A very good review: quite comprehensive, and very fair. Only a couple of minor quibbles: 1) perhaps you should've been clearer on what the GTA really is (i.e. the fact that you are actually a stockholder in Issaries, Inc. -- at least that's how it was explained to me (by Greg Stafford) in 1997; it may be different now). However, since you didn't let this apparent conflict of interest cloud your judgment in the least, I won't complain too loudly. 2) You mention RuneQuest's slow death "about 10 years ago." While I can accept that as dramatic license, it's worth pointing out that Avalon Hill was still publishing official RQ material through 1993-4, and that those final few products (including 'Sun County,' and 'Dorastor: Land of Doom'), far from nails in the coffin, were among the best and most playable of all the RQ3 releases.
But those are minor complaints about an otherwise well-done review. I'm looking forward to your reviews of the other books.
