Review: Beyond the Wall

Because I'm a super-brilliant genius, I seem to have erased this really long review I wrote this morning.

So, the $0.02 version: It's good! Don't let the desktop-publishing aesthetic keep your from spending eight bucks on it. There's some really great innovations here that are built of a clean, simple D&D core.

Namely:
  1. Character Generation that also generates character history and setting locations and NPCs!
  2. Nearly no-prep scenarios that provide structured improvisation off all that stuff from chargen!
  3. Fun, flexible magic that doesn't wreck the game!
I can't wait to play it!

EDIT: I've updated the layout to fix errata and make a few tweaks. Further, I've made 3 variations: KNAVES TABLET LAYOUT The Tablet Layout is meant for scrolling on screens, and contains hyperlinks. KNAVES SPREAD LAYOUT The Spread Layout is set up to print on Letter-sized paper. KNAVES A4 LAYOUT The A4 Layout is set up to print on A4 paper, and is probably the most elegant of the three versions. This is presented with generous permission from Ben Milton, and should in no way be an excuse for not purchasing a copy of Knav...
