[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 8230935, member: 18"] I can tell you what it means without even clicking the link - it means the whole thing is going to read like a late 1990s Image comic. Whether that is a good thing or a bad thing is pretty much a matter of perspective. I note that I clicked the button to be notified when it got KS'd so I must not be entirely opposed to it! :) EDIT - Metzen's stuff has always, always been extremely in that "Image revolution" vein (if he was a slightly better artist I'd say he was wasted on games - as is I don't think he was quite as competent or prolific as any of the Image guys). I'm fully expecting bad-but-sexy angels and the Sularian Church will no doubt be full of florid shrieking hypocrits and styled after the late-medieval Catholic Church, and there will be edgy demonic-types who are the real good guys, but also demonic types who are just bad and so on. It's like no-one got the memo that Nemesis the Warlock did the whole schtick, only with twice the style and intelligence but 1/100th the sales in the 1980s. But hey I guess it bears some repetition. EDIT EDIT - Clicking the link confirms that impression, frankly. This is an Image revolution-style deal much like Kingdoms of Amalur. That horned monster looks curiously like Simon Bisley drew it. Overall it looks a bit tacky/silly to me. But... maybe that's perfect? Maybe that's what I'd like? Tacky over-the-top D&D? I think it might be. [/QUOTE]
