Take a guess… But I haven’t been on reddit for a long time.
wish me luck :) I’ll keep you updated.
This is essentially copy/paste of what I wrote on blahaj.zone, forgive me when I could have done it more elegantly:
I believe it hits the sweet spot on many levels, including:
Combat is much quicker resolved (and, as stated above, much more streamlined and fluid than pathfinder or DnD). A character has at most 6 Hitpoints (his strength), and losing those points makes him weaker (because they use strength to do melee attacks as well). At the same time, becoming “broken” takes you out of the fight and you receive a critical injury, possibly, but not necessarly, death. Call it - more dangerous, but less deadly.
I in fact love it enough to have opened the lemmy community.
Edit: I think it’s vital to have a Session 0, especially with players accustomed to D&D.
I wish I could have helped properly. Now I got to know the cool app and you had to find a “hack”. Anyways, I hope you find our content useful. I was a bit lazy during the weekend, but I’m compiling topics/“needToKnows” for session zero. Greatly influenced by this very post here.
Interesting, I need to check it out. Have you tried searching again? sh.itjust.works probably did not know lemm.ee the first time. it should show up now.
I’m also at the very beginning of my lemmy-journey, but I help to the best of my ability (what’s wefwef? - just to approximate my ability^^)

Let me know what you think.
I can warmly recommend Mechwarrior Destiny. Very narrative, rules-light and cinematic. Features from FitD can be implemented without troubles (I’ve seen Actual plays doing it.)
I myself never played S&V, but I suspect it’s pretty star-wars-y. Coriolis is surprisingly hard-scifi.
But really take a look at destiny.
I know there’s an already written RPG for the game but tbh I don’t really like it. There’s two
both are quite different from each other, which one do you not like?
For specifically FitD, have you looked at scum & villainy? It’s star wars but you might find a treasure trove of stuff to use there.
I wasn’t even aware of that - I doubt that this would be relevant to free league, but I only scratched the surface of the issue. Thank you for enlightening me, though.
Forbidden Lands certainly deserves a mention here. Forbidden Lands has a fledgeling community on lemmy, to: https://lemm.ee/c/forbiddenlands
A cancelled person? What does that mean?
There’s some resemblance there, that’s true :) We played Gloomhaven before Forbidden Lands, too, but all online, so there weren’t many stickers involved in the first place. Congratulations on finding a group to play, are you campaigning or just hexcrawling? There’s a community for FbL on lemmy, did you know?
It must be an urban classic by now, but I can’t stop marvelling at free league’s forbidden lands. The system is dead-simple, yet leaves all the room for nuance and tactics. The fantasy world is classic, but with a surprise twist here. The official campaigns are superb with lots of “aha!” Secrets to discover, while at the same time a low-prep gameplay with just travel (well done hexcrawl) and randomly generated sites is also possible.
I can see it now, thank you. Also, just for clarification, with Reclaim Potential, when your echo gets destroyed and you have 1 temp HP, you’re out of luck, right? the 2D6+CON won’t overwrite this (so you get those instead), right?
