This is a beautiful book with engaging artwork and design layout. The game mechanics are intriguing and fun and the amount of random tables plucks at my OSR heart strings. It is great to see a RPG that focuses on whimsy and fun. It's tag line of Lord of the Rings meets the Muppets grabbed my attention and all I could think as I read it was if the movie Labyrinth was going to be a TTRPG this is the system it would use.
