    Okay so firstly, wow, how did I totally miss the Black Flag Kickstarter came and went??

    And yeah I think if you’re after a more narrative style of play, this is explicitly more like a tactical wargame I guess which won’t be for everyone!

    With regard to style though I’m always happy to just do that myself. I ran a wild west fame using 5e for example. I guess it’s helpful to have splatbooks and stuff but wouldn’t you be able to run a pirate fantasy game using the TotV framework?

      I’ve ran one pirate 5e game and there’s nothing about 5e that is an issue, I’d have been really excited to see the default setting and monster manual of TotV be pirate themed, especially with all the content being D&D compatible. I don’t really mind though.

      I’m really excited for MCDM and their product, and I think a more tactical game will appeal to a lot of players. I’ve actually found a love for FATE recently and I feel that my regular group could probably enjoy this system the most, but beyond one-shots, transitioning systems is tough.
