[QUOTE="Wrathamon, post: 6459131, member: 7989"] People wanted the Ultimate Hacker's Book of Rules for D&D, but what they got was a If You Wanted to Hack D&D Here are Some Ideas Guide. It is a Guide after all. I think there are two camps ... the people who like it, are the type that want to create new stuff, happy with small changes, or don't feel the needed to change anything but appreciate reading about how to do it if they ever wanted to and the other camp that wants codified rule systems that they don't need much to slot into their game and they want a lot of those systems and dont care much for the why or how to do it yourself. I am sure there are shades of gray. I was one that was hoping for more crunchy parts and more depth on some of the systems presented but I also like how they have gone with the empowering the DM to make it their D&D. [/QUOTE]
