I love this system. Very cool rules set. I am looking forward to running it when I can get my players together.

bloody love it! a delightfully basic mechanic allows for more inventive creations, setting wise and creature wise.

for what its designed for it is rules lite dungeoneering fun.

but with some meddling (a couple of extra stats and seperating experience and currency) I've now got the perfect rules system for running quick 'filler' games between my groups full on gaming sessions.

my only addition would be, that it could be good to add some tropey monsters to guide those less creative in what the average abilities of such creatures is as a guide to people coming up with their own?

so far ran one session with this, was a good balance of giggles and 'serious?' roleplay. Many thanks.

I dig it. Lots of great design ideas here.

Cool stuff... 1.) Your characters have special things they can do something somewhat akin to 4e but without any bloat whatsoever. This rocks. 2.) Simplified and streamlined die mechanics that remind me a bit of Dungeon World... very cool.

Not so cool stuff... 1.) Healing potions can blow up and make you sick, etc. Kinda funny but also might get in the way of a serious game. However, if you're going for a beer and pretzels kinda thing, watching your party throw up blue chunks and emit noxious gases could be pretty awesome. 2.) The bit about everything having gold, gold, gold! Well, this reminds me too much of being in Legend of Zelda or some other type video game. Not necessarily a bad thing, but in a more serious game it could stretch the suspension of disbelief too far into gonzo-land. And that being the experience system as well isn't quite my thing.

But yeah, in general two thumbs up for this one!
