Re: [RPG]: HackMaster Basic, reviewed by James Gillen (4/3)

I'm going to break from the pack here and say this was not a good review at all. While it covered the product, it also positively dripped with the author's bias and served more as a soapbox from which he could attack old school gaming and its fans. Not to mention the outright failure of the author to do any research regarding HM4 before commenting on it.

The suggestion that HMb shouldn't be taken seriously as a game is uncalled for and unfounded. Given that KenzerCo is a serious game publisher with a long history of solid design in various systems and genres, the reviewer might have been better served grinding his axe elsewhere.
