I was really intrigued by the DragonRaid concept when I first learned about it a couple weeks ago. I was thinking of picking up a set but it got put on the backburner as life continued
. Would you be willing to lay out what some of the strengths and weaknesses were from your point of view?
I have used the old d6 based Starwars system and the Serenity system to run small campaigns for jr highs I was discipling. I found the Empire mapped pretty nicely onto the Roman Empire for the sake of running through some of the decisions the early church had to make and imagining things from that perspective. As well as just leading into basic discussions around light and darkness, redemption, and positive versus negative character traits and teamwork strategies. The Serenity system I just used a backdrop for a quick 'space zombies' arc exploring power in the blood imagery, and enemy love.
I would love to hear how effective / engaging you found the DragonRaid system and if you had any positive or negative experiences either playing it or gming it.
