[QUOTE="Akrasia, post: 2042558, member: 23012"] Just to be clear, the editing problems are[B] NOT [/B] as bad as the ones in the [U]Conan[/U] RPG (1st printing). And a lot of the spelling mistakes, etc., are in sections of the rules that you are not likely to read more than once. This is not to excuse the sloppiness. But people need to keep some perspective on the problem. Your eyes will not start to bleed if you read the book. OTOH, the cover is beautiful, as is the internal art. It is a very well bound book (not likely to fall apart). In my review at RPG.net, I gave the PHB a '4' for style. In retrospect, that was a bit generous. I would give the art and cover a '5', but the edting and layout a '2' (readable and generally clear, but marred by many problems), for an overall '3'. Finally, keep in mind that the book is only $20. So sure it is flawed -- but for a very small amount of money (relative to other RPG hardbacks) you get a very cool game. [/QUOTE]
