About 5 years ago now, I had started to get into TTRPGs through 5e, and I have recently started to explore and look into the older editions and OSRs as a GM from the beginning of my RPG career in the past couple of years or so (need to always broaden the horizons of what one knows and what one can offer); and I have found a few that I've liked. This is clearly one of them, and in my personal pages of history and opinion, this is in my top 10 OSRs: rate up there with Basic Fantasy RPG, Lamentations of the Flame Princess, Swords & Wizardry, Stars Without Number, and etc. That is where I personally rank it. And as another had said, it seems to be clearly a labor of love. So I went ahead and bought the hardcover premium color version because I support it, and I also work better with a hard copy of a book in my hands to quickly leaf through the pages when necessary; while also wanting it to last through the ages for as long as possible. I do believe, however, a downloadable pdf for the character sheet should be made available separately; so as to print them off if need be and hand them out to players, or fill them out on pc for games being run online. It would be a great help if it wouldn't be too much trouble. Other than that, I give this OSR a 5/5 stars from this GM (10/10 if I could), for reconstruction and recompilation of the 2e rules in a single volume. A work of art and a job well done.

Edit 1: A stand alone separate character sheet has now been made available. Great customer support. For a response as quick as this to something that could have easily been ignored, to something as simple as a character sheet, another 5/5 stars from me. Nothing ever gets any bigger than the little things in life, and those are the things that matter most. And to those wishing for a module that they could have to go along with this, I would say to be patient and I'm sure one will be along the way soon enough, just as they said it would be.

Edit 2: This edit is as of May 6, 2024. I have read some other reviews upon my return that have been posted after my own initial review. And I want to make something very clear as I had said in my initial review. I had purchased the "Hardcover, Premium Color Book" in support of the project itself and for no other reason. If the quality of the printer was good, all the better, but if not then I wouldn't fret about it because I wouldn't have expected many at that time to have purchased many of that quality at that point since it seemed to me as if not many had from that time period. For me personally, I still felt it was a worthwhile investment, due to the shear fact of supporting the labor of love that FG&G actually is. But I will concur, that at the time of my purchase and I can say nothing of what those who have purchased it since that time, the color of the high quality printer was lacking a bit at that time. But it didn't bother me in the least because I support the product itself for what it is overall and I wanted to show my gratitude in that fact. And I would spend the money again because I still support it because I stand by it. I do believe the more who purchase it, and give honest reviews about the quality of the printer, would help Justin to get in contact and keep tabs with the printer so the quality can be increased and people get what they expected if they purchase it on the grounds as some would rather than a person like myself just trying to show my gratitude regardless of what the quality is like. I was the one who suggested in the discussion tab that a form fallible character sheet should be made available separate from the book itself, so that it could be printed off or to be used in online games, and Justin did so within no more than a few days to a week at most. Let him know what needs to be done if you feel it's absolutely necessary and I'm sure he will do his best to see that it gets done if at all possible.
