Whizbang Dustyboots
Gnometown Hero
I was interested in this product as a way to dynamically generate a deadly forest for Shadowdark games.
Then I read this brutal review by Skerples, which makes it sound largely unusable. (And he knows usability, as anyone who's picked up The Monster Overhaul can testify to.)
But I keep hearing the book mentioned, including by @Fenris-77 on these boards. So I'd like to hear from people who have it and have used it in play.
Is the book unusable? Are the rules and charts illogical and disconnected from one another? Were many or all of the issues Skerples raised addressed in the revised edition?
I appreciate any thoughts anyone has.
