Based on Maze Rats by Ben Milton. I can get behind that.
It is also only 6 dollars.
At first it sounded like it was another Fantasy setting (the title doesn't help), but it is apparently generic for any setting?
After praising all of that, I'm not interested enough to want to buy it. I don't see the appeal why it is better than any other game, many of which are free.
Thanks for your reply.
Yes, it is a chassis to run fantasy, acid fantasy, or you can even run science fiction stuff with it. It was originally going to be a d6 hack of Crimson Dragon Slayer but it morphed into its own thing.
Obsidian Dragon Slayer provides a basis to run games without needed much else and the characters are more defined by callings and equipment. I also went with equipment packages and an more freeform equipment style to curve all of the boring shopping. It was also was professionally laid out and art was commissioned for it.
Today, the POD went live!

Any relation to Crimson Dragon Slayer?
Similarity in names can cause confusion in the marketplace that is bad for both games.
