Not to mention an RPG based on the Dracula movie of a few years ago. Someone I
know owns a copy with a binding error (a bunch of pages are in the book twice :)

Not me; I toyed with the idea, but when I started putting in some numbers, it
quickly became apparent that PCCS can't really accomodate metahumans,
especially trolls. The tables don't go far enough to include those huge Body
and Strength bonuses :(

Somebody ... argh, who was it again ... Mike TGC I think (a name old-timers
should recognize :) did an adaptation of the hit location/damage table of the
basic PCCS game. I mean the basic basic table that takes up one page, not the
normal basic table of two pages, or the advanced tables that require a whole
book by themselves :) The way it worked, IIRC (it was 1994 when I last looked
at it), was that each hit location had a wound level associated with it, and if
you hit that's the base damage you caused regardless of the weapon you were
using.
