Let me start off by saying that I love the content of this book. I think the concept is fantastic and I love how the original six stats were changed to fit more to the theme of the genre. That being said, I have never, EVER, seen a book so poorly written. Spelling, punctuation, grammar, layout, it is all offensively bad for a book that has a cost attached to it. This is currently (as of 9.2.2019) in a state that should be Pay What You Want because to charge for it is nearly criminal. I made the unfortunate mistake of buying a physical copy and I went through it with a highlighter and found over 180 (OVER 180!) highlighted spots that are either spelled wrong, have the wrong grammar, wrong (or no) punctuation, or oddly vague rules that are not explained well. An insane amount of sentences that start with lower case letters, no periods, commas where periods should be (and vice versa), etc. There are TWO pages in my copy (not counting full page art pieces) that do not have a highlighter mark on them. I kid you not.

All that being said, if this file got a proper proofreading and update, I would easily bump this up to FOUR STARS. Because it's cool as hell and I love what they've done with the OSR here. It really is a cool game, and I hope the developers take this as a plea to fix the game, not as me saying it's a terrible game. It's not a terrible game, it's a terribly written and un-edited book. I think FeralGamers has a potentially fantastic product on their hands here that with a little word of mouth could catch on quite well to the OSR community, and if this file gets properly fixed I will be spreading the word myself. If you don't mind bad proofreading and just want to play a cool Special OPS-Style OSR game, give this a shot (at pdf level until it gets fixed), and I can imagine people having a LOT of fun with this one!

EDIT - I am bumping this to 3 stars because the publisher got back to me and are actively working on updating this file. That is good customer service!!
