[QUOTE="Mythtify, post: 1052117, member: 4331"] Well, I just got my copy of Au today. I wasn't going to, but all the good things said about it sold me. I respect Monte as a designer, but a lot of the things he has written in the past just isn't for me. I have enjoyed what I have read so far. I like the races, and the classes. I havent gotten t othe magic system yet. The only thing that realy bugs me is all the space that is used to give rules that are already in the players handbook. Monte states that AU is written for experinced players who are familiar with "other games" that use system. If thats the case, the book is written for people who already know how combat works, how skills work, what the core mechanic is, ect, ect. Basicly he is reprinting rules he already expects people to have and know. Why reprint all this material. I understand that he wanted to make it stand alone, which it isn't anyway. This is a shame, since all the orginal material seems to be very good. I would have loved to see more orginal designed material than reprinting rules we all have. I am realy looking forward to the conversion document. All in all, Good Job Mr. Cook. [/QUOTE]
