Hey, really digging the game! But I have one question: what do you mean by „ties favor the player“? from the rest of the rules I was under the impression that both dice, player and monster, are always applied so for example on me rolling a 3 and the monster rolling a 5 we‘d both take one hit, correct? So what would happen on a tie? on, say, each rolling a four would only I deal damage? And on both rolling a 1 would only the monster takes a failure damage? Thanks!
By the way, I'm a Mexican youtuber who reviews board games and other stuff. In my next video, I would like to talk about Ironbound, teach the mechanics, and show the gameplay.
Before releasing the video, I think it would be a good idea to translate it into my language. This would allow us to reach more people.
Would you be interested in a free translation into Spanish?
If you accept, how would we work?
Can I publish the translation in my Itch.io profile (giving you credit, obviously) or would you prefer me to send you the plain text so you can add it to this page?

This ended up being so much cooler than I anticipated. Thank you so much for making this it got me writing again after such a long time!
I awake in a library
I am swiftly slain by a silver homuncli
The GODDESS rases me again
I REMEMBER my past
I was called Lach, a knight sent out to deal with petty theves
My IRON arm aches as I grip my longsword and head back in
I enter the ruins of a workshop
A BURNING goblin attacks, My IRON cuts them down
I enter a shabby laboratory, it's crystal goblin stops working as I am noticed
They are shattered without a thought
I search the laboratory closet and find a LIVING wooden golem
we trade blows before it is splintered
I made it back to the shabby library
The marbled homuncli greets me smugly
the weight of my IRON destroys them
I search the library's archives
it is guarded by a crystal homuncli
Their crystal cuts deep
The GODDESS rases me again
I must escape, I must see HER again
My LOVE D----!
My IRON leg scrapes against the stone of my cell as I head back in
I push my way into a organized reagent closet, it's flaming puppet fights back
we trade blows before they are snuffed
I find the ruins of the laboratory
A wood slime has taken up residence
we trade blows before I can crush it
I enter the ruins of a workshop, a marble goblin blocks the way out
They are shattered without stopping
I find a section of the workshop that is still functional
A wooden puppet is here still
I cut it's strings
I find myself in a large empty room with a BURNING golem at it's center
I must be close to THE MAGE
I trade blows with the flame before ending its flailing
Finally at the top of the tower I see The MAGE
They wound me but I take their LEFT ARM
They try and escape but I take BOTH LEGS
Before I can finish them a spell BURNS through my chest
The GODDESS rases me again
THE MAGE... I knew her once
We fought side by side, were put in chains together as well
Who were we before The GODDESS...
I struggle to lift my IRON LEGS as I head back in
This shitty library again, the silver golem rises to greet me
We both fall down the stairs in the struggle
my IRON is stronger
through to the ruins of the laboratory
A small crystal puppet ambushes me as I push through the rubble
We struggle to find footing in the debris
The IRON shatters what is left
I stumble across a ruined Dining area
This place is falling apart around me
a goblin with a wooden club makes its last stand
My ARM seems to move on its own, crushing them
I enter a grand room, this is where I saw THE MAGE last time
In their place stands a burning puppet
I watch as they burn to ash
A marble slime blocks my way into a new library
We both move at a blinding speed, but I stand tall
THE MAGE they stand against THE IRON BASTARD I HAVE BECOME
I SEVER BOTH ARMS as they try and cast
we trade blows, before I take back THEIR LEG
Their flame singes what skin I have left, but I take their LAST LIMB
I hardly cling to life as I manage to DESTROY THEIR HEAD
THE MAGE can finally DIE and be free of this place
THE GODDESS owns much of my body, a BLACKIRON BASTARD I shall remain
but my heart and mind are my own again
at last I am free...
Absolutely LOVED reading through this, thank you for sharing!!
I loved this game.
