[Dead of Night] Feedback request

Admin: Feel free to delete this (or move it to a more appropriate location) if you feel it doesn't conform to the guidelines of this forum, and my apologies in advance. I looked around, but I found no other way to announce a new indie game release with a request for feedback to improve our products.

Dead of Night: the little book of horrors, should be available in your local game stores beginning November 14th, 2005. If they're not carrying it, bug them until they do! If your FLGS refuses to carry it, order it from Key20 Publishing.

This ultra-portable 224-page book is one-quarter the physical size of standard RPG releases, so keep your eyes peeled for it.

You've heard it before for many other games, but I'll say it again:
The game offers some very unique ideas. It's well worth your hard-earned gaming bucks.

Read the basic rules, generate characters in moments, and play a full session in the same evening! We focused on the essential elements of horror stories and movies that players want translated into games. 

[LIST]
• Uses eight attributes, which cover any conceivable action.
• Remains universally accessible while lacking conventional physical or mental stats.
• Allows the creation of a plethora of specialized skills and abilities, limited only by player imagination and GM dictates.
• Minimizes die rolling.
• Mechanizes the concept of "fudging" die rolls.
• Describes narrative guidelines for five distinct styles of horror gaming.
• Provides a Tension mechanic to help GMs gauge and deliver impactful horror scenes.
• Includes targeted rules for multiple styles of play, such as GM-less play and secret! player character monsters.
