Quick question: When you say that some combat features are gone, what do you mean? Is it pruned down to "nothing except attack, possibly declaring whether you're fighting defensively or using Power Attack", or is it "Grappling now handled with a single roll, attacking a held item now has a static DC with optional Narrator modification"?
I wouldn't mind the former if playing with new gamers, people I was trying to introduce to roleplaying. My normal gaming buddies might be irked by the perceived loss of options, though -- but I don't mean that as a slam on Blue Rose. I think it's a decent and fair idea.
