[QUOTE="Karl Green, post: 3101926, member: 1467"] hehehe... well I don't want to put the game down to much... this is all just my option of course... put simply, the art and layout were so very distracting to me that I really could not focus on the rules enough to really care. That sounds harsher then I mean to be, but in terms of layout and artwork, it really looks like a game book I might have picked up in the 80's. As I get old and stuff I find that layout can really distract me and turn me off. As for the rules, we I get the basic resolution system and the basics for skills and combat. It seemed ok but nothing inspiring (IMO only of course). It was fairly simply but I thought there were some wierd quirks of complexity added into the combat (damage vs. armor etc). In the end, I did not really give it a chance and read all the way though... cause the layout was just very... off putting for me. I still may pick up Steampunk, which was the MAIN reason I picked up Iron Gauntlet in the first place, but I will look at it in a store before I buy it this time is all ;) [/QUOTE]
