A screencap of a forum post. It reads:

This is my fourth run with Ironsworn since discovering the system in 2021.

One game solo.
One GM-led game with me as GM + 4 players playing bog-standard Ironsworn classic.
One co-op game with me + 1 playing Ironsworn: Starforged.
Just started co-op game with me + 1, with another + 1 friend to be joining, playing Ironsworn classic with a setting shift to ancient Greece.

Every single time I have turned to this system to run a game, as long as I follow its core premises, procedures, and ethos, it has delivered beyond my expectations each time. It's fun, it's engaging, it produces compelling gameplay and narratives.

It's almost . . . eerie, in a sense. Like, there's a secretly a part of me that keeps thinking, "Surely this game can't be this good. Surely it's going to be a let down at some point, or not deliver the goods."

But that secret fear continues to be smashed every time I use Ironsworn in play.

It's a wholly unique experience of its own that is unlike anything else I have played. It delivers a level of energy and engagement that is unique, and frankly rare relative to other roleplaying experiences I've had. Maybe 1-in-3 or 1-in-4 sessions of other games I've played consistently reach that same level of engagement I've seen in nearly every session of Ironsworn I've ever held.

Everything is awful, but this very kind Ironsworn comment over at EN World sure did put some wind in my sails.

More of that precision dice kick I was on. Sharp edge 16mm from Baron of Dice, in super fancy cases with magnetic lids. Noticeably smaller than casino dice.
