Still, if your point is that the rules could be better organized and integrated, I'm down with that (plus a really good ToC and Index). BUT, having said that, I still prefer Steve's almost conversational style of writing in TFT compared to some of the more "technically correct" but less flavorful writing in things like GURPS or a typical wargame rules set.

I love the conversational style of the original rules. It's just the organization that could use a little attention. Thinking "Spells" and going to AW, thinking "Talents" and going to AM, oops, it's not there, is annoying, wastes time, and prevents pleasant play. Every person I have introduced the game to has done this exact thing and was equally perturbed by it, besides the lack of a good index for each one.
