Daniel I. ★★★★★

The art in this thing is gnarly in the best way, and the monster section alone gave me a dozen ideas for my next session. I also didn't realize the PDF comes free with the physical book, which made it easy to reference on my laptop during play.

Leo ★★★★★

Didn't expect the starting adventure to hook my group this fast—we burned through the whole first session in one sitting. For 120 pages it packs in a ton: classes, monsters, and lore that actually fits together instead of feeling bolted on. That 6" x 8.5" size is perfect for tossing in a bag too.

Samuel X. ★★★★★

The digital PDF being included sealed it for me—I can read the lore on my phone during lunch and roll up characters when I get home. All 120 pages are dense with monsters and a starting adventure, exactly what I needed to jump right in.
