Good to see SBBQ is back! I read the playest document a while ago and it really seems to be a fun (and functional) system.

I'm in the planning stage of a campaign with my group, and I'll definitely present Strike! as a system option (along with 13th Age and 4e Trifold).

There are some things I'm not crazy about :

1. The "funny" tone of the fluff. All that stuff about "the deal with dragonborn is boobs".

I heard that there will be a Kickstarter for this game, and I'll put as much money in it as my finances allow, but I have to ask — is there going to be a plain-mechanics SRD-like document available? I'm afraid the "funny" tone will really turn my players off — a fluff-neutral document has a better chance of being accepted.

2. Layout and the icons. The legibility of the icons is quite bad IMO — plain black over a white background would work better than grayscale over a black background.

And I have a question about licensing — will this game be OGL or something like that? I really like the engine for this game, but would prefer if there were more options — like some setting/genre book that isn't "funny", and different mechanical options (like classes that aren't decoupled from role — one of the things I like in 4e is the variety of ways the same role can be expressed mechanically).

Can't wait for the Kickstarter!
