Community Reviews
Until about 2005, Project: Redcap solicited product reviews through a Web form. Now, we use the Wiki instead. Here are the comments from the former Project: Redcap site:
FAQ Rating: ** (6 reviews; 1 *, 3 **, 2 ***, 0 ****)
- Not, bad, not wonderful. Got it at half price and didn't regret it.
- The screen is useful, the Grogs funny and the other texts wonderful
- A more beautiful storyguide's screen than this of the 3rd edition.
- Some reprints of articles in old White Wolf mags, some random essays and several examples of interesting grogs. Mostly superseded or repeated elsewhere.
