But there's no poem! No announcing products without poems

That Phil Masters fellow's been busy!

Blank verse is Kromm's raison d'etre. I'm sure that he'll be along to do this formally soon. I just thought that I'd drop a marker.

Actually, what Kromm gives us is haiku. The scansion does not have five feet per line and is rarely iambic, but the syllable count is spot on.

Nice book. I just skimmed it but several parts look very interesting. I like the social bits and detail, including the new Fright Check type.
Gadgets are also cool though I have not run the numbers yet to see various options.

Overall this is a very nice and welcome book that is definitely a well thought out our setting/genre building book.

Hmmm... I think I'm going to need more information before I can make a purchase. That's uncommon, usually after reading the description I know whether or not I want a book, but this time there's precious little to go on. If you can give me a better idea of the sought of book this is, and its contents then you'll probably have yourself a customer.

Have you read the preview pdf? That usually gives me a pretty good idea.
Its s setting/genre design. Not much crunch but a little between status, Fright Checks, some modifiers on certain advantages and the converting devices to Steam Punk. A lot of setting advice and covering different flavors.

Mmm. The Contents Page and Introduction in the preview PDF should give a reasonable idea of the material.
