So many fiddly bits… Now comes the important thing: is it fun to play?

I can't tell you, yet. As soon as I had the change to read the rules or playtest it, I'll write a post about it.

My thoughts as I watched the video…

Love the lettering on the title credits!

That’s huge! So that’s how you pull it out…

Pretty…

(Out of context those few lines sound REALLY inappropriate)

Let’s toss aside that promotional pamphlet!

The books look pretty. Are those soft cover books resistant? I always fear how soft covers fare during actual game play.

The cats seem to approve…

Interesting stand ups, different form the usual full body images, I think it works and may give the suggestion of less tactical and more narrative combat (and that opinions is based solely on the video I know nothing of the way combat works but look forward to learning more, hint, hint!)

The cards are nice, I actually liked in 4th edition that powers and effect are on cards to reduce looking up, but I’m leery of the custom dice. It may be unfounded but that was my gut reaction (sorry!). Ok critical on cards are nice, I’ve used the ones b Paizo for Pathfinder.

The boxes are nice if superfluous! Again the cat weighs in on the boxes.

CAT CAMEO!

Looking forward to the review…

Sorry if that came across as a little opinionated… The game at least looks AWSOME!

Thanks for this look inside the box. I've been intrigued by this game. I haven't yet made the investment, though, as I'm not sure if the rest of my group would be interested.
