Stop reading reivews and buy it. If you're a fan of the boardgame, they took the vanilla fantasy and turned it into a unique little world that is both easy to dive into and has plenty of room for your own special story elements. The mechanics are infuriatingly good--simple, quick, but with plenty of detail from a single roll. It's a new classic--this could easily be the next big game for a group. Very professional, very stylish, and ready for whatever kind of game you want to run.
