I've no idea why, but the paper quality seemed stiffer too. Better, though, than the faint smell of sick that my 1st Ed. PHB exuded.<br /><br />Anyway, the two scenarios (the RQ caravan one and the ninja one) are quite good, showing different ways to present a scenario (time/event based in the first case, systemless in the second).<br /><br />The nijna class is worth a second look, as the way they do things is more akin to skill-based system (and not far off 3.x) than the norm at the time - each time your ninja character goes up a level you get a number of increases - these can either be used to increase existing skills or to "purchase" new abilities, rather than the standardised parcel of increases that you get under 1st Ed. And there's no table with level titles either.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03157200797287827304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913319789564397699.post-12274079219988982122013-04-04T07:34:06.452-05:002013-04-04T07:34:06.452-05:00I should probably read it at some point.
