I like the artwork you can see on the site. It'll be great if the entire book will have that kind of artwork.
But I spotted an "error".
In the picture http://www.wiseturtle.com/wall-raineshou1024.jpg
, the girl has the upper-kimono part wrong. In Japan you always dress by putting the left flap over the right flap. This is only different when someone is lying in a coffin ^^.
I hope you get what I'm trying to say. You don't have to change it or anything, it's not big deal. I thought I'd jut mention it.

I appreciate the info! I didn't know that.
However, it's not a kimono OR a girl. It's Raine, the very.....feminine samurai. His outfit is not very clear here. Even so, I think it defies some Japanese tradition because it heretically modifies the attire. But thanks anyway!
As for the art, I assure you there's tons of great pieces in the book. Like this one: http://www.nikogeyer.com/gallery/ova_requiem.jpg
Probably just a slip of the tongue, but I noticed you talked about OVA in the future tense... In case you didn't realize, it is out and can be purchased at http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=4280
If I misread that, I apologize. ^_^;

Speaking therof, what's the latest update on a print version? Or the mecha and fantasy expansions?
(Being a massive gearhead, I'm dying to see the Mecha book.)

Three Rules of Anime:
1) Never pick a fight with an old man.
2) If it's cute, kill it now and save yourself a lot of time and effort.
3) Learn a musical instrument; after that, you can do anything.

Time will tell! Though you should go ahead and post in viewtopic.php?t=88 and you just might see a sneak peek at the rules early.
