I don't know what the status is either. I know Carmen was going to work on it, but not sure how far along he is.

I still love it, but there are tons of problems that fill pages that could have been cut out. A thousand carbon copy OCC's does not mean a diversified setting and selection. Needing to buy a copy of Beyond the Supernatural to find out about the Perception rule and how to use it is a ripoff. There are tons of things I feel are messed up regarding PB and filling a book with useless fluff does not make a book suddenly a better value. Take the reality that every WotC book is in full color and almost no PB book even has color beyond the cover.
Both companies have their ups and downs...but what you get from each is a lot more equal than you'd think.

We're talking about the same company that has its rules spread across multiple books of multiple genres, does not put its rules online, updates its errata about once a year (if that), and is reknowned for delays that stretch into the years, right? I like Palladium...but please PLEASE don't act like they're some kind of saviors to the RPG world.

As for the Artwork, well, as far as I'm concerned it's in the eye of the beholder. Some people look at a Pollack painting and see nothing but amaturish crap while others hold it in high reguard. I look at Duchamp's work and think he was lazy, others think he was a genius. I look at most renassance paintings as little more than boring wastes of canvas, with a few exceptions of course, but others see nothing but mastery in them. Art is subjective. What you don't like, someone else obviously did, and what I like you may hate..
