I recently discovered your work through Twitter and I gotta say, I'm very much impressed. The appendixes are really well put together and I'm very tempted to use them in my own homebrew world. On that regard, one question I want to ask about HMTW is how "homebrew-able" is it? Can I, for example, add other spells to the ones you already implemented or is there some sort of game balance that I may break?

Thanks for the kind words!
Not only do I think it’s homebrewable, but I argue that it’s an essential part of playing any RPG. I show my notes through designer commentary in the text about how you can and should make the game your own. I want you to homebrew it, and I’m excited to see what you make!

I very much appreciated this question, and wanted to share this example of what I meant when I said that I try to provide advice for you to make your own content and how
The gimmick isn’t “Here are the official dungeons and maps and creatures and spells.” It’s “Hey, here are some dungeons, maps, creatures, and spells to get you started. Here’s why they’re made the way they are. You should make your own, too.”
