Re: [BNW] GenCon

[Brian Ward <eswhanu@juno.com>]

Well, I got a hold of Brave New World... seems Matt likes time travel and
was willing to trade for a signed copy of Continuum (the stuff I just
wrote *SHAMELESS PLUG* www.aetherco.com/continuum *END SHAMELESS PLUG*

I really liked it.  The writing was great, the system is really easy to
understand.  My only complaint is the art work.  Not the quality, mind
you, but the theme.  I thought the artwork would be a lot darker and grim
than I saw, akin to Marshall Law and other dystopian works.  It just
seemed too light and "Golden Age" for me.

Well, that is the only complaint I have.  The rest of it is great.  :)
