A few of my friends actually just picked the rule book up and are learning to play right now. I do not have the most experience when it comes to pen and paper games, but I have played enough to get the gist of it. I must admit, though, the artwork for this is -fantastic-. I hear that the rules can be a bit hard to pick up, but that it is definitely a good engine to run games on. I may try it out with my friends see how it is.
