We've bought the PDF version, and I like what I've seen so far. We'll let you know if we incorporate it into the game.

Faeries is put together very nicely. I like how the flavor text and background information are written, and it seems well balanced mechanically also. Thanks for the recommendation!

Thanks for keeping us posted, Bitter Thorn & Gwyndar! It sounds like an interesting campaign!
IIRC, there's errata online for Faeries. I'm thinking at Bastion's site.... |
