[QUOTE="Nytmare, post: 7489750, member: 55178"] I picked up a copy a couple weeks ago, and though I've only had a chance to breeze through it, I was... I don't know if impressed is quite the right word, but it comes close. The subject matter seems a lot different from what I remember in college. Less about sexy, super powered political machinations and more about wrestling with a loss of humanity and exploring the horrors of a modern world that a late 90s version of me couldn't have dreamed of. The book feels more mature, but more than that, the book paints its world with the brushes the last decade have provided, and I just don't know how much escape a game like this will provide. I'm also not entirely sure if I like the art. The book uses a lot of photography, and though I didn't see anything that bothered me (and saw a LOT that I liked) it reminded me of the old Vampire Larp book and a hundred other cheap 90s/early 00s RPG books that were packed with snapshots of college kids in their Ren Faire attire. Again, I didn't see anything offensive, but I was sure each time I turned the page it was going to be two dudes in jeans and teeshirts, each sporting a single piece of chainmail apparel, having a sword fight in a dorm hallway.
