"Tales of Blades and Heroes campaign longevity?" Topic

Hi all,

There is very little by way of detailed reviews of this around – a few early pieces saying "I've read it but haven't played it" and the usual internet drive-by "I love it" or "I hate it" with no explanation as to why.

I have a story with several arcs plotted out and want to know if this is a system that can carry it.

Has anyone run a full campaign?

How many games can you play before the characters max out?

Does it feel too light or repetitive, or can the mechanics support a meaty, gritty story?

If you love it, why?

If you hate it, why?

Thanks.

Never tried this beyond five scenarios to be honest.
The beauty of this system is you can do a quick campaign over a weekend and do another one next week.
Other systems will be played over several evenings or weekends ,so it depends on how you want to use it.

My longest playtest campaign was 11 sessions and players were satisfied with the progression of characters and story developments. Then the group fell apart because two players moved, but I'd say it can work. I'm terribly biased, being the author :-)
