Looks really cool. I may pick that up, at least for ideas, though I think the idea of Specialists is... well, I don't think it's necessary in the slightest little bit.
Still looks cool, though.
Anyone have any idea if this was made by a member of here or Trollhalla?

Hmm... I'd love to review it if TrollsZine will buy my copy... LOLz. Just kidding.

Interesting , i wonder what an ingenous inventor is like - does he make naive contraptions? Sligo i will offer you triple my salary as editor for every contribution you make  |

Just bought it myself, a nice little piece of work. He quotes having permission from Rick Loomis, even though the 'specialists' in this case fit with the 7e rules more than the 5e - though its an easy enough ret con. I would (and have for TrollsZine) get Rick and Ken on board just to make sure
Most of the pages and love go to devices for the 'Tinker' , but all the specialists are neat and look balanced to me. Nice that you can say pretty much everything you need to about a character class in one page for T&T.

Sounds very good Zanshin. I guess a specialist is someone who rolled triples during character generation? If so, it's not immediately that useful but nice to have.

Rolls triples and has a total in that attribute of 15 or more, as I recall.

mahrundl is sppot on.
I think the specialists in this book are actually better balanced than the Ranger and the Leader, and more interesting as well. Not to dis Ken, he is a great enthusiast and writer, but mechanical game solutions/systems are not his thing so much.
I like them - i could see them being used by me, in solo play if nothing else.
