[QUOTE="Cergorach, post: 1126099, member: 725"] Well, eww! I do like the backgrounds mechanic and fortunes, it's a good way of adding depth to a character and a good alternative to use skillpoints. I also dig the header font used and the skull logo. Well, that's it for the good points... Every page has a big as side bar that's sometimes used to add a paragraph or two of text. And only using one column for the rest of the page creates a big ass amount of white space, which doesn't help but give me the impression that each page doesn't have a lot of text on it. Next is the art on page 28, Ack!!! That looks like a (bad) etching from something around 1780, i can appreciate the idea behind it, but i don't really want that kind of artwork in a game book, this kind of art belongs in a history book as an example on how 'art' was done a couple of centuries ago, not on how to do art now! The Elven sourcebook preview was a lot more impressive and that was a title i wasn't looking particulary forward to, no i am certainly looking differently at both books.
