I can't figure it out, other than Stephen Long loves to write. I mentioned above that the original Champions was 56 pages and nearly as complete as the 250 page 6th Edition one book Champions edition. They just kept adding words until you have these giant bricks of text.Now, universal games do benefit from extra words outside of the rules, because you need to talk about various genres and things. But again I am not against lengthy game books in general, just core rules.</blockquote>
