It happens often and it happens again in the present review. The reviwer starts commenting on how the game under consideration is different from "other game systems". It turns out that the expression actually refers to D&D and variants, relatives and similar games. The present review is no exception to this.

It's more of an anoying syndrome but I tend to dislike it a lot because most of the "other game systems" that I actually love don't are not subject to the issues raised by the reviewer when he used this expression. I would rather have the reviewer mentioning which game systems he has in mind than using a generic expression that is higly misleading.

And it's funny to notice that the reviewer pointed to the similarities between Epic and D&D. And to the places where Epic drifts away to D&D (yes, by referring to D&D by the infamous "other game systems" expression). It's funny because last week we had a review of SAS that had an issue with this and was subject to heavy criticism for paying too much attention to the linkage between that game and D&D...
