- Initially I felt it was pretentiously arty.
- In the end I love it - it does a great job of syncing presentation, content and setting.
- Loads of random tables which back up the feel of the setting.
- Mechanic for bringing on the end of the world.
- Rules-wise it's a very slimmed down d20 system with metagame 'omens'.
- Players (almost) always roll.
- DC 12 is standard, only modified in the case of especially strong/weak opponents.
- Simple and deadly crit and fumble mechanics.
- Omens allow rerolls, damage reduction, max damage etc.
- Options to play classless or with very flavourful classes (Fanged Deserter, Heretical Priest).
- The included adventure Rotblack Sludge is a fascinating compact starter dungeon.
- The website has loads of free content, including a character generator.
- Pretty good sheets on Roll20.
