It’s funny, as I was quite hyped about this during the Kickstarter. Then I got the big book and deck of cards and just… couldn’t. The system felt flat, compared to previous versions where it felt more integrated with the setting. The setting felt odd and uncomfortable — but not in a challenging way, just in a “this doesn’t quite jell and I’m not sure what the point of it is” way.

So yea… It’s pretty. I’m sure folks will love it. But I just can’t make any of it work or get excited about any of it. It just feels like a creative work where they could have gone in any number of directions and made something awesome, and ended up compromising into a bland middle way that doesn’t quit cohere.
