Sounds like a bloody disaster all round then. When I pay my money, I expect to get a game I can sit down, read, and play, not have to do half the work myself. Pity, it could have been an excellent system, but from this description, it sounds like the basic rules introduction from a game no-one has bothered to finish yet.
