I was pleasantly surprise when I got this book.
The layout and art makes it look like a novel from the time (17th century Europe). I was Impressed that all are of public domain art, very well done.
The writing is made in a way that resembles the language of the time as well, but without being cumbersome, the author's domain of the english language is unparalled, impressive that it is not his first language.
The rules are very clear, direct to the point and a very well thought and streamlined version of the D20 system (with A LOT of OSR sensibilities).
The Peoples, religion, classes, spells and customs in the book was all made in a very flavourful, funny and respectful way, at least in my random dude's internet view of things.
I don't know S### about Switzerland's history, but after reading this, I want to.
And this book is well worth just for the DM's part alone. I'm using some of the new (at least new for me) rules in my other OSR games. Very good stuff indeed. Highly recommended.
As a side note, the PDFs are not hyperlinked. not a big deal for me, but worth noting. (We NEED a hyperlinked version Xyntillan, though!!!! Please Gabor, pleeeeaaaase!)
