Now that you got rid of Edge, how are users getting in the internet?

No way in hell they are searching the start menu for IE

We don' need no stinkin internet.

Getting ready to kick off a new custom campaign using The Burning Wheel system as the basis.

I have all of those books and really like the conflict resolution mechanism. I've never played it though.

It looks really interesting. I haven't played it at all, but a few of my friends want something a bit more serious than just smash and grab, so we started looking around for a system that would support what we were wanting out of a ttrpg. I'm hoping that this will fill that niche. We're going to actually use Burning Empires since our world is a sci fi one. BITS looks like it could be very fun.

I own an embarrassing number of mostly unused books that BWHQ has published. Really enjoy the stuff they put out.

If you/your players haven't read the Iron Empires comics they are definitely worth checking out before you get your campaign going.

If you have a chance at any point I can't recommend enough getting in a demo session with Luke or Thor. Don't know how much they do that these days but they used to run them at a lot of conventions.

Good input. I'm hoping to see if I can find a video of one of those sessions.

Ah yes we do live in the age of video everything. I didn't spot anything for BE with a quick search but there are definitely some for BW which is probably close enough to be helpful.

Here is one of Luke running a BW:G era version of The Sword.

Great, thank you. I hadn't gotten that far yet this morning, so this is helpful.
