Grading the Burning Wheel System

[Autumnal]

I have resumed reading and will be trying some experiments in chargen sometime in the next few days. It is somewhere close to my limit of viable complexity (which is its own weird thing and will need a prefatory post of its own), and I don’t yet know which side its own. I admit to wishing I could detach about 1.5 subsystems, like no skills and a consolidated approach to artha. But I persist.

That's not surprising - not that I know what your limit is, before this post, but it's a reasonably complex engine and so it's no surprise that a sensible person might find it too complex.

I find that character gen has a charm all its own, a bit like Traveller in that respect!
