Hello! I'm really excited to play this! Do I need to have the initial game info downloaded as well--or can I just use this?

I would suggest also grabbing the rulebook (it's free!). This is meant as a play-friendly reference, and does not contain the rules explanations and examples.

Ironsworn is 270 pages. Yes 99 is a third-ish but still quite a bit more than the previous version. Looks very ink heavy too for printing. Lots of solid color places that don't need to be.

Seems like a step forward in layout and style, but two back as well for raw usability at the table and ease of print.

There is a printer-friendly version included in the file downloads.

Sorry if the format doesn't work for you. Of course you can use the old version of Lodestar if that better fits your preferences. The page count comparison doesn't tell the whole story, in that the old version was 8.5 x 11, while this is 6x9 trade size. The new version prints rather nicely at letter-sized or A4 in landscape format with 2-pages side-by-side, which reduces the page count by half for home printing.

Cool new character sheet, layout and art, Mr. Tomkin and team!

Thank you!
