7 / 10JDCorleyA very solid book with a great deal of flexibility. Takes "splats" about as far as it is possible to go with them. The GURPS version loses some of the charm in favor of a good deal of organization. The main problem with the original book is this same organization. Trying to get through character creation quickly is a nightmare of flipping forward and back.
7 / 10TancredWould have been higher, but the system is lacking.
6 / 10TrippyHippyCompelling central premise, but terrible implementation and organisation of rules. It's the sort of game you read and say 'if only' as it could have been a major hit. There isn't anything quite like it still - it's as if the creators were caught in two minds between Toon-like silliness and Vampire-like cool.
6 / 10Matthias WasserSuch a beautiful concept, such an unfortunate execution. There's an Ideal Form of IN floating out there; but it remains unwritten.
6 / 10owe for the fleshBrilliant in conception, mixed results in the execution. I love this game despite it's (many) flaws.
3 / 10SJBenoistWonderful source material feels sapped of all life when pushed through the grinding wheel of GURPS. Even though I find the orginal rules lacking, their has to be a better solution than this. And I like GURPS, alot.
2 / 10Simple ManSystem is practically useless, setting doesn't seem to know what it wants to be.

Ratings Explanation

The following components make up a rating:

Ratings. The ratings that users enter into this index are each averaged into the final rating with a weight of between 0 and 4, with weight based on trust algorithms.

Reviews. Each review is averaged into the final rating with a weight of 8. Sometimes reviews can skew high, but they also display fan interest (or disdain) in a product.

Content. The average rating of each content--before its own bayesian weight is inserted--is averaged into the final rating. The weight of a content is equal to its own weight divided by the number of contents, and divided again if it only appears in a fraction of editions.

Bayesian Weight. A rating of 5.00 is inserted into the final rating with a weight of 35. This is an arbitrary weighting of the average rating that keeps things toward the center until they're better rated.
