Reading your review, I also hope that they make space for a "magic" system that's more freeform for those warlocks who devote time to studying the fringe side of science, as opposed to the more static "magic tricks" it sounds like they have made up for those who are just dabblers. I mean, I can see
why they have a section of "spells" for the dabblers, since most people are just that. I
do hope they come up with a more freeform system for honest-to-goodness warlocks, though.
And while your review certainly caught my attention, Dan, as did their website, I have to say that I got a stronger "Prohibition" vibe off of warlocks than Red Scare (from the company website), although I suspect the authors are trying to combine the two. I do agree with your assertion that putting psychology and flaws on the character sheet would have been a better way to go, but I'll look at the game proper before I advocate any more tinkering.
And incidentally, even though it's fourty bucks, I'm going to try to buy it when I can. This looks
goooooood on a lot of levels.
