[QUOTE="JeffB, post: 7707738, member: 518"] Its a clone of 0e and I think their argument for the 3rd print art/aesthetic falls flat and frankly felt like I was being lectured to in the FGG marketing. I backed at the pdf level so I could give the new look a chance, and I'm glad I did not purchase the print version. I'm hoping the 4th print gets back to the game's roots in art style. if they truly want to reach a mainstream audience and compete on store shelves, at the very least they need to go full color, and hardback with a different aesthetic than this 3rd print (which looks more like Danforths 2e MERP style with less finesse) That said, IMO this makes about as much sense as retro cloning 4e, putting in a bunch of black and white art of widely varying quality, printing it in softcover , and trying to convince the OSR market to rally around it. I wish Bill luck, but IMO he has lost the plot when it comes to S&W. [/QUOTE]
