This zine comes with a bunch of amazing new material to add to your games. Particularly the new material and poison options will enhance your games if you are looking for a more survival and a harsh world to throw your players in. If you like using DCC funnel adventures in OSE, the level 0 rules make conversions much easier; I wish they added more demi-human options for the optional rule, but I think you can easily just add more in manually. The added adventure cumulates all the new material for a fun and memorable one shot. I highly recommend you get this zine !
It was what I expected, but nothing more.
Great old school fun!
Most excellent!
This is an awesome fanzine
