Better late than never. <br />The production value is low, the layout sucks, artwork is sparse, and when I read it there were some interesting ideas in there but overall it's not anything I will ever probably use. I no longer remember or understand why I backed this project.Patrick Mallahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04906639025904535922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-16482032551305924112015-08-10T20:22:01.057-04:002015-08-10T20:22:01.057-04:00I was one of those that added to the comments on t...I was one of those that added to the comments on the KS when mine arrived after that post. I liked what I saw and was impressed by the book construction, but as others have said, the glow had otherwise worn off, so I skimmed through it quickly and then put it on the shelf.<br /><br /> At this point, I am thankful that money has become tight for me as it makes it much easier for me to pass on backing Kickstarters. There are some great ideas out there, but I have definitely been burned one time too often. So it is very hard to choose to back an unknown entity regardless of how exciting the project seems.G-woulfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18336463036435761982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-47637812493874344512015-08-10T12:28:16.036-04:002015-08-10T12:28:16.036-04:00I was one of the people who got his.

The main thing I remember is how there was a quote from Arneson in the book saying they never used classes. Then the game goes on to list the classes you can use. I always thought that was pretty funny.
