Really like this game system (especially the currency - or lack there of, rather). It's an easy base to work off of with a fun world to play around with. The group I'm GM-ing is house ruling it in a big way, which is the way it usually goes when I'm in charge, and this source material left a lot of room for that.
The things I felt were missing were examples of poisons and diseases, as well as a shorter overview of the general rules. As things are now you have to read each and every skill and arcana to get a full grip on the basic rules. Reading every single one of those took quiet some time, so a screen with all the tables and the basic rules would have been a way to get the game going quicker.
But that's mostly a complaint from me as GM/Narrator. My players had no trouble getting their characters together and they're both new to rpging. In short, good starter game that can be made more complicated for the more experienced players. Also, it's a big wish fullfilment game - you can become BFFs with unicorns and there are pet cats with wings. I am not complaining about this, this is a good thing.
