Honestly one of the best micro-rpg manuals I have ever read. Straight to the point but contains enough subtle details to still retain personality and a cool grim-dark mood. Awesome work man, bravo 👏 👏
Wow, thank you so much! I really appreciate that and I'm so happy you enjoyed it. This was actually my very first TTRPG idea, so I ended up reworking it probably way too many times. I was worried it had lost its spark, so I'm really glad it still shone through. I'm currently developing a full RPG system/game world called Sorceria which takes a lot of Shortsword's ideas and greatly expands on them, so please look forward to it! :)
