Yeah. It's one of the few RPG's someone could point at and say "it's a board game" and I'd... kinda be able to see their point. There's plenty of instructions to narrate how you get advantages from particular things, but it still all reads as being a bit mechanistic.That was another odd thing about it.
It was a narrative game, but without the rules lightness I've come to expect from that genre. I'm sure there's a market for "heavy crunch narrative" but I can't imagine it's large.
I'd actually love to see 00's era Ron Edwards take on it, because it sits at a weird intersection of G, N, and S.
