Re: [DL] WoTC review of Deadland d20....

[Derek Carmichael <dcarmichael@apple.com>]

That certainly wasn't very flattering.  Although in some ways I find it
funny.

The author complains about the artwork being recycled, except for the cover
(which he doesn't like as much as the Deadland's Players Handbook).  Why is
that an issue?  If you've never seen Deadland's before the d20 book, how
would anyone know?  (Except for whiny reviewers.  ;-)

My other "favorite" was this piece: "Some new skills have been added, all of
which seem fairly reasonable additions for the world, and all have
interesting uses. One notable exception is Tale Tellinı, which I find to be
rather useless from a playerıs perspective. Itıs interesting, flavorwise,
but skill points are probably better spent elsewhere."

"...player's perspective"?  Meaning it doesn't give them a combat advantage?
BTW: Does d20 not have fear levels?

Maybe he should actually play the game? ;-)
