"Go to the sign of Marvel's Axe, a dubious inn on the edge of the Thieves Quarter, in the City of Greyhawk, and look to your own wrist. If you perceive a bracelet and dangling dice, watch for the next throw in the war between Law and Chaos and be prepared to follow the compelling geas." -Signal

Blue Rose Companion
I wish I could tell you that I didn't buy this game based on the cover. I am not sure what it is about the art but the first time I saw the core rulebook I had to have it. This is no less true about this book and also the World of Aldea book as well. There are times that judging a book by it's cover will lead you down the path of ruin. Luckily this was not the case with these books. I have not had a chance to play the system as of yet but it reads like it will be a solid play and the material is presented in an easy to read and yet still striking manner.
