[QUOTE="Skyman, post: 2545069, member: 16427"] Hey Maester Luwin, ecliptic, and JS, long time no talk since the GoO boards have been down. For a while I'd been thinking I wouldn't get the RPG. I didn't agree with the choice to make the Maester a class rather than a generic scholar, make Godsworn specific to the faith of the Seven, or have a Kingsguard or Bloodrider PrC. I also was hoping HP would be removed entirely. I finally decided that it would be a waste of all my time spent reading previews and discussing the game [I]not[/I] to get the game, so I ended up purchasing the pdf... ...And I'm glad I did. :) Not only does it have beautiful text and layout and very good world information, but the game does a great job of capturing the feel of Westeros and has well-thought out mechanics.
