It's good

I like the art. The rules are simple enough. May end up playing with my kids.

Great

A perfect TTRPG to play if you like dark fantasy settings (which my group and I do), providing a much needed break from that other TTRPG (you know the one) 🙂

Really nice OSR option

Loving the look and feel of this game. I think the XP systems and inventory management will add some fun dynamics to my next game. Can't wait to get the full edition for the random tables and extra gamemaster stuff.

Awesome game

Playing with friends of mine. One of our friends runs the campaign setting the game system is great to understand. The dark tone of old school dungeon crawl tabletop roleplaying game makes the game have risks involved.
