Review: But I found this addition to the trilogy an excellent companion, adding history and explaing a few things about Simkin. If you are going to read the trilogy, you definitely need to read this book, too.

Summary: Details are always important, especially for RPGamers...
Review: Well,well. I'm some sort of a RPgamer myself and have specialized in weird/uncommon RPG'S. When I learnt there wuz some Dkswd Adv. Rulebook, I couldn't help myself, I HAD to get it. And I loved it. Everything in the background which appealed to all Dkswd Trilogy readers is detailed here. Very detailed, I should say. Definitely a must have for those wishing to understand the mysteries which were only lightly rushed in the novels. I DID playtest it, for those of you who're interested in playability. Well my players hadn't read the novels, but they all thought the background wuz HUGE!!! Excellent! Captivating, and all. But they also all agreed about one thing: The game mechanics, though inventive, really need a serious rewriting. For one thing, players wanting to indulge in powergaming won't be restrained a single time. The skill system in terribly limitative, something like a D&D first ed. Opportunities for defining character psychology really lack: This is Thimhallan, damnit, not a b----y dungeon! Those details explain why I won't give five stars to that book. Sorry. But the rest is definitely cool. I mean it: Check it out! It's worth the bucks, even for non-gamer types. If you're a gamer, you know what you gotta do: Buy it and make up your own rules!!!

Review: What's the deal with using rock, paper, scissors to resolve conflicts? That really threw me. The background material was excellent, but the actual game mechanics seemed awkward. But I never actually got enough people together who wanted to play, so I don't know first hand how well they work (or don't work.)
