### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As a long time GM, this is a must-have.
*by B***D on July 29, 2022*

Beautiful artwork, quality materials. I am excited to run games with it, I will write a more in-depth review of the game itself once I've given it a try. But the book itself is amazing, and I will point out the cover is much more resistant than many RPG books. After first session I can say it runs well! While it was a learning curve from many RPGs, the mechanics and theme work very well. I definitely recommend reading through the whole book at least once, as I found some of the rules confusing. Great game for beginners or long time RPG gamers!
