Pros
Pro Very deep world
This is a fantasy version of a warped Europe, mostly aimed around Germany. Very dark, gritty feel to the world with a lot of history.
Pro Visceral combat
Very dangerous combat where it's possible for character death in most encounters. The system includes loss of limbs, diseases, infection, corruption, psychosis, etc...
Pro Very gritty and humours setting
It's the British way to way a pseudo German Holy Empire in a fantasy setting. Full of foul magic, diseases and NPCs with funny names (at least for German readers). In the year of 2022 there is a very active line publisher.
Cons
Con So many ways to end a character
Better take care of wounds, else infection or disease. Avoid dabbling in the works of chaos, else you might mutate. Avoid combat unless there is no other choice, you might loose your limbs or even your head.
