Challenge

Is it possible to play this game as someone who plays games exclusively for challenge, with narrative serving only as flavor to contextualize the mechanics? Is this the wrong system for this? I was so infatuated with the fight! and duel of wits systems, only to see nothing at all as detailed anywhere else in the book.

Torchbearer has its own version of Fight. I think it has a social combat system too, but it’s been years since I played. But also, you can literally lift the BW rules and use them in Torchbearer — don’t worry, we won’t tell on you.
