[QUOTE="thomden, post: 1190696, member: 7099"] [b]not trolling[/b] No, I'm sorry. It wasn't meant as a troll. I did not like anything about the intro and did not think it was very well written. And it did not strike me as an "inspired" peice of literature, in the sense that the ideas were not compelling (to me) and the way it was written did not engage me. Obviously any post is simply an expression of an opinion. And as I work professionally illustrating games it doesn't serve my career to "troll" in the place that pays my rent. In fact, I'm going out on a limb expressing these opinions. As there are people I work for who may not appreciate my speaking negatively of a product. But, I'm sorely dissapointed in this product and it's a game that was one of my first role-playing experiences growing up. As I noted, I had my expecations too high. Considering Bruce Baugh's other outstanding work, and the general quality of S&S stuff I was expecting a LOT better. They're entitled to screw up occassionally, not every piece can be a masterpiece. But I wish this product had been one. [/QUOTE]
