It's a new system whose Kickstarter raised $1.3 million since February. I'm curious about it but would like to hear more people's thoughts.

Some background material:

I haven't played or run it; however, I've been watching videos on it and reading the free quickstart.

After more reflection, I probably won't be using it. It's very much in the OSR vein, and I am finding I'm getting tired of the medieval fantasy tropes. I'm mostly looking into Vampire: The Masquerade 5th edition right now.
