I also thought that while the first book was a little too wordy, the books overall were very well written.  They have a bibliography at the begining of every book which is not only a nice touch but added a lot of great works to my reading list.Character creation takes a while for how simple the system is, which is frustrating.If you are thinking of GMing you must acquire the FAQ and Erratta, explains more than it corrects. Essential.</blockquote>
