You're most welcome, Pundit! Kudos to you for such a high quality product!
I started with Lion & Dragon and am about halfway through. I have to throw in that I'm really impressed by the art - being an artist, it's often the first thing that grabs me. So many books have widely-varying styles and quality; this ties together nicely and thematically.
One of the COOL things that struck me was the way it treats magic-using types - Magisters and Clerics. These aren't just carbon-copied from D&D - they FEEL very different. The Cleric is more like an AD&D Paladin, I'd say, rather than a walking First-Aid station; and the Magister... he's not hucking fireballs, lightning bolts, and flying around. From what I've read so far, a lot of his abilities come from study, knowledge, and summoning - just like the mages of myth. He's got the healing knowledge, and bubbling of potions are right up his alley.
I think there's an underlying theme in the game that your characters are part of a SOCIETY (or a world) - not just random murder-hobos going about in a generic lawless frontier, hacking and looting with no ties to anything bigger than themselves. The fact that even high-level characters are still part of this (and not invulnerable super-heroes that can take on an entire army single-handedly) reinforces and ties this in.
