So, a staffer of mine ran a short one-off session on one of his days off and I actually got some under the hood experience with the system.
My initial read is pretty much accurate for the most part: It definitely has a White Wolf Storyteller-esque Dice Pool feel going for it (which is great, because I actually like the Storyteller system). Stats do seem slightly stacked towards Dex for the most part since almost all combat stat rolls (accuracy, initiative, etc) seem tied towards it nothing major from a surface read, but might become an issue in the long run. It's also very dependent on handwavium, which depending on your personal style, could be a huge plus or minus (for me, that's a plus).
Despite my dice betraying me horrendously (managing to do no damage while losing to a pidgey random encounter is just... sad), I had fun.
I could conceivably see myself running this if I manage to shake my GM drought and get a group together, and given how rules light the system is, I could see it working as a PBF game.
