generally inclined to agree, so far with my couple of starts the rules feel close in some ways but off and not in a good way in others. I intend to try and give a proper and thorough feedback post as well.

I think it's off to a good start, and visually is very nice. But there are a lot of things that IMO should be brought closer to pnp, with the game being turn based there are far fewer pnp rules that should need ot be changed. I understand the difficulty of reactions because they'll be a bit jarring with the current flow of gameplay, but there are solutions.
