what a great little ttrpg! it reels you in with all the amazing art of the little critters you can play as, but deep down it's such a complex game that has this rich lore infused with socioeconomic politics. i love how modular the game can be where you can set it up for longer campaigns or quick one-shots as well as allowing players to adapt and evolve their characters as a campaign goes on. i'm completely new to the pbta game system, so i appreciated just how detailed this core book got into explaining how all the mechanics worked! the information was laid out in such an intuitive manner that made it easy to flip back and forth as i gm'ed a one-shot!
