BLUF: I really like this RPG. I get a strong SWADE feel from it, but much lighter in feel. I had been considering migrating our current setting over to SWADE, but I think we will be using Eyes Beyond the Torchlight now, especially considering the availability of the SRD as well.
The only issue I personally have with it, is that the rules are approx 218 and could have been 2/3-1/2 that. Much of the basics are repeated several times throughout the beginning of the document. For example; the basic mechanic is mention thoroughly in the Introduction, Basic Rules and Combat Rules. Much of this, in my opinion, could have been consolidated.
Over all, I feel this will be a dynamic, easy to run and prep, rules light system that has a lot to offer. Well worth the sub $10 price as of this review.
