[QUOTE="JoeGKushner, post: 108368, member: 1129"] [b]Too strong language[/b] I apologize for using the word suck. It implies a great level of poor writing and other bad things that War isn't. Part of the problem is my long term reading experience in role playing games. After I've read several books on castles, war, sieges, and other things relating to a subject and you see that subject given only the broadest strokes, I was very disappointed. Does this make War a bad book? NO. If you are a new player or GM with little knowledge of war or role playing in general, the questions it raises will make you think. Would I recommend War to anyone whose played in more than ten sessions and seen Braveheart, LoTR and other fantasy movies? Nope. My apologies for my gut reaction to War as it's not a terrible book and my initial criticism make it seem so. My points still stand though. Generic/Misleading Prestige Class Names. No ranking of officers No prices for military action/life No incorporation of seafare/science fiction/non-fantasy war [/QUOTE]
