I REALLY want to get my hands on this game. I love Marin's characters and world, my friend Matt says the game is brilliant, and all the reviews of it are good, too. I'm a bit turned off by the D20 aspect, but I still want to see how it works; its nearly five pounds, so there is a LOT in this sucker. Of course, the nearly $100 price tag is as lot as well. Thus, the "to-read" shelf.
Beautiful artwork, generous content and a fairly workmanship implementation of the D20 system with rules for political backstabbing. Sadly it only covers the first volume, later sourcebooks would have covered the new material. That said Green Ronin's sourcebooks could easily be adapted to this system if you prefer it.
This is kind of a weird book, as it starts out as a really thorough primer on RPGs and fantasy fiction in general (I kid you not, there is an entire essay on the development of the fantasy genre,) before turning into a rule book. As a rule book, it's about as good as the d20 system would allow anything to be, so I've pretty much just skimmed through, having a greater fondness for d10 Roll & Keep, GURPS and the Cortex systems. It's honestly pretty hard to judge this book before the Song of Ice an...
Possibly the best OGL D20 product ever based on a fantasy series.
