I was just trying to see what shipping to Australia would be on the physical zine, if it was even offered, and it seems that instead of showing me shipping options prior to checkout out the system just went straight ahead and purchased it. So that could be a little clearer. Haha.
Page 8, testing piety says to roll d6 and add your piety score. I think saying "roll a d6" might make it clear it would be a single d6 rolled?
I'm surprised that all characters are restricted to non-edged weapons given the inspirations listed and the included preview pages don't make that clear. Perhaps adding a definition of what a Hammer is to the starting page might be helpful?
The game looks cool though and I'm interested to take it for a spin. I love the moody grim witch hunter feel, and the strength of a Hammers piety being their defining trait feels very Solomon Kane, which is of course awesome!
Hello! I ran this last night in the basement of our games shop and wrote up an AAR and some playtest notes. TLDR: interesting approach and I love the restrained focus of what you're going for, but needs a bit of work to make full sense of kind of experience it should be, and why a DM wouldn't just use OD&D. I hope there's some useful feedback in the article:

Just received my hard copy. Very nice. Great formatting, and looks like it’ll be fun to play!
A neat bookbinding video made by the talented Chaoclypse!
Any details regarding mechanics, or better yet, a preview of some kind?
Added some screenshots of the interior of the booklet, showing off some of the ins and outs of HAMMERS
Thanks! Looks good, so will probably pick this one up.
