Style: 4/5. It's beautiful. The front and back cover are a nice touch, worth highlighting, but there's nothing here that feels missing. Perhaps the example mission could have been split over more pages? The sheer density of information on those two pages is enormous, which feels egregious with the 2-pages of art dedicated to splitting out the compendium.

Substance: 5/5. It's got everything; A mission, a huge pile of traits, a bunch of NPCs and a boss, collectibles. Incredible work.

This is the prettiest entry I've see thus far, which considering I've seen some excellent photo manipulation to make creatures that look like they belong in Cy_Borg, is saying something. The layout here is excellent and fits what it is collection of traits, NPCs and items inspired by fairytales along with an adventure because why the hell not? Of note my favourite NPC is the wicked witch, which as befitting a Boss has a nice full colour image, while my favourite trait has to be Troll; I'm imagining comedy coming from that trait and some hapless NPC guard. The adventure bundled with the collection is a nice little jaunt into a fae realm with a high chance of unforeseen consequences for the real world because players shall be players and bring something dangerous back with them, just as sure as CYCLOPS will be ethically bankrupt. I'm struggling to say anything other than Grim Collection is awesome because, well, its awesome.

Pitch perfect module layout, would love to see more example adventures or even a campaign in this setting in the future.

absolutely adore the presentation of this work. as a person who grew up with a lot of fairy tales its nostalgic but also fresh in a very FIST way
