Cool stuff. I just went down a rabbit hole looking at Oz stuff after seeing this post. I had no idea that there was so much out there...and only the vaguest concept that a good portion of the material was in the public domain. Good luck with this.

It's a big world and my biggest marketing challenge is getting people to see that rather than some land where everybody sings about the things they're missing.
I missed this when it first came out but ordered the hardcopy today after seeing the PDF up for sale. I think it will make a good christmas present for one of my kids. Just need to figure out which one now. :)
If I had any supplements, I'd say get the core for one and the supplement for the other. That way, they'd have to cooperate to play.
Since I don't, get the other kids Oz books. I recommend the Books of Wonder editions, which are faithful reproductions of the original books. Avoid Lulu for Oz. A lot of people there are trying to make a buck off of the Gutenberg e-texts.

I have four kids (10-14). The oldest is swiftly reading through the Oz books right now, at least the copies I have so he's in the lead for getting this particular present at the moment as I think he is currently the one most likely to talk the others into playing a game of it, but December is still two months away and all four are avid readers, so we'll see.
If I get a chance to read it before wrapping it, I'll do a review, if not you'll probably have to wait until January for it.
Just got the game reviewed on RPG.Net
