IMNSHO (and I used to be a friend of Scott Bizar's when FGU was still
around
on Long Island so I don't consider myself biased against it...) it's the
FINEST database of Medieval and Feudal economics I've ever seen short of a
Doctoral
dissertation. It's also not too shabby as far as teaching the culture of
Medieval and Feudal Europe. It also has a HUGE magical database covering
most
"historical" magic (i.e., it described and tried to quantify all European
magic
from myth and literature). That being said it sucks wind as a PLAYABLE
system.
It is a nightmare of detail and "realism." I DO recommend that everybody
pick
them up for the info and use another RPG system (I wonder if anyone can
think
of one...:-)?) to game out the situations. It is WAY to far over on the
realism
side of the "realism Vs playability" scale.
