[QUOTE="Psion, post: 2480832, member: 172"] We'll leave "well written" aside, as you being the author on one side of the fence, I daresay there might be a little room for bias. (And further, writing is a measure of author not company, and one of the best Mongoose freelancers is now working at WotC full time -- an AFAIC, he's now the best writer on the WotC staff -- so trying to pin authorial quality on one company should be pretty apparently a flawed way to look at things.) So to one being WotC and the other not being -- that is pretty much precisely why they complement each other so well. WotC books live under the dictate of WotC's R&D and developers, so there are certain things that WotC books won't do. One of those things is re-invent their mass combat and vehicle combat systems. That's one of the places that I give the nod to Seas of Blood, because OMCS still remains one of the best d20 mass combat systems out there. It fills a hole that WotC won't be filling. That said, the WotC style and experience has turned out what I consider to be a better book when it comes to character centric options. [/QUOTE]
