Jasper, thank you! I appreciate this review.

Jack -- I can see why you'd say that. The initial drafts and bulk of material in DEAD INSIDE was written long before I saw a copy of WRAITH.

Indeed, I started reading WRAITH (because a playtester suggested the games dealt with similar issues) during the period where I was revising DI for layout. That was a pretty weird experience -- and, IIRC, Wraith's Shadow rules did influence DI's depiction of the Shadow Imago.

What was even weirder was reading Ron Edward's SORCERER while laying DI out for publication. It was like DI and SORCERER were two sides of the same mirror, and I'd never looked at the book before. Really, really freaky.

I honestly think you could run a kickass SORCERER game using the DI rules, and a kickass DI game using the SORCERER rules.

Anywho, each of the three games mentioned above, while sharing similarities, are very, very different -- I think the differences come through clearly when you read each. In any case, it's good company to be in.

Thanks, though!
