Hi Tommy!

Thanks for an excellent review! It was quite in-depth, and without factual errors. Very, very good job!

I do think you gave a bit too much emphasis to the “everyone’s the same age” thing. It's really a minor bit of game advice, to make it easier for the GM, not in any way a rule. I have personally run very diverse PC groups with no trouble. Balance is actually seldom an issue with a mixed age group. Nor is balance a big issue with different levels of power, as there is seldom enough overlap in what the PCs do to matter. I personally don't worry about such things when running the game.

Also, an "adventure" is not necessarily a single session. It could be several - or many - connected sessions. This is, apparently, a common misunderstanding, so the fault lies in the way I presented the concept. Next time I revise the text, I will be sure to emphasize this!
