I am disgusted by this comment. This review was most certainly not the work of someone with 'limited grasp of English', which makes the comment even more offensive. I am sorry, but Ron Edwards is not a difficult writer. The review clearly shows that the reviewer has read and understood what Ron Edwards has written. What the reviewer has neglected to do, however, is to blindly agree with Ron Edwards' idiosyncratic ramblings, with regards to the S&S genre and roleplaying games. I must say I found Edward' 'critical essay' quite a hard pill to swallow myself when I read it, and the game itself had very little to do with the S&S genre as most would understand it.
