So lets start off with this, in Shattered Moon creating a character creates a sense of investment. It's a detailed process requiring a bit more thought than just the average slap a character together and lets roll. I applaud this, one shoudl be invested from the beginning otherwise, what is the point of role-playing? I like the idea of an ever widening spiral adjusted by the tarot of fate. In a way it reminds me of Everway. there is definitely some ebb and flow in those cards as they are not balanced, this isn't a criticism by the way it's an observation. It's something I appreciate even as I grimace when I draw the "Child" giving me 4 FP to work with as a past life ... drawing cards and I highly encourage this as opposed to picking really makes you think about the character, who and what you want to be, it may not be what you originally envisioned.

If I have any criticism it is this, I'd honestly like to see this built more like another product from Broken Tower VANGUARD in so far as being more, race ... Troll - here take this card write this down, Weaver, here take this card write this down. The reason I say this is the dearth of information is vast and having those available would help in the beginning and it's nice to have a reference when needed. Last thing it is sometimes difficult to find what you are looking for when you need it but overall I am going to rate this 5 stars for originality and above average mechanics, I mean there's something here to fit every blll just about.
