En su momento, cuando lo leí en los 90, me pareció bastante la hostia como manual acerca de arbitrar partidas. Ahora, con una perspectiva bien diferente, me parece que tiene unas cuantas buenas ideas, aunque también adolece de algunos de los defectos propios de los juegos de aquella época (el énfasis en la NARRACIIIIIOOOOOOOOÓN y toda esa mierda). Ojo, que es mucho menos dirigista de lo que suele atribuirse a la editorial White Wolf de aquellos años.
En conjunto, puede ser útil para el que se inicia en esto de arbitrar, si bien gran parte del manual es muy específico del juego en cuestión (no es que sea malo). No me parece un desperdicio de dinero, pero tampoco algo imprescindible.
