# Iron Valley tags: #game/pg/iron-valley ![[Iron Valley (cover).jpg]] _Iron Valley_ is a cozy tabletop role-playing game (TTRPG) developed by M. Kirin, inspired by the mechanics of **[[Ironsworn]]**. This game immerses players in a pastoral setting where they engage in farming, crafting, and building relationships within a charming community. It's designed to be a low-stakes, comforting experience with a strong emphasis on personal growth and community interaction. **Core Die Resolution Mechanics:** The core mechanics of _Iron Valley_ revolve around the "Try Your Best!!" system, where players roll two six-sided dice (2d6) to determine the outcome of their actions. The results are categorized as follows: - **Strong Hit (10-12):** The action succeeds fully. - **Weak Hit (7-9):** The action succeeds, but with a complication or minor setback. - **Miss (2-6):** The action fails, often leading to a significant consequence. The game employs various "moves" that players can make, which are triggered by specific in-game actions or decisions. For instance, the "Make a Promise" move allows characters to set goals and track progress through a series of boxes, reflecting the time and effort invested. This move has sparked discussions within the community about its complexity and urgency mechanics. **Editions and Changes:** _Iron Valley_ has seen updates that enhance its depth and player experience. Version 1.1 introduced a range of new features, including fantastical livestock options and expanded rules explanations. The length of the rulebook was doubled, providing more detailed tutorials and oracles​​. Subsequent updates have focused on refining the game's systems based on player feedback, ensuring a smoother and more intuitive gameplay experience. ## References - [Iron Valley - DriveThruRPG](https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/437587/Iron-Valley) - [Iron Valley - Itch.io](https://mkirin.itch.io/iron-valley) - [Iron Valley Review - Virtual Writer](https://mkirin.itch.io/iron-valley)
