God I love Into the Odd so much. It's so simple and streamlined and it's hard to go back to other systems after experiencing Into the Odd and its adjacent games. The way Chris Mcdowall layouts his dungeon formats is also incredibly inspiring and instructional for my work. Like you said, the multi-layered hex map and dungeons included are fantastic. Also, I agree - those character creation tables are so good and are really expanded on in Electric Bastionland! I do prefer the industrial horror aspect of Into the Odd though.
do you know if there is a PDF or other Digital version out there to purchase? Don't get me wrong i like physical books, but as someone who suffers from Dyslexia I tend to buy things digitally so i can have my computer read it to me. I looked on the site and didn't see anything so i'm going to assume not, but i figured i'd ask in case someone knew of one!

Free League publishing just doesn't miss!
This game is cited as such an inspiration for so many other games, thanks for your thoughts on it!
I haven’t had a chance to play or run it yet, but I absolutely adore the book. Thanks for the review!
Big fan of Electric Bastionland would be interested to see your thoughts on it.
