I have the paperback version of this game. Although not designed to be a solo rpg, it works really well in that capacity. The random charts are fun and flavorful. I do have some complaints about typos, typesetting and general editing though. I just wish more care was taken with the text.

Right on. I didn't mean to sound negative in my review. I actually like the game quite a bit. It's a great engine for solo play and it's pretty much compatible with a slew of other OSR stuff. I also really like the premise of Rangers policing the wild. Which is why I think it could be awesome with a little editing. Most of my issues come from what I believe is typesetting issues. That's an easy enough fix. Since you'll be cleaning it up at some point, I have really nit-picky pet peeve found on page 51, with the quote "That strange man, Lorcan, he arrived not but four days hence." Hence means, "as a consequence or in the future." So the woman's quote sounds old-timey but the word not used correctly. Of course, it's always possible that the woman, in character, is misusing the word. :) Again, I know it sounds like I'm complaining, but I really do think you've got a cool system on your hands. I wish you the best with all future endeavors.
