Anybody have any experience with Vincent Baker’s beta of “Freebooting Venus”?

Anybody have any experience with Vincent Baker’s beta of “Freebooting Venus”? My group is three sessions in. The first session using the first set of rules, the second and third using the revised rules. The game is very unfinished, but we are having a really good time with it. The thing is, I can’t figure out exactly why. Anybody have any thoughts or experiences with it they would like to share and discuss? I love the treasure mechanic, I like the unpredictable magic effects, I enjoy the estate building. Haven’t gotten into the mercantile stuff, but that looks interesting.

  3. My opinions so far: I LOVE the treasure mechanic; the random magical effects are fun; The estate building is really cool and prompted some interesting play opportunities; I’m looking forward to getting into the mercantile stuff, but have yet to do so; I’ve found ghosts very useful and fun rp opportunities, The game begs for bringing the weird, which the group is doing well.

    The “new direction” rules, are…interesting. I would prefer to give them more table time before voicing an opinion.
