[QUOTE="Moon-Lancer, post: 3058911, member: 35798"] You can surely can not like the book. The book is a good book, regardless of weather it fits for you. It’s like music. I can tell good music from bad music, but i don’t always like the music I know is good, and sometimes I like bad music. You’re judging on an esthetic, rather then qualities of composition, editing, ideas, balance, and many other things that go into making a d&d book good. You’re getting wrapped up in its flavor, when you should have known what that was before you bought the book. It’s like ordering food you didn’t like, because you want everything on the menu, but then complain because you ordered some food you didn’t like. I did read your post, but I didn’t want to point out that if you buy a book because you’re a collector, and you don’t like what that book has to say, well maybe you should be more selective about what you collect? I don’t think being compulsive about what you buy helps to validate your opinion because you came across something that doesn’t suite you. Now if you looked at it, and it was riddled with editing mistakes, and was unplayable or some how all the reviews said one thing, while when you got the book, you felt differently. I would understand I think. I didn’t intent to be mean in my previous post, it just came out wrong. The book does what it is and does it well doesn’t make it a bad book, it just means you dislike what it does, and in that case you shouldn’t have gotten the book, collector or no. Hopefully you will change you mind about the book, and use it someday. It’s a fun book to say the least. [/QUOTE]
