A few familiar faces, some new faces, a mix of more experienced, semi-experienced and new to PbF players. My job is made difficult already.
P.S. Brian! What do you mean you've never played DftQ before? You were in my The Wizard's Tower game, right? That was DftQ 😜

I posted this and then forgot about it for a few hours. Returning to so many comments with interest already is amazing!A few familiar faces, some new faces, a mix of more experienced, semi-experienced and new to PbF players. My job is made difficult already.
P.S. Brian!
My favorite game is the one I haven't played yet, and that goes for PBF as well as board games. And since I've never played DfTQ...

Ideally the combats should not be so one-sided. If the odds are stacked against the party too heavily, the dragon they are unprepared for (or whatever) might pass by once or twice and knock them around rather than pulverizing them. In my experience, this still has players at the edge of their seats because the danger is gripping even if the outcome of the fight is known. Sometimes a fight grinds down to a uninteresting cleanup situation, I tend to have the enemies run etc. but my players seem to like to hunt them down.

Not my creation, no. It's on my to-do list though, to make a DftQ style game. Still waiting for some inspiration to create my own.
As Erik already linked to the itch.io page, I'll link you to the For The Drama page of the game. For The Drama holds many (many many) DftQ games worth looking into!
And just checking: this question was just out of curiosity? Or are you also interested in playing the game?

I've played a few PBFs over the year, including Dungeon World, Traveler, Everwhen, D&D and my absolute favorite PBF experience Trail of Cthulhu The Black Drop by Jason Morningstar.
I'm currently not in any PbFs.
What interests me most about this is the setting. I'm a big Firefly fan and see this following in a similar vein. I love the way the crew all brings something different to the table, can at times have different agendas and objectives, but in the end pulls together as a chosen family trying to make their way through an unkind 'Verse.

I haven't really played anything particularly scary- plenty of ghost and ghouls and vampires and zombies and the like, but it wasn't all that scary in the end.

Sorry for my delay, I'll submit it very soon!
