I've got a friend who really loves the Battlelords setting, and while I liked playing the game with him, it was solely because he had memorized the game to the point where I didn't need to read the books. I understand SSDC is writing new books now, but so far, they have all been recycled from Larry Sims' writing, and Larry Sims had a nasty habit of using tons of exclamation points and enjoying lots and lots of statistics. Reading the books made me wince.

Battlelords is indeed a good game if you want to shoot stuff. However, even if all you want to do is shoot stuff, there's still a lot you need to wade through to do that.
