Re: [HOE] Are the books 'too big'?

["Jason Adkins" <livingirony@hotmail.com>]

Hmmmm,

     I think I've used a pretty good portion of most of the HoE books thus 
far.  Of course, I don't use the exact info involved, and my players may 
never know when something out of the book is facing them.  But I have used 
quite a bit.  Whether as plot devices, behind the scenes antagonists, or 
just far distant visuals.  I'd say, I'm up to about a 70% use, but I sure as 
hell don't see any sign in the future of exhausting the detailed, yet absent 
of details at the same time, books that Pinnacle has released.  I love em'.  
It's like they bring you a huge ass appetizer plate at a chinese restaurant, 
with lots of choices that you may never actually finish.  I dig that.  Oh 
yeah, and their adventures?  I have just a handfull of words to say about 
them, and you TSR players will know what I'm talking about......NO FREAKIN' 
BOXED TEXT!!!!  I hate that, "drag your players by the nose", and GM in a 
monotone drone.  Grrrrrrrrrrrr..........  One more praise for Pinnacle 
writing books that are "too big".
