This is one of the best OSR style rulesets I've played. It's bursting with useful tools for all sorts of adventures (including material for Solo play with no additional books). This is a real deal desert-island game right here. Enough material in between these covers to game for years and the author offers it for the low, low cost of FREE. The art is nice, the layout is compact and useful, it's B/X compatible.
Hi, I’ve just purchased the PDF. Will the new a5 physical version have a bigger/more readable typeface than the older A5 physical edition please? Really want rotor purchase the new a5 edition as that is my preferred book size, but I want it to be comfortable to read. Also will we be able to choose a spiral bound version? Thank you for your help.
Hi, thank you for that! I've had my head in the books (literally) for the last few weeks, seeing what I can do. Unfortunately, reformatting the A5 version proved to be very difficult and time consuming, also I didn't like how we were going to lose the two-page spread layout for the wilderness/dungeon/etc. sections.
I know that the A4 version is quite large, so as a compromise I will be offering a 7x10" version (tablet sized) in both paperback and hardcover that is more portable than A4 and much easier on the eye than the A5 version. I will still be offering the A5 version as a mini-travel version, because I know a lot of people didn't mind the text size and wanted a very small book for their solo kits etc.
I have to say though, the 7x10" one is currently my favourite size, and the one I'm personally using.
The last round of proofs should be arriving with me in a week or so, at which point I'll update the links above.
Regarding a spiral bound version, I haven't made any plans for one of those, but I could look into it in the future at some point.
Many thanks again and I hope that you enjoy playing!
This is an amazing product! I'm playing it solo and it has so many useful but simple rules. I love that it's compatible with all the OSR products too. Highly recommend!

Howdy! How are the mid sized (7x10) hardcover proofs coming along? No rush ofc.
Oh Wow! The physical book will come out on Amazon soon? :)
Yes, I am waiting on the last (hopefully) round of print proofs from Amazon now. I expect that to take a week or so, then I'll update everyone here!
