This game absolutely rules! Great system, great setting, great ideas. I especially like the Domain mechanics. Really recommended! Great to play and better to run. If you want a new and original science fantasy game Eternus is for you!

That said while the game itself is a 5 star game, I can't give the product itself 5 stars because the layout could use a bit of work. I found it hard to get into the game when there weren't really examples of play. It takes about 100 pages to find out what type of dice the game uses (d6) and how many you're supposed to have to play. Even in the paragraph called "core mechanic" in the book doesn't list the type or number of dice. The PDF is front-loaded with lore, and while the Lore is awesome, I wish I had a clearer idea of the game and what I needed to bring to the table earlier.

I want to reiterate that the game is ABSOLUTELY worth your time and money. Pick it up ASAP. A 5 star game with a 3 star layout so a 4 star review!

Really enjoying continuing to explore this setting, and loving the way this roll system plays. It shields you from that gut-punch moment when you describe the coolest move ever only to have to creep it back when the dice betray you, but doesn't fall into the trap of making success too easy. I've found it really encourages collaboration within the group, as well as strategic thinking. Great for sharing that spotlight and feeling awesome as a party.

So, I picked this up on the quickstart and was quite impressed. The full game is not a disappointment. A great tecno fantasy concept that can be tailored to suit your needs. Core play draws strongly from Forged in the Dark and Powered by the Apocolypse, which for me is a good thing. The rules for creating your Domain, the feudal kingdom that serves as a bassis for your character allow good variation and inspire roleplaying ideas. Equipment and Domain resources, that can be used to aid characters, are varied and dynamic. Definately worth a look.
