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.

On one of the podcasts, Jason mentions a magical item that’s a doll or teddy bear that takes the players place at the black gate. Does anyone remember the details or can point me toward where it can be found? I remember it was toward the beginning of the episode. I’ve re listened to the first 10 minutes or so of the last several FBD and DR and can’t seem to find it. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
