Blades is great! Switched to Blades/FitD from 5e for a change of pace. We really enjoyed it but eventually switched again to PF2e for some crunchier combat and character building.

But I do think Blades is my favorite "rules light" system I've tried. Works really well for TotM but still has enough crunch to feel like a game.

I've read "Beam saber" which is supposed to be Forged in the Dark, and I wouldn't call it "Rule light", the core is simple, but there is like 200 pages of rules, with "position", "consequences', flash back, downtime. Looks pretty heavy for a "rule light" system

But I still need to play-it to see how it runs, feel like there is a lot of "unique" concepts and that we'll need 2-3 one shot to get a feel how it runs

I totally agree. That's why I put "rules light" in quotes. Any any given moment there aren't a ton of rules to know but there are a lot of rules to cover a lot of those different moments, if that makes sense.
