The process of character creation and simplicity of the mechanics remind me a little of Fiasco, but with a highly unconventional setting and ambitious expectations of the players. I especially like the absence of dice and the numerical being replaced with dialogue and the semantic of the cards.<br /><br />It certainly doesn't sound like everyone's cup of tea. It's hard even to imagine quite how it would play - I think you're right that you'd need the right group. How to keep everyone on the same page, or even in the same library?<br /><br />As for the art, as well as being haunting, it seems now to match the setting very well.<br /><br />All of this will go into the mix and keep my mind busier even than usual.<br /><br />Thanks, Harald. Not only for a review, but for a very good review!Porkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00604351052444947490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8046469008368273193.post-2953666826938544672010-12-25T13:16:17.758-05:002010-12-25T13:16:17.758-05:00Really like the pictures to be honest.
