SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I got my copy a week ago and have been reading through it. So far I love everything about it. I don't know why I don't get tired of retro-clones that are rehashing the same game over and over, but I don't.

The art is spot on as well. 10/10

As for some of the criticisms. While I prefer ascending, I have no problem with either descending or THAC0 because I know how to do math in my head. There is an alternate called Target 20 that I particularly like.

I think the Thaco thing is silly in both ways.  It's not hard to convert using the 19-rule.  Just use whatever number it takes to add up to 19.   If descending AC is 3, then it's ascending 16.   

Also, don't write it that way in the first place.  Just don't.  Ascending is better.  Period
I'm glad for you if you like the top selling game of the genre.  Me, I like the road less travelled, and will be the player asking we try a game you've never heard of.

Addition is not superior to subtraction.  Both are kindergarten level mathematics.
