4.0
Skillfully sketched, immersive world in a slim volume, which is always nice, drawing on both real-world parallels and genre staples to do the lifting and really focus on the delightful characters. When you have a band of guys (soldiers, actors, office employees, whatever) it's very easy for all but the main ones to become a morass, but all the goofy secondary bandit guys have character of their own and help the leads really sparkle. Asks hard questions and doesn't really answer them. Cool martial arts action. Excellent time all around.
