And Baltimore it is.
First impressions:
1:
LOVE the layout. At first I thought it was going to look a little too crowded or "busy" but the two-column format breaks the page down into easy to digest format. The snark-sniping between Harry, Bob, and Billy is both informative and vastly entertaining. Reminds me a great deal of the show-quote format in the Buffy and Angel RPG's, with a little levity to break up the rules and writing.
As are the add-on post-it notes and margin scrawls. Neat way of making side and foot notes without actually... well ya' know, using them.
1a: Stat layouts are perfect. Clean, brief, and informative. Exactly what they
should be.
2: This IS the way a setting should be made. The town, the characters, the supporting characters, all in a easy-to-reference style. Easily one of the best "You can run it with just this" examples I've ever seen in a RPG.
3: My only bad point: Concerning the full game, this seems like it's gonna be a
monster PDF to print out. Even at work (a local unnamed office supply store) I see a huge load and print time. (Any chance of an easy-to-print format, or too late in the process?)
More to come later, but I wanted to post my first impressions.
Kudos all around Gang! Fantastic Job!
Now to go tell all the "never gonna see the light of day" crowd to go stuff it.
