Great review, Eric! Good to know that previous knowledge of Starforged is necessary to understand some rules. Sounds like a must-have supplement if you're familiar with Ironsworn and Starforged, but also a little overwhelming for newcomers like me hahah.
Its pretty much only the Scene Challenges (which are in the original Ironsworn but not really codified into Scene Challenge specific rules) that might require a bit of Starforged knowledge. Everything else is core rules or Delve, except for Follow a Path, which is a super simple move. I think you could handle it!
Excellent review. I didn’t bother with the original Lodestar, as it basically replicated what I had. But this seems like it’s some good stuff and puts it all together in one place. I think I’ll pick it up - and I definitely concur with going ring bound!
I didn’t pick up the original load star, playing purely from the Ironsworn PDF but I’m hoping to run a smaller form game sometime later this year, so I’m very tempted to pick this up so I can play a more analogue run. Great Review!

I should probably get used to Ironsworn first.
Thanks for the review!
Thanks for reading!

Thanks for reading! I’ve loved having Lodestar, both the original and now the new one. Makes it much quicker than flipping around in the rule book.
