Re:So what? (Score 1)

I'd rather respond to this via e-mail, because I don't want to come off like a shill, but since I can't:

I've been designing for a long time. Every game is a group of good ideas that a designer got from other games and put his own unique twist on. The difference is that I say so up-front. It's not really an amalgam, as much a bibliography of influences.

As for "new to the table," I'm not going to try and sell the game. If you want to know why it's not the suck, feel free to read this post on an RPG forum:

Or. feel free to contact me via e-mail - the e-mail's on my website - and I'll explain to you why it's pretty much the best role-playing game ever.
