[QUOTE="tgmoore, post: 7730954, member: 6778703"] I will endeavor not to write an actual review but rather touch on a few of my observations. The book has excellent production values, art, layout and tables. If you are fan of Dungeon Crawl Classics (DCC) you will definitely be interested in this game. The setting can be described as post post apocalypse. This generic science fantasy setting occurs so far in the future that player characters now come from a stone age tribe with little more than legends of a distant technological past. No one has any idea how the end occurred and it really doesn't matter if it was 200 or 1000 years ago. Mad Max this is most certainly not. I do not think weird dice are hurdle to overcome as the physical dice are readily available from Goodman Games and online dice rolling programs for smart phone are available for free. I like Purple Sorcerers Crawler Companion. You can roll dice through a webpage here: [URL]https://purplesorcerer.com/roller.htm[/URL] (requires flash support). There are also very useful free character generation tools for your 0-level funnel. My quibbles are minor and not even in total are an excuse not to try out this game. My complaints are primarily disagreements with conscious design choices on the part of Goodman Games. I assume these design choices were made to keep page count down and are not due to oversight. These include a lack of medieval weapons/armor (easily ported from DCC but still not included), a lack of modern weapons and equipment like firearms, vehicles, pack animals, body armor which could serve as a middle tier between stone age and truly mysterious artifact level items. The decision to not include Shaman wetware spells over level 3. Such spells will be included in future adventures but not including them diminish the games utility as a all in one product. The bestiary is small with a paltry 30 entries but every adventure (including the one in the books) does include new stated out monsters in it. I found the 50/50 D100 roll of Hunter or Gatherer during character generation a bit of a let down. Especially in contrast the to very detailed Appendix A: Primitive Occupations Table found in 2013s DCC#79 Frozen in Time adventure module. [/QUOTE]
