The three magazines that I had were speaking so highly of this book that this was what prompted me to buy it. They were: "Traveler, White Dwarf and (of course) Dragon (but I'll conceed that this one was not really unbiased". In Montreal the book sold so well that there was a shortage because not enough books were ordered. I remember a friend going to Ottawa then Toronto go get his hands on one copy. If the book was problematic, it was not so in our gaming community.In fact, the bad critics I saw/read about the book got out around the end of the 2nd edition in a magazine (I don't remember the name) that was not even remotely related to RPG but had "experts" ranting about the OA and a few other RPG books.I wonder if you might still have the issues that are saying that the book was bad and that are dated from that era. I don't have the magazines anymore but my memories of the ones that I read were unanimously praising OA. Your claim is a total surprise for me. Unless the critics were not part of the RPG community?</blockquote>
