W&W is a very quick, rules lite game in the tradition of the Old-School D&D. Or more to the point, how old school D&D is typically remembered these days. I tend to think there is some "glamorization" of the old days of gaming as characters barely needing a name because they were going to die that soon. While this certainly could happen, it was not the norm. For a buck you get 20 pages of east to use rules and very basic character concepts and monsters.
The 2d6 is easy to use and like most good systems it gets out of the way quickly. It's a good game for people that don't want a lot of rules and don't mind rules abstraction.

I disagree with the central premise though that todays games are all "faeries and unicorns" and I find the notion destracting from the central conciet of the game. Plenty of of old school games were light and fluffy, plenty of new games have TPKs every few sessions.

Again, the game is a buck and it would be great to play in an afternoon. Maybe even as a subsititute for my normal game while I am waiting for my minis to dry.

This is a nice light set of fantasy RPG rules, using just 2d6 and some scratch paper.

The rules give you four classes and some advanced classes (think D&D prestige classes), combat and magic rules, and about a dozen critters in a bestiary. Appendices give you advice on making your own classes and monsters.

Characters have no attributes or skills, and are defined solely by their classes. There are no lists of equipment, or rules for travel and such.

At $1.00 for 21 pages Witches and Wyverns is a decent value, though limited. An experienced GM could easily use it as to run hours worth of adventures with little to no prep, and making up new content for the game would be simple.

Other stuff: To my eyes the layout looks fine. I didn't see any major typographical errors. The art is minimal but there is some art.
