Message: <blockquote data-quote="Neo" data-source="post: 1843466" data-attributes="member: 4139">Typos for me in a book although an annoyance do not by themselves alone give me cause for concern with any book..   Yes they shouldn't be there, absolutely a company that makes such errors should do better.. but typos aside their presence does not detract from what a book, "any" book is about and whether it is good or not.  So long as the words are legible and the occasional typo doesnt prevent the word its in from being understood I can where necessary as can most people look past them and concentrate on the content, which at the end of the day is a far more important concern than spelling errors imo.In that regard the current edition was still readable and understandable, at least I had no problems understanding the writing at any rate.However the main gripe for me and most people from what I see on the numerous boards as I say was the difference in theme, the different explanations for things.. it just didnt "feel" Gamma anymore.. in truth even the name didnt belong to the current edition as there was no Fallout per se.. it is all a nano driven apocalypse..  And therein lies the problems yes the nanotech theme was probably more up-to-date, but for myself the setting and timeline as it stood the main premise for the whole Gamma World setting was just fine as it was, that of all that is Gamma World was the one part that didnt for me need re-writing, re-clarifying, re-updating or changing in anyway.  The end result being they changed that and the feel and theme of the game now feels different.Mechanically speaking there are a few issues though nothing humungously problematic, but then show me a book where there aren't.. they just don't exist.  Most Companies Errata however, and msot groups can house rule what doesnt work too.However all the above said for myself a more purer "Themed" post apocalyptic approach of all the current ones available is Darwins World by a long mile.</blockquote>
