Re: [RPG]: Heaven & Earth, Third Edition, reviewed by Joe Sala (5/5)
I have a couple of copies of the early editions of this game I thought it was pretty interesting. I can almost grok how you've given it 5/5 for substance... What I'm really struggling to understand, even based on the review, how it's ended up 5/5 for style. Given that the art is described "not of top quality", the text's organisation seems to be of average quality (does it have a table of contents and index?), and as for the physical presentation (well, this was a PDF), I don't have any idea about use of whitespace, readability etc. How readable is it?
Don't get me wrong, I really quite like this game. I does have, as you suggest, a Twin Peaks meets Over The Edge meets The Apocalypse. That's cool. But being cool is just one criteria by which rpg.net recommends Style values... How about the others?
