Why you should check this out: a simple set of base and downtime mechanics that offer depth and interesting abilities
Style: a clean and consistent layout with running headers that signpost where you are. I like the simplicity but effectiveness of the cover.
Structure: there is a clear distinction between flavour and content using inverted colours. Headings are used effectively to break down the content. A 1-page overview gives useful context before diving into the types of bases.
Content: the mechanics are well-written and concise, but with enough flavour and variety to create interesting bases. The mechanics feel like they offer depth without adding too much complexity.
