They should really fix that in Cabaret Chicks on Ice!

Am I the only one whose mind flashes to Granny Weatherwax preparing to suture a wound with a rusty hatpin, and saying "Let's do some good"?

You missed a few syllables. It's supposed to read "Cabaret Chicks on Icelander". I can certainly understand your apparent excitement about the project, my friend.

The thing my group has mentioned to me is, "They better fix the armour weights". I would add that I'd like to see options for more (and less) detail and the abilty to customise armour (so that I could more effectively model historical examples.)

Again, I'll avoid any comments that might conceivably reveal secrets.

Dan Howard is one of the authors. Allow me to repeat, Dan Howard is writing a chapter. No prizes for guessing which one.

For those left flabbergasted by the above, Dan Howard is a well known armour guru, historical expert and grognard who has spent a good part of his adult years ranting and raving about historically incorrect armour in RPGs.

Is his material focused more on the ice, or the cabaret chicks themselves?

The costumes, of course!

Sweet! If what he has written has any resemblance to his old Pyramid articles, I will be beyond happy.

Strong resemblance. Letters in a row going from left to right, spaces between them. English language. Roman alphabet. Practically identical.

Some discussion of realism versus good game would also be valuable, in the section adding more detail to the armour rules.

If armour is too light, then all the PCs will opt for the heaviest armour that they can afford, which kills variety and stomps on its corpse. Likewise if armour is too heavy, no PC will ever wear any. I don't want either of those to occur.
