Picked the first volume of this bad boy up last weekend during Comic Con in Chicago. Quite a bit to it, really interesting system I've never used before (a modified version of the FUDGE system apparently). It's set up for a collaborative creation of the settings and characters, which is mostly really cool sounding. I also like the rather free form powers/character creation they have, and they also put a pretty good mechanic in which actually makes it viable to play a regular human alongside a full blown wizard or Knight of the Cross or what have you.

If anyone's snatched it up or maybe even started a game, I'd like your impressions; same if anyone is familiar with how well the FUDGE system works in practice.

Well, to follow up, we're starting a game this Sunday. I'll post updates on how it plays.
