Anyone out there played City of Mist and have any opinions on it? I understand it’s built off of the PBtA architecture, but has significant differences like Blades in the Dark or Happiest Apocalypse on Earth.
Just trying to decide whether I want to splurge while it’s on sale, and thought I’d check if anyone here has any insights (pro or con) as to how it actually plays.

I read an early copy, and it seems to use the variable success of PbtA. Instead of stats it uses a system of tags which work like aspects from Fate. When you roll you roll+tags justifying if tags are relevant based on the action.
I’d love to here thoughts from someone who’s played it.

We did some sessions on the Gauntlet, based on the QS. We recorded the videos– you can see some commentary at the episode conclusions. Here’s my blog post on that (with the links)

Thanks, Lowell Francis I should have known you’d have been all over this – don’t know why I didn’t just go right to your blog.

I play it a lot. It is pretty good if you want a very energetic, very mystery based PbtA with a look of nice tricks.
It stands out in the versatile way it handles mythology and super heroes; it really shines in cinematic character progression that is some of the best character advancement in PbtA.
Cons is that if you do not want to have a mystery game, CotM has little to offer without some heavy adaptation.
It holds a special place in my heart because I think I can use it to run games on my Heroes of the Republic IP.

It’s very dense for a PbtA game, and works better as a pulp game than a dark game.
