[QUOTE="Siberys, post: 5590925, member: 30619"] The problems I have with the game seem to come from a tonal clash. I can't grok what the feel of the game is supposed to be, and the feel is supposed to be one of the most major draws! On the one hand, we have Appendix N Fantasy. The titles toted around, while I'll admit to not being the most well-versed with, always seemed to me to be of the 'gritty Conanesque' variety - or at least grittier than most modern fantasy. And yet we have things like 0 level and the spell fumble charts that seem more [URL="http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product_info.php?products_id=64041&filters=0_0_0_0&manufacturers_id=652"]Imp Game[/URL] than gritty. The picture of the butcher, baker, candlestick maker, and skeleton is particularly egregious in that respect. Maybe this comes from having started playing D&D with 3e, but it doesn't really match the feel I get from reading the 1e books I have. :/ [/QUOTE]
