[QUOTE="DarbyMcD, post: 8470109, member: 7031785"] I am really excited for this book! First, I know it is somewhat superficial, but the art we have seen is outstanding, especially for a GURPS product. The interesting thing for me about monster manuals is that you don't use most of the monsters, really, but it is so fun to leaf through and feel the potential. It is like when I do to the big DIY stores, even though I have no skills at all, I feel like I can build a house. Books of monsters is the same for GMs. And honestly the art really adds to the visceral feeling. It is like I start seeing the encounter in my mind. Secondly, I really like the layout. One thing that Douglas Cole does extremely well is take GURPS, which is considered complicated, and break it down and present it in a way which shows that it is detailed but fairly simple. That is no small thing. It shows that he understands not only the material but the audience quite well. So this is a very cool product, I feel like he is pulling GURPS into the 21st century. I hope that people who like they system can find a few bucks to vote with their dollars to show that this is a good way forward for the game line! [/QUOTE]
