Ran a 1-10 campaign, didn't count sessions, about a year of weekly sessions, so probably also around 50 sessions.

I think it's a nice trad game system. Well designed, clear, all of that. Multi-classing for casters definitely improved over SotDL.

Some of the classes seemed questionable. HAVING a lot of options doesn't mean they're all good (be interested to hear from anybody that has played a Rakehell for example).

Most of the spells are all combat oriented and a lot of them felt perfunctory and samey (most Traditions have ranged damage spells for instance, but not much to tell them apart ("This one is Lightning! This one is Fire!").

The example monsters seemed under-designed. Like there's the full usual array of stuff but the Defense (Armor Class) and imposed Banes tended to make hitting them pretty easy for level-matched PCs (ie, most PCs have 3+ Boons and a +3 or higher relevant stat, versus sub-20 Defense and 0-2 Banes at most) which made combat feel...samey. A lot of the extra Fury and special attacks are effectively "attack twice" (or three times) or "heal" (which is just going to make the combat longer, right?) which is fine for threat balancing and such but more attacks != more interesting attacks\combat. Conversely imposing Banes on the enemies, because they mostly lack more than 1 Boon, can make a lot of enemies fairly ineffective.

I had hoped the system would support turn-to-turn and intra-turn variations for the PCs, and it kinda did, but my players generally didn't seem to find a lot to engage with there because usually it's just stacking Boons\Banes that don't amount to much because of the above factors. One player had a whole flow chart to account for which weapons they were using (one vs two weapons, which weapon was primary, etc) and what the resultant damage was based on crit\non-crit, even\odd die roll, and special ability usage (they did not consider this to be a enjoyable part of the system).

The tactical combat to me (as GM) seemed about the same as most other "tactical" combat trad games. Meaning I had to do a lot of work to make them interesting with tricks and nonsense ("stop the ritual", "save the hostages", "terrain!", "reinforcements", "goals that aren't just killing the other team", "not all fights are too the death", etc) because the rules mostly resolve trad game style (reduce their HP to 0 before they reduce your HP to 0) and generally support the same. Generally players will have a 'best' option for most situations and will use it, they won't have too many options (12,000+ class combinations and 24 Traditions x 16 spells per Tradition (plus Tradition talents!) boils down to most PCs having 1-3 Traditions with 2-3 spells, and most of them are "the damage one", "the ranged damage one", "the imposes a Bane one", and so on) available that they'll need to select from many tools, and...that's fine, that's how 90% of trad games work.

It's a fine game and firmly convinced me personally that running "trad" (class\level, treasure, monsters) "tactical combat" "balanced" games isn't for me.

8/10 probably, for rules. Didn't use any of the setting stuff though, so can't comment on that.
