I dunno about Shakespeare-themed, but there are definitely influences. A
certain... I guess "poetry" to aspects throughout the system and on the
character sheets. "The pirates daughter"... The Tempest's "A most delicate
monster"... a couple of the Shylock's aspects as well as one of Keepdown's.
 I don't know how far it will go, since we haven't played yet, it's
definitely there.

In either case, it really presents a unified feel to the cluster, and makes
me curious as to WHY all the system's follow this pattern.
