Then the implication of the rear cover text.  In the first few sentences it comes across as a story or graphic novel rather than a rules supplement. Finally the erroneous grammar, typos, and the somewhat self-important phrase "body magic" gives the impression it is a first effort at best.  The short form is that the first impression quality is low to negative.  I  hope you have enough demand to do a second printing and bring back the more abstract cover of MMS:WE and re-write the back cover text. (FYI: in the free supplement p.11 last sentence, second paragraph "Of your planet is exactly like Earth" should be "or your planet...")</blockquote>
