The game's system is really fun, but it takes a lot of reading into and work to get right. One big thing is this is an oriental, obviously, setting game. So a lot of the givens for games like D&D and the such are just not. Lots of people still see this as a fantasy setting. Well it is... but it is also heavily inspired by Chinese themed honor, lords, clans, social hierarchy and such. Oh yeah and the money system is a major pain since it's based on a bartering style trade, so most of the time there's no money. If you plan on getting this book and trying the system, be ready for a new way of thinking if you're a D&D buff like me. Otherwise stick to something you know cause there's some drudging of rules and concepts to do that are no where near the normal fantasy setting. All that aside I still really enjoyed the book and playing the game.
