Great book for adventure crafting. Ben Milton has proven himself with years of development to craft this book and it’s a pleasure to apply its tables when creating an adventure for your PCs.

Brilliant game and a must have for the tables alone. For fans of the OSR who want fast play and not spending time on spreadsheets, this game is wonderful. The classless system makes character creation take less time than any game I have played since version one. So much in such a short book.

A book that should honestly be the bar for making a new TTRPG system. with the TTRPG scene being so oversaturated with overly complex books with dictionary worth of words that dont actually help with running a game. Knave 2e is a simple game that can have your players up and ready to play in as little as 10 mins their first time, with the vital rules condensed down into 2 pages you can print out and give to your party.

the layout is easy to read, and absolutely chock full of useful tables not just for Knave but for any Fantasy game, honestly grab it, print it out and chuck it in with your GM kit no matter what system you're running.

Fantastic toolbox for creating grounded fantasy characters in a dangerous world. TONS of random tables useful not just for Knave but for anything else you're running so it's not a bad purchase just for those.

Only downside is there isn't much in the way of guidance for handing out loot. You can do the math based on returned gold for experience, but a bit on general guidance would have been nice.

Otherwise, a great book! Inventory-based characters that are adaptable is a fun take on the dungeon-crawling exploration genre.

As a newcomer to the OSR style of play I appreciate Ben’s flair for simplifying game mechanics. Also this os more than worth the purchase for random tables alone which can be user with any other fantasy system. Highly recommended.

So, if you loved original Knave, this is more than twice as Knave-y, and just delivers much more around the whole concept.

If you love random tables, this is packed with useful ones I know I will use in my own game on the fly.

And that’s something I want to highlight, is that I don’t run knave as a ruleset. I play Black Hack (one of the listed inspirations) but Knave is such a pure, focused, and simple set of rules that you can swipe and use th bits you like for pretty much any “old school” game where the rules are a toolkit for adventure gameplay.

That’s what I was already using knave and maze rats for, and how I will use this too - especially all the tables, probably the alchemy system, and even more on a re-read I am sure.

Very glad this is finally out and available.

Compared to other games of similar size, the price for a PDF does feel high to me, even after checking it out. It feels like it should be cheaper. That’s my only gripe. For the amount of the book that is made of tables - the curation and assembly is handy. But they are tables, and not altogether unique tables that aren’t pretty similar to other tables elsewhere for cheaper.

But I have definitely spent more on things I liked less, and I feel like I will end up getting sufficient use out of this material that I will end up getting more than my money’s worth, because I run a lot of games.

Kudos on the upgraded/expanded edition. A very good product that is useful and dense and usable at my table for sure.
