I hadn't bothered following up on what ot really was - sounds like an interesting game though. Ah I remember how some folks got convinced that the Ethan Haas site was viral for Cloverfield.

I dig the fluff but I haven't got into the mechanics yet. (Also currently reading Cthulhu Tech, ANIMA, and the Legacy of Fire AP books.) The artwork is just great throughout the whole book. The layout is nice looking too. My only complaint is no page numbers. (I understand where they were going in trying to make the book an interface-like experience but a book needs page numbers.) mordicai - I still have my I:TIW. :) I have this and am currently reading it.

Not sure I could justify this purchase, but that is really, REALLY pretty stuff there. That is some beautiful art there.

For example, except at the very lowest skill ranks, you always roll six dice (in various combinations). Like I said, it looks daunting, but all the detail is just extra options you can dig into if you want to. I think we're definitely going to playtest this one, especially since there are some adventures coming out soon/were released recently. There is really an underlying elegance to the system.

But I go in for elegance more than comprehensive rules these days. Still, I'll pick it up & look at it...maybe the raw info in good enough to be worth it? It seems very pretty. I wonder if anybody remembers Immortal: The Invisible War beside me? Photoshop art always makes me think of it. Looks really pretty? But I go in for elegance more than comprehensive rules these days.

That book/system looks both incredibly versatile and terrifyingly complex at the same time. Wow. That book/system looks both incredibly versatile and terrifyingly complex at the same time.
