Shadow of the Weird Wizard out on Kickstarter (19 days)

the author Robert J. Schwalb was the lead designer of Dungeons & Dragons 5e (D&D 5e)

History behind Schwalb

Schwalb initially proposed a streamlined system for D&D 5e but was rejected
the streamlined system (character classes, combat etc) became the Demon Lord Engine first published in Shadow of the Demon Lord (SotDL), 2015
SotDL is a horror fantasy tabletop RPG set in a falling world featuring Insanity and Corruption as a game mechanic that gained popularity
not everyone was comfortable with the horror themes and Shadow of the Weird Wizard was created to fill that
