[QUOTE="Bacon Bits, post: 9242964, member: 6777737"] I think it was over on RPG Pub (which very much dislikes the 2d20 system) where one of the former Modipheus employees posted about that. Essentially, they ran out of time to do final editing and clean-up. Nobody was happy with how the final book came out. They knew it had editing issues and important rules were buried everywhere. But the game was a KS, and they felt they were out of time and had to publish what they had. It sucked because reading the book you can tell that they love the setting and world.
