[QUOTE="talien, post: 3594914, member: 3285"] There's a couple of other points I didn't even address, like the mechanics. For example, in the original BRP version of the rules for this gun, it says the victim dies OR can be knocked unconscious if the GM is feeling kind. Apparently the D20 version is just more lethal (that seems to be rather telling about how the authors feel about D20, but whatever). And you're right, the gun is actually a living organism, so it's not really under a normal human's control anyway (it's made for Mi-Go). I don't consider the concept of the gun or the description to be particularly challenging, but the outrageous number of typos, spelling errors, inconsistencies, and all-around lack of attention paid to this entry alone really drags the book down. There are others, but this was by far the worst. It's also interesting that nobody's pointed out how atrocious the d20 part was handled in any of the reviews I've read of the book. I get the impression the majority of consumers are not using the D20 material anyway and are just grateful to own the book in any form. This thing took years to produce, right? Shouldn't the editing on the d20 entries (which, proportionately, are much smaller than the rest of the book) be pristine as a result? I know, I know, I'm talking crazy talk. But man. This is really bad. [/QUOTE]
