It's such a nice feeling when you see something that makes you suck the air in through your teeth and proclaim "COOL!".
If digital publishing was made for anything at all, then clearly it was for this book and the way it responds to you interacting with it. Each part of the HMTW (HMtW!?!) project is a lovely crafted jewel that looks like it will fit together with the others to make an arcane pocket-watch of uncanny beauty.
"We've caught a harpy, which bit do we make the potion with?".
"Not sure; which bit do you want to try first?"
"It's ...erm... ear?"
"On you go then, here's the alembic..."
"And you'll try another bit if it doesn't work?"
"Oh, yeah, definitely, I'll do that, yeah, no question, if it doesn't work... yeah..."
Grabbed this after seeing you talk about The Squiggly Thing and the Easter Eggs on twitter, and then realizing there was a "what pokemon tastes best" aspect to it.
This is the most delightful bestiary I've ever read, from the meta-interactive nature to the refreshing take on crafting. Counting down the indeterminate days until His Majesty the Worm drops.
I'm just glad someone had the moral courage to ask the hard questions, like "does a cockatrice go well with tomatoes" and "what creature could produce both buffalo wings and a steak in one harvest"
