Everyone is standing on the shoulders of giants, all the way back to whoever painted those longhorn cattle on a cave wall.If Colville was creating this RPG trying to get a good grade in school, sure, innovation might be a primary consideration. But I think in the real world marketplace, the important questions are "is this fun to play? Is it so much fun that it's worth the price tag? Is this so much fun that people would rather play it instead of the many other things they could occupy their time with?" If the answer to most of those questions is yes, it's a success. And I suspect it will be, for people looking for the kind of experience they seem to be presenting.</blockquote>
