It's pretty damn amazing. My local group has done one session, but a long one. Played till we ran outta table. Never got down to narrative scenes, though.
Remembered I had a membership here when Rich posted about it. Being an invite site, thought it best not to let it go to waste.

The more I think about it, the more this seems to be the case: the rules as they currently stand are substantially more of a traditional RPG framework than maybe we're used to seeing from the mighty One-Seven. That is, they handle the crunch, give a…
I've re-read the rules, and I'm running into the same roadblocks you've been describing. Definitely something that needs to be addressed in the play report. Any thoughts on a system with which you're comfortable to translate the characters over and …
It's in our ward, on the opposite side of the island. the 5 o'clock tower was on top of a thermal spring, and this place grew up in it's shell. Bragon is up front, keeping an eye out. With that in mind, the place is pretty cheap. It's mostly just se…

"Either the Lamps knew I was coming, in which case we're in bigger trouble than we thought, or they're really that stretched thin. I'd mark Coleburn's up as a pretty high priority, so I'm boggled that they'd leave it open by choice. Sounds …
Just finished establishing a dead drop outside the Knucklebone. Handful of shekkles, pair of lockpicks, wrapped up in an oil-black rain cloak. Have the lightning hook stashed at my apartment, not risking a stop without a permit. I'm just blocks away…
"Будьмо" (Health!).
"That's the motherfucker in this place, yeah? The weather is a bastard. You start getting hailed on, you let me know. Working on tin umbrellas."
Toss back a final slug, "Будьте безпечні, товариш" (Be safe, comrade). Stand, and …
Gather up the rest of the pot, drop them into a buttoned, internal pocket in my coat. Drop a shekel down, wave over for another round, indicating Kristos to join me.
"Why do I feel like I just dodged a bolt? How's the trade, Kristos? Beetles've bee…
5 is the main. 2, 3, 11, 12 outs, nick at 5. Anything else, I hold chance, and roll again. The oaks bounce across the felt, what feels like forever. I can smell both of them. The subtle, fine rose on Remira, the oil and sweat on Arcy, and the mix is…
"ебать!" (Fuck!)
I'm a mark. They're pigeoning me. They have to be. Godshit and piss! The white oak bones are suddenly very warm in my hands, heavy. Throbbing like a pulse. I stare down at the four coins in the middle of the table. The gauntleted h…
Remira. The Leviathan Hunter. Not that she'd ever held a harpoon.
Well... not a proper harpoon, anyway. She's a hustler extraordinaire, a free agent, targeting high rollers. If she's at the Roses, times must be rough. She's claimed to've worked the…
Arcy is on occasion what we call a "rail bunny". Mostly young men and women who support their habits by servicing bulls. We've passed, shared a drink at the company houses, tumbled a couple times. There're rumors she's an independent enforcer now. …
So, as far as dice games in the world, I'm thinking Milos goes mostly for Hazard (same as the English game:Hazard ) and a Bull's game modified from an original Skovlan game-- Hook and Anchor (same as Crown Anchor
I'm going to use the Knuckle rooftops to get back to Six Towers and the guild house. Need to see about getting a Bull's license eventually to keep the Beetles off my back about the hook. Want to report in, drop the loot, and find a game.
Fair enough. Redundancy, or something like other equipment. Electrical hook, spirit jar...
Something associated with the bulls would draw Milos' eye, and prove useful.
OK, loot in Milos' job. The item I'm looking at snagging for myself is a pair of spirit-goggles (see Ghost Lines). Too lux for a straight burglary job?
He usually keeps his spare cash box up here, so I'm keeping an eye out for that. Ideally, also, an expensive item already purchased, but portable. Not wanting to stuff my pockets, just get a good, solid point across. It needs to be a couple things h…
