Free League Publishing Into The Odd Remastered - RPG Book, Industrial Horror & Cosmic Strangeness, Free League

What a fantastic little book and game system this is. I adore the look of the book, too -- the cover is cloth with raised, shiny details. I highly recommend to any OSR ttrpg enthusiasts!

If you like fast easy rules in an interesting setting, this rpg is for you. The rules are quick and easy, character creation takes 5 minutes to get players right into the action. Plenty of excellent tables for the GM. The setting reminds me of Vance's Dying Earth novels - science and magic blended in a sort of post apocalypse landscape. The book itself is well made, stitch bound with good quality paper. It gives off a relic vibe perfect for the setting found in its pages. Tired of slog and overly complicated rules (that players can't remember anyway), where each player's turn takes 5 minutes to adjudicate? Then get this RPG!

I can never go back to DnD (Old School version or 5th edition) after having discovered Into the Odd and the systems that have sprouted because of it (Cairn, Mausritter, etc!). If you want fast and dangerous combat and quick character creation that feeds the player's imagination, get Into the Odd! Chris and Johan have turned this little booklet into an amazing hardcover edition that is so easy to read and run!

this small book comes at a high cost. 20 to 25 would be a good value.

Disclaimer: This review focuses fully on the book construction and price, NOT the content.To clarify first of all, picture includes Q-Tip for scale.This book really makes me sad. This is supposed to be a core rulebook for a game system, and it's built like a 1986 version of Little Women you'd get at the school library.This book has 120 pages or so, and you're supposed to use it as a rulebook for games, but it feels like it's going to fall apart if opened it 10 or 20 times per week for a few months of running a game.This would all be completely fine and understandable, except that this terribly executed abomination cost me 40 freaking dollars, when in reality this is a 25 dollar item, AT BEST.Considering the shoddy craftsmanship, the small size, and the lack of quality paper and carboard included in construction, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND NOT BUYING THIS OBVIOUS RIP OFF.Honestly,Shame on you, Chris McDowall and Johan Nohr, you could have made a proper book, but you gave us this. Be better.

A little too rules lite and lacking enough information to breathe life into its concept of industrial horror and cosmic strangeness. Leaving the GM to fill out the details of how the world actually works and whats so horrible about it.
