Okay, I& #39;m reading a bit of #SinaUna. Full thoughts will be in this thread, probably intermittently because I have a busy day.

"Tell me a story" is probably one of the most profound things I& #39;ve read in a ttrpg rule book. I didn& #39;t expect to feel things in the first ten pages.
...the food section makes me hungry...
There are a couple of typos, which isn& #39;t out of the ordinary for an indie publication. Not at an egregious frequency.
The layout is TOP-NOTCH. This book feels luxurious even in PDF form and I& #39;m slightly wishing for a physical copy.

That two-page spread at the beginning of Chapter 2? Wow. WOW. Detailed, stunning, and just stylized enough that I could run an adventure from the picture alone.
This is so rich. A waterfall with no source that people sail through as an act of prayer? A volcanic crocodile god? A tree that connects the mortal world to the world of the dead? I LOVE IT. SO MUCH. It& #39;s a joy to just read.
OH THOSE TWO PAGE SPREADS ARE FOR EACH ISLAND???

MANGROVE HALFLINGS!!
Ahem. Cognizant thoughts. I never mentioned where you can get this, which I believe for non-Kickstarter-backers is here: https://thedeckofmany.com/collections/sina-una">https://thedeckofmany.com/collectio...

It& #39;s worth noting that this setting openly subverts a few core D&D things. Resurrection magic/necromancy of any kind are seen as deeply unnatural, for example, because it defies the natural order of things. You& #39;re not an outsider, respect of others is key. No murderhobos here.
TWO PAGE LION ART.
Honestly, I was so engrossed in the lore that reading a mechanic-bit in a sidebar kind of threw me. Like "right, I& #39;m not just reading a book, this is a TTRPG thing".

They& #39;re good about pronunciation, but I& #39;d have liked a sentence on emphasis. Knowing the vowel sounds is helpful, but Himpapariwan is a very long word and I& #39;m not sure where the stress falls, if anywhere. I know there& #39;s more on language later, we will see.
I know I keep screaming about the art, but this is seriously one of the most beautiful RPG sourcebooks I& #39;ve ever seen. I keep stopping reading just to stare at these islands.
Okay, I gotta go do other things, but from the first hundred pages or so:
This is something truly special. I& #39;m so happy I backed it and I can unreservedly recommend getting your own copy.
