Re: [WW] Different system

[Michael Frost <bat46902@yahoo.com>]

The system uses only two d10's, which speeds things up
considerably.  One of the main things I love about it
is the use of the drama deck.  Each player gets so
many cards, which can be used during the game to
enhance rolls.  The cards also reward you for doing
non-combat things so you don't end up in endless
gunfights.  There are also subplot cards which add to
the story.  I can't exactly do a review here, but you
should definately check it out.
