Luke Baumstark –
Just bought this, so (full disclosure) I haven’t read the whole thing. The five-star rating is more (for now, anyway) an expression of my excitement over one aspect of this PDF, which I don’t see mentioned above, but which folks should know about. Here goes – it has UPGRADES for gearforged characters that they can buy and have installed. I have always loved the notion of a gearforged character, but the mechanics (pun intended) left something to be desired. Now there is a real reason to play as one! What a neat idea!
