After reading it, I imagined a group of friends were together one evening and wanted to roleplay, but they did not have their rule books and did not want to be weighed down with a lot of runway to get to a game. Pure speculation, but it has that feel that players can pick it up fast and be gaming in minutes. The book is only 46 pages. 46. I do not have a source book on my self that is that short, and while the brevity speaks to a rules light devotion that does not mean that the system is not well thought out or complete.

Party First Review on Black Gate Magazine.
Player and GMs get a lot for 46 pages, and the book is only $4.99 digital, though you can get the digital with a print version for only $9.99. The book is not full of art (which is expensive produce), but it is nicely designed. It is also largely error free. The creators took care in both the design of the system and in putting into a form for the larger world, and that shows.
