Was reading through swashbucklers of the 7 skies and... PDQ looks pretty good, covers a lot of ground, and is very clearly written.
I wonder why it didn't become more successful.
Heck, I think it's way better than FATE!
Any opinions?

I wonder if the way damage is handled had a negative effect on its popularity....

@artikid I don’t think I’ve ever heard of PDQ. Will look into it now.

@artikid PDQ is one of my favorite systems, I like it much more than Fate. I think it's less well known simply because it didn't get nearly as much promotion as Fate, and creator Chad Underkoffer has been out of the scene for several years now. One issue I had with S7S and the PDQ# iteration of the system: the intended flow of style dice is unclear. I've run it several times, but still find the "bowl vs box" distinction confusing.
