The second is the roll-and-keep system, which I think is a good flawed concept. From our experience of playing Legend of the Five Rings the additive system from a non-insignificant number of dice slows things down. I haven't really got a solution to this one, except to run a more storytelling style and reduce die rolls to critical moments.
Apart from that I think there is a lot going for the game. The notEurope setting in itself quite good, I do like mix of sorcery and gunpowder, it's pretty stylish etc.

The first is the notEarth issue, which led my to throw my arms up and say "for goodness sake, just use a fantasy Europe". What particularly irked me was the emphasis on sailing adventures, given that there is no other continents apart from Théah. This is, of course, not a problem in the current campaign.
