Absolutely love this game. I think the ruleset is really interesting and a good blend of narrative-focus and crunchiness, and the loremaster section of the core rulebook is outstanding and gives a good format for running other games as well. Plus, the book quality is incredible--the art, font, and formatting are all gorgeous, and the materials are top-notch. 100% my favorite paper of any book I own.
Thoroughly enjoyed this, and I'm looking forward to more in the series. I've been investing in Free League for a few years now, when I went looking for an OSR tone that also included mechanics for exploration. Even Free League's more narrative-oriented games (e.g. Vaesen) knows what it's meant to deliver at the table.
They didn't ship my replacement at my first request, but once I messaged a second times months later they shipped them super quickly. Still using the misprints though for extras
@@TheBasicExpert adds +2 to the roll as it's written I think. So for example you roll an 8 on your feat die. A 4 and a 3 on your success dice, which gives you 15. Add +2 for the close fitting and you get a 17?
I've backed off of Free League's stuff. They're getting more involved, perhaps too involved, in licensed gaming and fail to support their original games and keep material in print. Also, their newer offerings have some clear Leftist threads running through them. Dragonbane, for example, borrows a bit from 5e and it has things like describing the fighter class as emotionally damaged (mentioning that they need hugs) and implies that an elf's prejudice against goblins and orcs is a character weakness/flaw. They also have a, "Safe play" statement in the rulebook, which is especially cringeworthy.
