For the record - I imagine a lot of people share Jared's other sentiment, too.

For the record.  :-)

From a GNS perspective, this is why the premise did not grab me:

Character - I've never been interested in games that center around magic. I was never interested in Mage for this reason. Oddly enough, I really like Sorcerer's take on magic (ie. the magic comes from Demons, you have to bargain for it and pay the price).

System - I generally don't like cards unless it makes sense. I think it makes sense for Dust Devils. Not too sure about this game.

Setting - From reading your first post, I wasn't entirely clear on the setting. I'm not sure it even says whether the game is set in the modern day or ancient times. If it's set in modern times, then the whole greek myth thing seems a little incongruous. At the very least, it begs the question why the Greeks had it right and the other religions didn't.

Situation - It basically sounds like the players are responsible for saving the world. It sounds a little like In Nomine or Armageddon. However, I think I prefer the premise of those games because I like their character choices and settings better.

Color - From what little I've read I couldn't really get a good grasp of this. You mentioned weird vehicles traveling through the ether. Once again, this strikes me as little incongruous with the other elements.

I hope this helps.

I didn't meant to...

Apologies.  Was just replying to...

Which is to say, from what little I know, Matt seems to be a decent enough fellow.  I didn't excise that part of the original post in a attempt to say otherwise or...

(Kester looking flustered.)

Kester, man, don't sweat it! Gordon was NOT implying that you suggested otherwise. I know Gordon, and he was, I believe, just offering some kind words of support to me. I deeply appreciated the gesture on his part.

Seriously, you need't explain. I took neither your comments as offense, nor did Gordon question your comments. He was just saying something really nice.
