Exactly.    We love character creation in our group.  We like it so much that we dont mind how deadly the game is for characters

I loved the detailed character creation.  When I finished I felt like I had a real person, not just some stats on a piece of paper.  I liked that going up in an experience level didn’t make you better at everything.

Especially when I’m finished with my P&P iOS app!  Will there be a big market for it? No.  Am I having a ball working on it? YES!

>>> I loved the game as a kid. In full disclosure, we didn't create characters exactly rules as written, nor did we play the game rules as written. Beyond that, it was my first fantasy roleplaying game, so I had no point of reference for what a good game was or wasn't. Now, I've seen games come and go since then, and there are a few other systems I now prefer to that of P&P, but in the moment, in the 80s, I loved P&P for what it was. In this vein, it did not fail - agreeing with Scott's opinion. It provided a lifetime of memories and great fun. Who didn't love rolling on the Special Events table?!
>>> That said, I read the review and thought it quite funny - and to be perfectly honest, I think I found it funny because I?definitely sympathized with many of the authors sentiments.
