"BRUTAL is far from just a name. It's an ethos that David has carried throughout this gorey, wicked and belligerent fantasy roleplaying game. If performing acts of violence without hesitation to NPCs or PCs is your desire, then Brutal will satiate your thirst in several dimensions. Its roots are set deep in war game clay but unashamedly draws strength from this solid base, rather than dressing itself up in hokey modern ideas."

"It's a great game. Exactly what a rules-lite, combat heavy miniatures game should be. Fun, fast and furious! Definitely what I'd use to play a Dungeon Reality Show based off of Blood Bowl. It also has great art because the creator, David J. Stanley, doesn't want it to look like ass. So, he pays a lot of money commissioning talented artists to make art for his free game."

"The blood flows quickly and the deaths pile up, and the result is a game that is a blast to play. I can give a game no higher praise."

"I wanted to take a moment to thank you for pointing me in the direction of your roleplaying/combat game: BRUTAL: Big Bad Ball Busting Bloody Battles. You’ve truly put together a quality product. While I haven’t had the opportunity to take it out for a test drive, it looks great. Presentation and Error-free editing means a lot. People pay a lot of money for books that are sloppily put together and poorly edited, but you’re giving away a product that looks better than a lot of the stuff people pay for. I wish you success in getting Brutal out of your house and onto the tables of gamers everywhere."
