This is a game about killing things and taking their stuff so you can become more powerful in order to kill bigger things and take even better stuff.

Thanks for sharing. I have been considering ideas for a possible (future) game and references such as this will be a big help.

From the website: "If you like the PDF please pay what you think it is worth, or buy a paper copy. I greatly appreciate reviews on Amazon as well! Thank you!"
Clearly, finances are tight for many people but anyone should be able to at the very least leave a review on Amazon (there are only four reviews at current). I know, once I've had a chance to review the material, and especially if I use it, I plan on doing at least that much.

Hmm... this makes me want to revamp my ideas of running a campaign and character generation and... everything, you know? I like the character creation ideas he has, but... I wonder if there might be a way of putting some limits on the stat generation process without using dice. Or, at least, with minimal use of the dice.
I shall ponder that for a while and see what comes up.

I downloaded it and skimmed a few sections. Good stuff for sure. I'll have to find some more time to really get into it.

Decided to print it out, ran out of ink!
Some stuff I question but it good over all. He has nearly as much experience as I.
