This is a solid resource for very non-essential game content you can refer to for your NGR game, including a handful of sample magic items, monsters, traps, religions, and spells you might add to your game. Most beneficial by far is the NPC section, as building even a generic level 0 bandit enemy or whatever can take a while in NGR. There is also a robust set of wilderness encounter tables which I will definitely be using both in and outside of NGR. I would've liked a bit more examples of monsters, but otherwise good stuff

I had high hopes for this game. I'm into indie magazine sized OSR D&D like-games generally. This one just rubs me the wrong way. It's trying SO hard to be different that there are mechanics that seem to be there simply to make the game unintuitive. Rules like taking the opposite number of a die rolled (which on a d6 is fine but on a d12 or d20 range are a nuisance). In addition, the attitude the book was written in is sarcastic in a sort of insulting way (.."you were too lazy to give a f*ck"). And, the worst bit is that you gain ZERO efficiency from all your years of D&D play, no matter the version to help you absorb these rules. This is a practically a sin given that the main advantage to the OSR movement is that they operate generally in the way a historic game did so you only need to learn the minimal changes. Not so here. You will be learning an entirely new system that no one ask for and that does not seem by a read through to streamline play.
