The solo Thursday's Child

This is a new add-on for Vaesen. Did anybody bought it already?

I am really curious to know if this is the start of a recognition of a market niche of solo players.

Reading quickly through it:

They added a card game as randomness generator.
They rely on the tables on the pages, 166, 167, 188, 190, and 192.
There are new random tables for mental state of an NPC, mystery direction, keywords, clues,
Some good table that could have been in the core rule book with vaesen sorted by clues, misdeed, and environment.
A lot of examples of journal entries

I think I like it. I didn't read in details.

There are kind of three parts or type of content in it: how to move forward with the mystery with oracle tables when support is needed, how to write a journal and examples, how to make sense of the clues to understand which vaesen is around.

Free League, IMHO, is the only large publisher going out of its way to include or add robust solo systems. I mean, just look who they hire to create these systems.
