@Kelly Pedersen

Fair enough.

Honestly, Banestorm was a terrible example, and I ought to have said fantasy gaming in general, at least in the opening. And please, keep in mind that I do like Pyramid a great deal, since I recently re-subscribed. I think there is something worth $7.00-$8.00 an issue in almost all of the ones I've seen since the relaunch. On the other hand, a mix of sample adventures, interesting background color, and quirky tweaks to add a new twist to genre books are certainly the ones that I am likely to get more mileage out of. The Horror & Spies issue is an excellent example of the combination of new uses for old tools (to shamelessly steal your toolkit metaphor) and fun flavor to spice up the same old thing.

Anyway, thanks for reading and setting me straight :)
