Weird, I remember it being PWYW when I purchased it!

Everything it says is true:)!
-an RPG and sandbox toolkit for old-school-style adventuring!
-A single, compact page of rules (2d6 based), a one-page character creation guide, 2 pages of GMing advice that's better than in many heftier games, and pages of random item tables!
-Each page contains 9-12 tables, covering spell generation, monster generation, NPCs, treasures, cities, wildernesses, and dungeons!
-Great for open sandbox!
-Highly lethal, caution is essential to long-term survival
-classless, but you kinda have to specialize to get all the benefits.
-Magic is simple and chaotic, with new randomly-generated spells filling the magic-user's head each night.
-clean, fast, and intuitive, rewarding creative solutions.

What more can you want;)?
One more thing - maybe it's just me, but I find the random tables are really useful.

Quote from: Christopher Brady;1041755Thing is, some people don't see it as a business, but rather a hobby, and if they can cover costs, or just share, that's good enough for them.  And let's face it, if you can make a profit, even if it's just the equivalent to pennies, you're one up on most of this industry.

Yes, that's true. I'm incredibly lucky in that I make enough from the things I like doing that I don't have to have a 'real' job. And RPGs now makes up a very significant percentage of that income.
