omnis, I've played it. It's pretty fun and challenging but very repetitive. It doesn't ever seem to realize its full potential.

Also, Omnis, it may cause motion sickness. It's first person perspective and the character done a lot of acrobatic leaps and rolls.
Search on Kotaku or YouTube. You'll find plenty of video.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
What kind of store has this in stock? Does it come with the book, or is that a separate purchase? Is the book needed?
It should be available in games stores. It's also available through online distributors, such as Amazon (don't forget to use the Buffista link) or Thought Hammer Games [link] The rule book comes with the game. There are also some useful files (game summaries, player aids, that kind of thing) here: [link]

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
I tried the demo from xbox live. Took forever to d/l. Cool game, horrible controls. If I see it used at the store for cheap, maybe.

Holy cow! On a lark, I entered a brute who has wolf and dog, but low level. SHE WENT 4 ROUNDS!
4 vs 8, 4 vs 7, 4 vs 9, and lost to a level 7 who netted the wolf and flailed the hell out of me.
Not bad for a gal with no weapons and low hit points!

I'd like to get started on the BSG game. I have four names, and three email addresses. Raq, could you send me your email address, and let me know if your husband is in for a game too? If someone else wants to join too, let me know and send me your email address. (My address is in my profile.) I'll then randomise a turn order and we can get started picking characters.
