Darren, no offense but I haven't read a single one of your reviews through in years. They're just too long, too expansive. I look for "capsule" and I find "thesis paper". I read the first paragraph, then I skim, then I give up and go to the next review. Your reviews have not helped me make a decision about a single roleplaying product, while the hordes of single-page reviews here have steered me.

This review, while perhaps one paragraph too short for my personal tastes, gave me, succinctly, the details of the game that I wanted to see: An overview, the rules it uses, and how it all works. I'd have loved to see one more paragraph where the reviewer gets deeper into how he thinks the rules do and don't work in a game of his imagining, but that;s just me. And again, I say "paragraph" and not "page".

So again, I throw my flag in the camp of "short, tight, and informative".
