The Inside Scoop on Gaming

This book details the Ethereal realm, which exists between the corporeal and the celestial. You find dreams in here, old Gods, and all sorts of interesting ephemera lying about. I liked it for the most part. The scenarios in the book related more to places, and not to events that had to take place in order to allow further scenario developments in the Revelations cycle. The writeups on sorcery were well-done, but why couldn't they have been put in another book? I felt like I had to buy this book for rules that took up less than one quarter of the book. I like how this book was put together, the art, and the story possibilities contained within it. I give it a "B." For $18 you get an essential expansion of the original rules, and that's okay-- I guess.

Style: 4 (Classy and well done)
