Re: [RPG]: CthulhuTech, reviewed by Shining Dragon (5/4)
Good job on this one, S.D. -- you cover all the elements of the game succinctly but thoroughly, as far as I can tell. Based upon what I know of the game, I think the only thing you might've spend a little bit more time on would have been discussing the various factions at play in the setting. That's a relatively minor criticism, though. Overall, I think you've given an excellent, well-written overview of the game.

I agree: good review, and spending more time on the factions would sell more people
I'll also note that my copy (the black & white) is nearly unreadable at some points due to the silly border design. In black and white, the right page right border ends up being ... black text on black splotches. Yeah. Avoid this copy

Thanks guys. You are correct in saying that I should have added more information on the factions, but I always start worrying about the length of the review so get reluctant to expand on some things when I'm reaching a certain length.

Nice review. If anyone is interested I did a bit of a summary of the Framewerk rules in the RPG Systems wiki, http://rpgsystems.wikidot.com/framewerk. It's not complete, so if anyone wants to fill in the blanks then you are most welcome to join (http://rpgsystems.wikidot.com/system:join and use the secret password rpgrules).
