Hello folks!
I first stumbled upon Shard at Anthrocon 2009. After a very nice conversation with Scott, I assured him I'd swing by and make a purchase later in the convention, but by the time I'd gotten around to hitting up an ATM for cash, all copies of the book had been sold. After a very busy latter half of 2009, then, I finally got around to picking up a copy online last month.
Needless to say, I really, really like the book so far! I've just finally finished my readthrough of the Basic Compendium from cover to cover, and it definitely looks like a setting and a system I'd have a lot of fun running!
I've got a couple of books and stories published within the furry fandom, and so with my storytelling inclinations, I of course love to GM as well. I'm hoping that I can get some of my local friends to give the game a shot as soon as I can find the time to come up with a storyline for a game to run (and after I've refamiliarized myself with the rules a few more times!).
I was also just at Furry Fiesta in Dallas this past weekend, and was in the room for part of the Shard demo session that Scott was running there. I didn't have the time to actually participate, but I did at least sit and listen for a little while, and I have to say that I loved the enthusiasm that I saw for the game, the world, and the telling of the story.
Definitely looking forward to finally cracking my knuckles and digging into the game properly for the first time, however soon it may be.
Cheers!
