I wish they had done He-man first.

Not a fan of the genre, but a fan of Cortex. Happy to see this released. I hope it does well.

The hardcopy is delayed, but it is available in digital format. I haven't dug into it yet, but I've seen the previews.

This is probably the first Cortex* game book that feels to be complete in a sense an RPG manual you would expect to be:
1. It is focused. You get the rules and the setting, as opposed to toolkit and multiple variants of the CortexPrime book.
2. Themes that are quite uncommon in roleplaying: youths out to change the world of adults, politics and responsibilities. Also, the elves are different, and the humans do not feel bland.
3. The art and the layout are gorgeous.
4. There are lot of little player facing bits that make the game very beginner friendly.

There is quite a lot more that makes the book worth owning, but I need to read it first

* For CortexPrime version of the game rules.

I mean it kind of is the first Cortex Prime book, aside from the core rulebook.

Some of the pre-prime Cortex Plus books satisfy most of those requirements, with Firefly possibly satisfying all of them.

The pdf is beautiful and very well written with lots of good setting info.
I can't wait for the physical books to ship.

Edit:
Id also add, I like the dropping of d4 stress and the renaming of Assets(previously signature assets) and Temporary Assets(formerly assets). It is much easier to explain assets to people with those terms.

Arise from your grave, thread, to haunt this board once more!

For those of you that have a copy of the rules, what are your feelings on the rules system? My daughter is almost 12, loves The Dragon Prince, and has played some 1E Pathfinder with friends and family. Is this something that a 12 year old could learn to play without too much difficulty?

It is a notably different mechanic than Pathfinder, but it also has fewer fiddly bit modifiers to keep track of. Yes, a 12-year old could learn it without much difficulty.
