It's actually an amalgam of the four mini reviews on the Chaosium website that I did up as I purchased each of the monographs. The difference here is that the reviews have all been edited and put together, since unlike there it didn't make much sense to review the individual books seperately.

Some things that I had put into those mini-reviews I took out for this review, mainly inaccuracies such as the game being complete after the Creatures Book was printed.

It's my opinion that by posting the review here as well as the mini-reviews over there, the Basic Roleplaying system can get some wider exposure so that Chaosium will actually get the updated game OUT. After all, the monographs are there to gauge customer interest in such a rule set, and it's my belief that given the right "push", if you will, one of the best rulesets ever devised will again see the light of day.

Should you believe that what I did is bad form, then I am sorry that you disapprove. I believe though that posting this review so a larger audience could see that the game was out there and make up their minds is worth the small amount of grief or inconvenience I may endure for my choice.
