I wasn't involved in the Alpha and Beta Testing, but I kept abreast to what info was out in public, and listen eagerly, to those inside sources, to what they permitted themselce to say.
But I saw the finished the product, I saw it first, at a airport, while I was on my way to Gen Con. someone had a copy with them, so I surveyed sparingly through some pages.
I liked very much to what I saw...
Then at Gen Con 2009, I bought my own (x2), and again, I scanned sparingly. Then at home later, I read...50 percent.
Everyone at Pazio, have done an EXCELLENT job, staff, outside consultants and testers.
