I love the concept of Weirdhope contrasted against Grimdark (not that there's anything wrong w/GD). I think it's sorely needed by a lot of ppl today.
The mechanics are simple, based on Mark of the Odd system, it barely takes up a spread to summarize. The tables for generating content is EXTENSIVE. I don't even need to do prep - David Blandy you have valued my time as a GM/person lol.
Lastly, the setting of the seas takes the great Eco Mofos!! ethos to the ocean's, and as a GM I love sea-faring settings. There's so much potential. I hope everyone checks this out and gets the full release next year.
As ppl say in your country: "I say, good show!"
