I playtested it when it was first written. My players hated it. (Quite possibly because there was no way to "win" really.*) I enjoyed it. With the right group, it's a terrific setting for roleplaying. Your odds of putting that group together are above zero, but statistically less likely than the Red Sox winning again this year. :)

*That and the fact that the great and terrifying gods were Winnie the Pooh takeoffs weren't appreciated. Years later I have a terrific appreciation for what Robin Laws did with that setting. Ah, but only if I had it when I was 29.
