(If I were REALLY cynical I could say that bringing this item to these forums was like shooting fish in a barrel anyway )And like Ash I don't think that Thork has really covered himself in glory here, but then nobody ever really does in this kind of exchange. (having read the thread through two or three times, I think that the tone used in a couple of posts could be misconstrued (deliberately or otherwise), after all sarcasm and irony do not translate well to the internet )Carl

It's no U.S. state secret, its in the thread.

Kingofpain89 wrote:I'm definitely on the other side of the fence on this opinion. Most of the small press stuff I've picked up from the "golden age" of role-playing is absolute garbage with a few exceptions. Most of the stuff I've picked up recently from small press publishers is of very good quality and immensely useful.
