If I didn't already have 2 or 3 copies...
This game is brilliant, but unplayable as written. Curiously enough, a lot of people on the Universe mailing list say that its quirks are because it was written by "wargamers", as opposed to roleplayers.
Funny, Gary and Dave were both wargamers...

Hey, could someone expand on the "brilliant, but unplayable as written..."?
And Will, if you convince me, I might offer to take a copy off your hands...

I think Grognardia had something on this recently.
It's not really unplayable, it's just a bit crufty for those of us who like to roll up a character in five minutes.
It does have some innovative rules and systems.
