I’ve been enjoying Cargoth so far, started a new game to play it with, and really enjoying the switch up from my regular play style. This play through helped me find a way to make journaling the battle scenes more enjoyable as well.
Loving the Ironsworn content, I really can’t get enough, think it’s my all time favourite engine, and I meant to play Iron Valley, but forgot about it, so thanks or the reminder.
Awesome to hear your enjoying Cargoth! If you have any ideas or areas you think can be improved, let me know! I'm keen to do some tweaks to it before it releases into full publication.
Finished my adventure in Cargoth, had a lot of fun with the fact it gave me alot of different things to discover than my previous ironsworn games. I’m even planning to use it to jump start a larger campaign after my characters vision at the end.
In terms of feedback, there were a few prompts that I rerolled because I couldn’t wrangle them to fit the situations, but to me that’s just Ironsworn. I could maybe say that there could be some prompts on some of the “City” tables for when to roll on the “Ruins” tables, and I found I doubled up on my initial vow with a journey to find the orb as that seemed the only way to mechanically start earning ticks on the vow itself. Maybe having the vow be simpler, but a journey through each stage of the city that filled the simpler vow could have worked better. But that might just be a me thing.
All in all I really enjoyed it and thank you so much for offering it out for free. It’s reinvigorated my joy of playing Ironsworn and means I’ll probably try a few other adventures in the future.
Do you know any cool Ironsworn-based games you'd like the world to know about? Post it in the comments!
Appreciate the shoutout!

Awesome! Thanks for the feedback as I start to think about an improved version. And I'm so glad you had a good time!
Thank you for the kind mention, and I'm stoked to see how the game turns out!!
Thanks! I've been keen to use Push in a game for a while now and I'm happy how well it works in Identity.
I'd love to playtest Identity. Sounds really cool. I'm always on the hunt for games with that sort of vibe (sounds a little Twin Peaks-y...)
Yeah definitely Twin Peaks style stuff going on. Maybe I should add in an event where people speak backwards?
Cool issue, Croaker - and thanks for "The Lost City of Cargoth" adventure! I'm looking forward to learning how to play Ironsworn!
Yeah let me know how you go with The Lost City. Ironsworn is such a great game, really fun and it will take you into many unexpected directions.
