And it was (sort of) worth the wait! It was a fair sight shorter than I was expecting, but the art was gorgeous and the world was intriguing. I'm interested to see more in this world - just hopefully in a more timely fashion....more

I could see using this for a quick games night when I had nothing prepared. Fully half the book is dedicated to various "micro-settings" which have various levels of quality and polish - the art is also quite nice and stylised, but unfortunately often repeated which is a bit of a shame. Still, nifty little book....more

I backed this book ages ago on a random search for publishing on Indiegogo, since then I've refrained from Holy hell. I have a new favourite webcomic.
I backed this book ages ago on a random search for publishing on Indiegogo, since then I've refrained from reading the comic so that I could read it (well, the first 280~ pages) in one bash in book form as I much prefer. God, I'm gonna be up til 4 reading the rest of it now.
Beautiful art, great unique setting, very funny without losing sight of the seriousness of the world the characters are living in - very good. Also for a crowd-funded book, incredibly high production quality. Just wow....more

The artwork is gorgeous (and obviously the point of the book) and the story, while not anything groundbreaking, is solid and well told.
It amazes me how well they were able to build a world in so few pages - I regularly read 400+ page fantasy epics which have less impressive worldbuilding. Of course a visual medium over literary helps, but nevertheless - I just want to jump back into that world again. And since apparently it is the first of a planned series, I'll be able to!! So excited.
Very good, very worth the money - and most importantly, well worth the wait....more
