Last year I spent ages searching for a copy and ended up finding it in
a bargin-bin at a local shop.
Go figure.
Anyway, I like the setting, but the adventure itself doesn't really
look like it'd work as written. It's much more D&D-esque than an UA
game should be, with a dungeon crawl involving several frightfully
deadly clockworks (Most doing firearms type damage) and enough
powerful lootable artefacts to make any GM's head spin like Regan
MacNeil.
(I also remember thinking the Magus archetype was probably overpowered
and not too good a themantic fit, but don't have it on hand right
now.)
That said, I really like some of the fluffy details, such as the
possible consequences of the PC's escapades and the description of the
state of the occult underground.
I haven't used it myself (More out of lack of opportunity) but I might
give it a shot as a flashback oneshot if I think I ever feel I can do
renaissance Prague justice.
