This is a fantastic game. Which you knew was what i thought already since only the Kickstarters have access to the actual game yet. So lets get in to the Meat of the review.

There are a large number of pro's that this adaptation of clasical D&D has. For one, the cast. Dogs are lovable creatures on their own, I've met a lot of people and very few of them actively dislike dogs which lends this game a charm all its own. The lore is friendly but hints at significant backstory that is at once explicit but also very vague. Similar to the Star Wars franchise it presents a very clear and concise view of part of the world and encourages you to fill in all the rest so long as you follow a few simple rules.

The mechanics are somewhat unique, the still feel familar couched in a very typical D&D system borrowing elements from Pathfinder and current elements of 5th Ed. There is a lack of magic in the game relative to other systems I've played. In Pathfinder everyone but the rogue has access to spells of some quality and type at some point. In this game you only have 2 "caster" classes, the Shepard and the Artisan. While this does mean that there will be fewer spells flying around that doesn't detract from the setting it's just something different that some people will have to get used to.

Honestly I haven't put enough time into the game to start noticing detracting factors. The equipment sections is a little sparse but this being a beta of the game i'm reviewing it's not that bad and it can be supplimented by other D&D equipment lists with a little common sense. Overall it's a fantastic game and i can't wait to get the table back together to try it out more thoughouly
