The guy said he enjoyed it which is as good as you can expect from a reviewer, and I think it's rude to tell a reviewer that he's wrong. We risk coming across like frothing fanboys if we pound him over the head with things that he did "wrong," and he'd probably be justified in pointing out that other games don't require additional instruction to get right.

I don't know about the rest, but it's easier for me to vent here and then put it behind me. I'm already doing my part to spread the Gospel of Kromm in other ways. :)

Indeed, I mentioned it not to call up the Legions, but to point out some positive (Really, it scored pretty well. :)) GURPS "press".

It's a good review, and if they got hung up on a few things - hey, it happens. Remember - "As long as you spell my name right"!

I didn't say be a dick about it. I said pass along the correct info. Like saying hey you complained about these points. Here is what you should know. Like hey there is a couple monster manuals these are the titles. Or hey you got hung up on x. Here is how it is intended to be done. etc. Be polite and be informative be helpful.

It's already been pointed out to him in the comments.

I e-mailed Rupert and told him about this thread.

Good thing he didn't review GURPS: Vehicles then.

[Anders]

We should send him the new rules for bows from Pyramid...

Thanks. I'll admit it did push the boundaries of sanity, but Steven was pretty far around the bend as it was, so the percentage delta-SAN was lower than it could have been.

[Anders]

Wouldn't have a low SAN, so the percentage would be higher?

I liked the article myself, it's just not something I'll use in my DF game... :)
