I wouldn't categorize it as a low or high fantasy setting but low fantasy vs high fantasy. Player Characters often find themselves in a grim mundane world resembling renaissance Europe complete with disease, poverty and religious repression. This is reflected in character creation where characters start off in mundane jobs (for the most part) mirroring Call of Cthuhlu investigators rather than pulp heroes of D&D. But the fantasy is there, driven out to far away uncivilized lands or locked in dark basements for our own good and its about to burst free and turn your characters' lives upside-down.Anyway, I can't think of any other company who can take the 'Feel' of a setting so loved by fans and fashion game mechanics to suit (look at DR Who and The One Ring). One good thing about the previous edition-that-shall-not-be-named is that the d100 system need not be a sacred cow; I have full confidence in their design decisions as I feel they have their priorities straight.The only thing I am wary of is Games Workshop given the appalling way they treated Green Ronin/Black Industries during the abrupt end of 2nd Edition. Cubicle 7 probably has a time limited license for the setting and the clock is ticking for them to release a complete line of products before the rug is pulled from under them and if they are successful they could find their hard work and game system published by another company. If I was Cubicle 7 I'd just do some 'Adventures in the Old World' supplements and convert The Enemy Within campaign to 5th Edition D&D, take the money and run. Given that, I truly appreciate Cubicle 7's devotion to the project.</blockquote>
