NOTE: This is a Table Top RPG game reference book filled with articles mostly from Game Masters, and geared towards the Old School Renaissance style of play (although a lot of it is inspiring for other TTRPGS as well) - I mostly do Fiction reviews so I figured it would probably be a good idea to point that out.
Okay, so I found this to be really inspiring and useful. I loved pretty much all of the ideas except on article had some ideas that I wasn't a fan of. I did start skim reading towards the end as I'm not much for reading a ton of stats or 100s of roll table options but I did read a good chuck of those things so that I could still get ideas.
I will for sure reference this book in the future for inspiration and I am excited to check out the rest of the books in the series!

There are a few gems but they're spread among quite a lot of fairly mediocre content. The essays are generally the best content and the random tables frequently among the least interesting.
Some of my personal favourite entries include:
What I Want In An OSR Game (Brooke Dailey, pg 8)
Get Your Gear (Good-deal Nobboc, pg 25)
Naming My Game (Ben Milton, pg 48)
Duels (Emmy Allen, pg 78)
It's A Trap! To Roll Or Not To Roll? (Vagabundork, pg 92)
Just Use Bears (Jack Shear, pg 144)
