I don't think anyone seriously disagrees with this, Steve. (By
the way Paul Walker is a player; Warrior Games is Paul
Green.) There isn't enough on rec.games about the vast range
of games available and everyone tends to get aerated about
trivia.

I'm not myself keen on the Polaris postings, though, because
they don't tell me the sort of thing that I want to know about
a game: its theme(s), its pace, the options available, its
complexity, the effect of other players, NPCs etc etc.

All I've gathered from the newsletters is that it's an sf
trading game with c.3 active positions, while the GM letter
indicates that it's open-ended and that the established
players are pushing for more power.

I was impressed by the game's range when I wrote it up, but
the coverage here doesn't seem to reflect this range.
