I'm still getting a good read through this PDF, & the main reason for that being that so much of it is difficult to read. Much of the vital information is written in very tiny, very thin, very pale grey serif fonts that blend in with the beige background. It's definitely a stylistic choice, but a stylistic choice that sacrifices accessibility to achieve that style.

There is, however, the occasional color coding in the PDF that can help make certain points stand out very clearly. I hope more of that is seen in future updates to this game, as it really has a lot of interesting takes on mechanics I haven't seen anywhere else in the heroic fantasy genre.

I love the story-focused tools in this game. I prefer Sci-Fi games, but the tools and and story guidelines are mostly quite adaptable.

If you enjoy RPGs that favor story over mechanics this is a must get. I just backed the full version on late backerkit.

Grimwild hits the perfect level of collaborative play to co-create an emergent D&D styled fantasy story. Elements of the Moxie system with dice and thorns, Spark & moves (narrative/suspense/impact) and the Crucibles are all a streamlined package as a GM masterclass of how to run fiction-first systems.

So excited to play the full version of this system! The creator is very active on Discord and so open about the game-design process.
