Manuals came, I must say I really love having these hard copies. And such great quality too. I hope you (matrix) do well with this sales-wise. Just as a matter of interest have you (matrix) ever considered offering printed versions of manuals via print on demand? For example for the Aegod games (Alea Jacta Est, Civil War, etc.)

What I really am starting to love about this game is that the mechanics are all completely visible to the player; unlike with a game that was designed especially for the computer (for example (not a put-down of the game) 'Alea Jacta Est', a lot of mechanics happen in-code none visible/knowable to the player. Also I feel that for games like that; because some aspects are suppose to be 'hidden' the documentation is often lacking around aspects that should not be 'hidden'. With a board game there is less room there; you can't play a board game without every mechanic being explicitly documented.

That is a very good point. This game has combat tables that you can see and decide - based on the odds - what is can or is likely to happen. It doesn't stop the moaning when you throw rubbish dice of course , but it at least makes things less of a black art.
