I just read through Blood and Bone and thought I would give my first impressions

Pros:

• The book is small, easily read, and beautifully illustrated. The tone and graphic design are perfectly matched.
• The setting is very interesting and there are some really smart and unique mechanics such as armor and apothecary.
• The character creation mechanics are solid and varied.
• There are some nice variant mechanics that offer new ways to play the game.

Cons:

• The editing and proofreading are pretty bad. There are numerous typos, editing inconsitincies, and mismatched page numbers. Lists (like Traits) are not alphabetized.
• Character progression is pretty limited and Traits take up the bulk of character progression and makes it feel a little bland.
• The skills selection is very meager, with Strength only having one skill (and it's shared with Dexterity). The Savage Worlds-esque step dice also don't win me over.
• Alacrity is a horrible name for initiative.
• The NPC examples are not actually text but images, at a terrible quality, and it makes them unsearchable. They also have a "CMW" stat I couldn't find explained anywhere in the book.
• The game is explained as having no magic, but there is the Blooded ability which functions like a school of magic. There is no explanation of how it's different from magic.
