Did Robin have input in the OtE mechanics, though? I know he wrote a supplement, but I wasn't aware that he'd worked on the core book.

<b>Great review, though. This book debuted at Gencon last year and my wife and I got into a demo game, but the GM so utterly and completely butchered everything about it (including the basic resolution mechanic, which he was unable to explain), that we left early with a bad taste in our mouth.

I didn't get a chance to look at the book thoroughly, but I remember at the time that what impressed me most about the book... it was just absolutely gorgeous as far as layout, artwork, quotes, and source material. I knew there had to be a decent game in there somewhere, and I appreciate the level of detail you went into to explain the mechanics and how they playtested.</b>

Thanks, Darrin! I'm glad that came across. This was definitely the most extensively-playtested game I've reviewed thus far.
