This was never my favorite version of D&D (since I'm not a huge fan of racial classes), but I did really enjoy it before I got into AD&D. The fact that the two are almost completely rules- compatible was a huge help. It didn't take very much to bridge the two. The page layout is also iconic of an earlier, simpler time in games.

Pretty good update. Includes everything that would've required a second edition of Blue Book nWOD for all the added stuff from other expansions, like soul handling. This also folds in a chunk of several other books like Armory and Second Sight.

Only downside is that it's a memory hog. Slow to read on tablets and slower to print.

Pretty good product all told. Someone did their Sentai research. Only drawback is that it isn't too clear about being d20 Modern based instead of 3.x D&D based.

Also dropping it an additional star because of the excessively glitzy color interior.

Good product, especially for people who're trying to port the World of Darkness to other settings whose native RPGs have kludgey or confusing game mechanics (like almost every Star Wars RPG that I've seen to date). This takes the grunt work out of the two hardest parts- spaceships and alien species.

I disagree with a previous reviewer about this needing more "examples of some of the concepts in action." Doing so would've simply created a canon setting, which is exactly what this product doesn't need.

Bumping it up from 4 to 5 stars because of the black-and-white interior. I'm really tired of color backgrounds and pictures in my RPG books.

The first thing I noticed when I opened this PDF is that the interior of the book is in color, although a lot of the art is still black-and-white. While this was something I've seen other reviewers demanding from the original Witch Girls Adventures rulebook, this isn't something that really helps and wasn't something I really care about one way or the other.

The art quality has gone down since the original release. I'll be honest, some of it was pretty bleakh this time around.

The most constructive thing I can say is this: This book has the same feel as the old 2e D&D 'net "guides" from the days when PDFs weren't commonly available. Some good content, but some that makes you wonder just what the heck the authors were thinking.

A nice, cute indie RPG for those of us who are tired with all the gloom, doom, and corporate chicanery of more conventional settings, but also don't want something overly saccharine. This looks like a wonderful introductory title for a young gamer, better than the blue book D&D that I got from a used book store and enjoyed to nigh-destruction when I was a pre-teen.

The art has a cartoony feel, which isn't bad for a game like this. It gives a feeling of Kim Possble and Winx Club, which is pretty appropriate for the target audience.

This book does have a few down sides, however. The most noticeable is the author's over-dependence on autocomplete and spell check while writing, which leads to such gems as a 1950s-style broom with "lots of crime accessories" instead of "chrome accessories."

There's also something about the layout that bugs me, but I can't quite put my finger on it.
