I completely understand why it wouldn't be others. And a book of alternate rules of a more narrative based approach as a "This is another way you can play the game" would be welcome. Agreed on Bruce writing a Psionic setting, and about the XP - that was the major thing I was thinking of when I mentioned it had flaws.Back to thread topic, I still won't get this because I don't do any electronic playing, but as stretch goals come up and get added, the whole does look better and better; as stretch goals are supposed to do.*Dresden Files was a game I really wanted to play, but I just never felt comfortable with the Fate System it is based on. Genesys was interesting in that the characters were built a little more traditionally, but the dice really forced narrative decisions. I guess it's just an approach to gaming that I just am not comfortable with.</blockquote>
