Naturally...

I haven't enjoyed the storylines in recent years very much, to be honest.
I liked Bug City and most of the stuff before that, but what came after
was a bit so-so for my taste. (Note that I'm talking about source material
which advances the "universe storyline" here, not rulebooks.) Mike
Mulvihill seems to have definite ideas where things should go, but from
what I've seen of them they're not really going where I'd like them to.

For one thing I don't like the annual storylines, where we have "the year
of crime," "the year of the corps," and so on. Neither do I like the idea
of having everything stepped up a notch to some kind of higher stakes
game, like it was supposed to after Dunkelzahn died.

Not that I know where it all should go instead... :)

I guess that counts as an "off course" vote...
