Oh, boy. That's quite the question to answer in a single reply. In fact, I can't answer it because someone already has.

Instead, I refer you to Ron Edward's article Fantasy Heartbreakers (http://www.indie-rpgs.com/articles/9/).

Read it, digest what Ron is saying, then reread my review. You'll see what I mean.

Thanks for reading.

The article seems to be more about how new RPG systems should be innovative not derivative. Is that what you refer to when you say "current theories on RPG development".

Also, could you give some examples of "first and second generation role-playing games"? Well, okay, I can probably work out the 1st gen myself.
