[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 2300502, member: 2067"] You kiddin' right? The Forge has one of the *best* core stories I've seen! A group of adventurers is pulled from disparate dimensions and thrown together by enigmatic entities who subtly and overtly push them to their breaking point every week until they break or dominate. That's *exciting* for a core story! Serious, they're doing this? That's sweet sauce! XP for powers has never struck me as a good idea, but I've just ignored Prestige Races. It'll be sweet if they're adding a better way to do 'em! :( Much like the DiTerlizzi art for PS, I thought the sinewy characters gave a real sense of style to the setting. Stuff like the pictures of Nemamiah on pg. 106 or Israfel on pg. 11 or pg. 109 (is that her on pg. 125?), or the protection creature on pg 65, the Palethian on pg. 337...the pic at the beginning of ch. 9; these rank as some of my most favorite pictures in any RPG supplement! They're bold and expressive! I think the "inhabitants" chapter of the core is a little bit overwhelming for a lot of people, furries or no. 12 races (the core has 5, 7 if you include the halves...that doubles the number!), of which only 5 are given in copmlete write-ups, with the rest using the old 2e "If you wish to have all the info, buy our other book!" approach....the races are genuinely cool, but it's harsh...
