I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed reading this series. Yes, I greedily purchase all that could be had once I read the first issue. To simply say the writing is great, or even professional, seems below the mark. It was utterly captivating and whimsical. My only issue with any of it was the art. Though I'm sure everyone had fun creating and compiling the sundry illustrations that prevail, most seemed out of place compared to the writing. As for the game itself, I see much here that can be used in many settings and under many guises. All I can say for sure is that I will continue to buy issues as they become available. On that note, should the bestiary come to fruition, as I hope it shall, I beg of you to use the artist who illustrated "Monsters of the Woods" in issue number 8. Their work was beautifully rendered, conveying the same warmth, cohesion and care for detail as the writing. Just a thought.
