Love this game!
I watched a Youtube play-through of the intro module, which was co-hosted by the game creators- it was fun and informative, and convinced me that this thing was worth getting in print!
At the moment, there seems to be only one U.S. source for the game, which is where I got the dice. While I understand those who dislike custom dice, these are- in my opinion- absolutely worth getting. Also, you have a free dice conversion chart in this quickstart, and a perfectly awesome online dice roller, so THAT problem is no longer there...
This game is fully cooperative, promotes ingenuity and roleplaying, and doesn't seem to take itself too seriously- all green lights for someone like me, who has seen other, lesser game systems make those same claims, only to fall short in one or more ways.
Although I missed both Kickstarters, I am fully on board with Shiver, and will be getting Gothic as soon as I am able.
