Would have been nice to point out that this is NOT the same book as the original Core book that uses Fuzion as the game machanic. This system is horrible and has huge gaps in the 202 pdf where they cut out sections. I wanted the original Shards of the Stone PDF with the Fuzion system for this great setting as I have the hard copy of the book. Very disapointed.

Very interseting game with unique settings. The world has an online presence, and GM's are encouraged to place their "shard world" there by "claiming" a world/name from it. The artwork is good too. Oh, the drawback; it's unplayable. The system couldn't possibly been playtested. The core mechanic: roll a die type, get under a number. Stats are rated in die types...the higher the better (so a STR of d6 isn't as good as a STR of d12). ??? Yes, that means that if the target number is 7, you have to roll 7 or under. The guy with a d6 STR will always make it, but the stronger guy with a d12 str will fail about half the time. I did say it was unplayable, didn't I? Gods, who have d100 dice, have a harder time succeeding at anything simple...but the more difficult the better it is for them. So a STR check with a 'target number' of 80 would be impossible for pretty much anyone but a god, who has an 80% chace of success. But for simple things, say a TN 4), the god only has a 4% chance of succeeding. ?!?!? Bizarre system that just plain doesn't work.

If you are a rules tweeker, you might be able to salvage it, but the system is based aroudn this game mechanic, so good luck! ...At least its all in actual text though. :)
