I can’t find anyone saying anything about this game online, so I wanted to say that my impression from reading is extremely positive. I can’t wait to try it at the table. It gives me Against the Wind and Mythic Bastionland and Wildsea vibes, yet offers something different than any of those. Looking forward to your future development.
I'm really enjoying my initial read of this game and look forward to the Kickstarter as much as trying it with a group sometime! It shares lots of aesthetics and terms with a campaign I've dreamt of running and the mechanics are so sparse and unfettered compared to any other system I could use. Rock on!
… Thorn is set on Obron, after “The Age of Steel and Stars has faded”, as it “enters its dusk“.
Nova is also set on Obron, but after the Sun exploded. Could this mean that Thorn is a Post-Nova setting for Obron? The celestial focus (sunshards and moonstones) for Nova seems like it could be an Age of Stars, and there’s certainly enough technology for it to be an age of Steel! You did say that the Corvus Lashers often coat their talonwhips in steel or reforge them entirely from steel, after all. Just noticing…
Alternatively, as Thorn is when Obron enters its Dusk, the time before the night, is it a prequel to Nova - when the sun goes out and it becomes Night?
- A few setting questions from a wanderer who found LIGHT and checked out your “Created Games” section.
Edit - Just processed the start of Thorn’s blurb, the old world is being reborn, which furthers my original story of Thorn being a Post-Nova timestamp.
