Summary

While I really dig the game system overall and the storyline of this campaign, I find there's a lot more railroading of the players than I'd like. The finale of this release forces the gamemaster to set the player characters on the outside looking in at the epic events which unfold. Your mileage will certainly vary, especially if your players are more interested playing in a story as opposed to writing the tale with their own deeds.
