My greatest loves in fantasy literature are tales of human-centric grimdark anti-heroes, such as written by Glenn Cook, Karl Edward Wagner, Joe Abercrombie, and Mark Lawrence. This lite rules set is great for telling such tales. If you like the old-school flair of Swords & Wizardry, you need to check this out - it even has THAC0 charts, and better yet - they are optional! And GKG once again hits the nail on the head with artwork; the art style is spot on. High contrast images that lack all semblance of subtlety, it is in-your-face grimdark imagery that fits the bill in spectacular fashion. The book is easy to read, a big plus for us elderly types, and the format of the pdf is perfect for use with devices, I can read a page without pinching or scrolling. The physical book is the ideal size for keeping in a backpack or purse. Enjoy!
