        [Dave Bailey] I agree about judgement, it's just that people have gone a long way into developing their own systems with even seeing the final copy of Herowars, I know you guys in the GTA have a fairly advanced idea mind. I feel like there's more harm than good being done at the moment, it may be that the system is great but by the time it arrives our view will be soured a little which would be a shame.

        The 1st 3 chapters are great but make me a little irriatable have to wait even longer for the final thing.

        Apart from the character creation what else is really good about the mechanics?

        Dave.
