I immediately kickstarted this product when a friend linked me to its campaign; as a huge fan of the Soulsborne series, this supplement does a fine job of painting a new world and style of play for your fantasy RPG of choice.

As of this writing the supplemental guides for Dungeon World and D&D 5e are still being developed by Metal Weave Games. That being said a good GM will find the standalone book packed with interesting quest seeds, compelling and evocative art, and plenty of inspiration for building and roleplaying your own NPCs, boss encounters, and Magical Items.

While I did notice a few minor misspellings and typos here and there, the layout and quality of writing text make for a very compelling read. The Cycle of Ember will stay with you long after you put the book down.

While I would love to see some more mechanical details added to the product, or perhaps even an additional expansion in the future, I'm very pleased with the book that I got and can't wait to spring a Souls-inspired campaign on my players in the next few weeks.
