It truely is an atmospheric and polished sysytem. The world can be easily adapted by GMs who are looking for a setting for games such as Legend, RQ6 and BRP. The writers have been GMing OT and adapting the rules and source material for well over a decade now with a wide variety of players at clubs and conventions.
As a big plus, the book is already written and formatted, lots of artwork by professional RPG artists is complete and you can get a PDF as soon as Kickstarter finishes ! The final PDF, which will incorporate material inserted by Kickstarter backers, comes out with the softcover release early next year. Its already past a stretch goal but don't delay as there is a bonanza of extra features that can happen if funding is met !!
I have playtested in several campaigns and I've contributed the odd bit of artwork. If anyone has any queries after watching the video and reading about the project there is an Orbis RPG Facebook site and Dan and Fifty are happy to answer correspondence. I can answer some questions myself as well. Details about an imminent internet chat in an hour or two are on the Kickstarter site.
