Review: Root Quickstart

## Spark

Finished in the 2026-09-12 digest check-in. Read alongside the Root RPG Core Book (still active) and the Clearing Booklet (#570).

## Why it could be interesting

A quickstart is a teaching artifact, not a game — the review question is whether it gets a table playing Root's asymmetric-faction premise without the core book, and what it chose to leave out to do that.

## Open questions

- [ ] Recommend it or not, and to whom — someone new to Root, or someone new to tabletop roleplaying entirely?
- [ ] Was it actually run at a table, or read? Changes what the review can claim.
- [ ] How it reads against the Core Book and the Clearing Booklet — three Root documents in flight, and the reviews shouldn't repeat each other.
