In the "entry level, including classes, etc, to get people interested in this style of play so more people will go out and actually buy my tech spec supplement" scale, B&G is a crucial success.  You saw esmdev's letter, and I think he's indicative of a larger phenomena.  People want to play this style of game, but they need the framework.  In that way, as far as promoting the health and success of our always-on-the-verge-of-extinction hobby, I'd rather have a dozen B&G's  with errata helpfully supplied by enthusiastic friends, than a thousand tech supplements.I'm not saying we should let tech errors go.  But placing another person's product in proper context, and a little attitude check while pointing out these errors is apparently beyond ....Oh, for chrissake, I'm just rewriting the long letter I wrote and then snipped  in my last post.I do have to relate an amusing, somewhat relevant anecdote.  Just talked to a friend of mine who had the pleasure of serving his country for several years, and did indeed get shot at.  With this thread on my mind, I asked him: "You ever use one of those TOW missiles?""Ay-up.""Which weapon system did you use?  The Hellfire, the Longbow, or one of the Hellfire variants?"He smiled, looked at me and said: "Whatever one was in the f*&kin' box."</blockquote>
