Your friendfly neibhood PDF Reviewer here talking about my ltest and highly anticipated book: Green Ronin's Blue Rose. It is availible from RPGNow if you want the PDF, and the print version should be along ast some point in a few weekis I'd guess.
This book is not like anything else we have seen. I know many people are a little off put by the idea of Romantic Fantasy, but I'm here to tell you don't be. All it means is that there are more social and role playing ideas in this setting and its rules then pretty much anything e;se I've seen for d20. THis is a Role Players setting and game. Sure, it has rules and has fights and conflicts, but it allows for more space in the main book to talk about the little details like the socail envirments of the place.
Now, it does come with some basic assumptions people might not like. It is a little black and white, having good guys and bad guys. The land of the good guys is very accepting. There really is no racism in it, no sexism, no qualms on who you marry like what race or sex they are, it is a very accepting place. Nature is good, nature is there to work with and protect.
I like the scaled down classes, skills, and the way they have done feats. No more complaining about not enough feats.
Magic and psionics are built right into the system and the setting even has the basics of like what people's reaction to them are. Brilliant. THe details always get to me, and this book has the details I like and what make a campaign world come to life. MAgic and psionics are different, more feat and skill based. It is odd while they are weaker, there are things that one can do in this system that would take epic spells to do in regular d20.
The system is not going to perfect, and it is not going to be for everyone. But it is thought out, it makes sense within its defined parameters. Questions?
