Converted from Phorums BB System

Just as a note, I'm getting a negative impression of the book simply from the *formatting* of this review; as I've stated elsewhere, the one-sentence-per-paragraph style may be the new black, and I myself use it occasionally, but to find it in use as the predominant formatting element in an article is jarring. Having said that, I haven't read GURPS Rogues yet in order to be able to respond materially to the content of the review, but Phil's point about templates is something that bears repeating.

(Actually, I do have one comment: again, not having read Rogues, I can't speak for the specific book in question, but there is a significant and salient difference between "high-quality art" and "art I like". Regardless of anyone else's personal tastes, if art appears in a role-playing game or supplement, *someone* thought it was of high enough quality to put it there. (Well, unless they were running perilously close to deadline, but I don't have any reason to believe that this was the case for Rogues.)
