It covers a great deal of ground! The "skill compendium" part fills only 11 pages out of 39. Rules for designing wildcards, defaults to and from wildcards, additional benefits for wildcards, and using wildcards in play fill 23 pages, or about twice as much space. (The remaining 5 pages consist of end matter: title page, table of contents, introduction, and index.) Speaking as the writer, while I was required to include the skill archive, I was more interested in the expanded rules for design and use.
