But I haven't played yet, as the complexity of the thing is putting me off. IMO, there are a lot of unnecessarily complicated rules, lots of tables you have to reference all the time (get a GM screen or it'll bog down play too much), and the amount of bookkeeping required of the GM reminds me unfortunately  of the accounting classes I had to take for my degree. Plus, the organization of the books isn't too great, with rules in the PHB being incomplete or distorted versions of those in the GMG.If you enjoy a crunchy rules system that takes time to master and lends a distinct flavor to the game experience, HM may be for you. If you want to play without having the rules interfere overmuch, I can't recommend HM.</blockquote>
