Just what I Needed! Now The only real negative would be the text size is a bit small and if there were less full pages of art you could bump the size of the font up, but I have gotten a lot of use out the the game system and (I hate to admit it) I carry this little book EVERYWHERE I go (even to church).

This was a great gem DMG and DM Scotty unearthed. The game is very simple, agile and flexible. I am using it to run a Camp Half-Blood campaign for my kids and they are loving it. I will be using it on Halloween to run PDM's Frankenstein with my group of teenagers. A solid purchase and a fun projects for the Crafterati or even for novices. Everyone loves having their own copy, especially kids.
