Actuyally Drekhead, I woulda sent the review directly to the guy if I'd
known he was on the list. But I'd have still posted it. Writing that bad
needs to be read down in public. And I am waiting for the next Columbus
Con to meet him in person. After the thing is in print is way too late for
"constructive" criticism, it should have been "criticised" before it
hit
print. I figure I got cheated out of the money I paid for it. And my
local game store doesn't give refunds if the material is no good.

My foot in my mouth? Don't think so. Poor writing will get bad reviews
and lousy writing gets pans in public. Maybe I'll save some one a dollar
or two.
