I was checking out at FRP games and suddenly this shiny game flashed into the new releases and began hypnotizing me. Then I noticed the stocking levels were plummeting from "Very Good" to "Low Stock" so I hurriedly ordered it on a whim. Anyone know anything about this game?
First I've heard of it. That website is...well, very pretty. I have to say that if the books are crammed with as much color art as they say and it's all the quality of the stuff on their site then, wow. How much do the rulebooks run?
Unfortunately, there isn't a lot in the FAQ on-site or in the sample character sheets I looked at to really give me a sense of the mechanics of the game, other than that it is d20 based on some level, though the way the stats are organized and ranked remind me of White Wolf games like Vampire: the Masquerade. I'd like to see a page on the site that shows a sampling of actual play, like you find in D&D and Pathfinder, just to get a feel for the mechanics. I left them a note on the site and told them as much.
Flavor-wise, the background is very interesting. On a gut level everything (the write-up, color schemes, background music, etc.) leaves me with a weird feeling of new-ageism...like a Yes album cover, the Avatar movie, or one of those shops where you can buy drums, patchouli oil, and Loreena McKennitt CDs.

Well for 73 bucks apparently I bought a core rulebook and the setting book. Worst case scenario, the art is fantastic and the maps were some of the best I've seen. It looks like it will be exciting to flip through at least.
From what little I gleaned through Google it is a Colombian company and they've been trying to release this game since 2008.
I don't ever go to Gencon, but it looks like they had a booth there at least one of those years.

The way it looks (high quality images with a lot of color) reminds me of the Immortal game of old. It was very beautiful and with a setting chokeful of original ideas (playing Thor is easy, but how about playing Mjolnir ?), but far too complex to play in both rules and background. Hope this will not be the case here
I am looking at this game's site right now & am blown away by how beautiful it looks. I don't know much else about it. Has anyone else bought it or have any advice? Op, what about you?? What did you think??
