IMHO, there's no such thing as a bad Robin Laws roleplaying book, and this is no exception. The Dramasystem dramitic roleplaying rules are a beautiful thing, and I'm looking forward to using them more in the future. The procedural system, on the other hand, I found to be nearly unusable, at least until I read the advanced procedural rules in Blood on the Snow.
That said, once a group gets used to the dramatic rules, the procedural rules should hardly ever be necessary.

This is really good, and I want to play it some day soon. That said, the layout is not great; I found it distracting on several occasions, which it should not be. Also, some of the weird little interjected quotes repeat within a few pages, which is fairly strange.
