I e-mailed them to find out how it was coming and they told me it was at the printers. Needless to say I was a little bummed. Thanks anyway for giving it a chance.threedeesixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11817717042072437954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7600974191399728636.post-87998877741488090612009-11-09T22:21:37.034-05:002009-11-09T22:21:37.034-05:00Hey Rod, thanks for your comment!

Even if not all of it is used 'as is', there is still a lot in it to add to any fantasy BRP game. (Still, a table of contents would have been nice! ;) )<br /><br />I don't know when I'll find the time to go over it carefully. I'll want to give the BRP core book a decent skim first. Eventually, though, I plan to post my impressions. Congrats on getting it done, in any case. I wish that I could get my own RPG ideas into a coherent, publishable package!Akrasiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08734103159691571156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7600974191399728636.post-49381381248637940552009-11-09T20:39:21.574-05:002009-11-09T20:39:21.574-05:00Yah, I'm not 100% happy with the presentation ...Yah, I'm not 100% happy with the presentation of the book but it is my first and I am still learning.
