At it's core, BoL is perhaps one of the best RPGs I have ever played. Simple and intuitive, the rules blend into the background and let you get on with the adventure. It includes just the right amount of background and setting information -- enough to get you started and get the creative juices flowing; but not enough detail to bog you down and overwhelm the senses (i.e., the Forgotten Realms Syndrome). No overreaching metaplot (a good thing). No fiddly skill system (thank goodness for "careers"). Elegant magic system that allows the players to create their own spells while at the same time maintaining the flavor of S&S magic. What's not to like?
The only changes I've made are to convert the 2d6 resolution system to 3d6 and to change the default setting to the Hyborian Age.

Poorly done, old hat, computer generated graphics. Pretty much useless for my purposes.

Decent content, but way too pricey. This whole product line would have been better served as a collection of articles released as a single product.

Overall, some good advice. Nothing earthshattering, but well-founded nonetheless. If they continue to be priced at $5/each I won't be picking up any future releases, however.
LIKED: A few good nuggets of information.
DISLIKED: Cost.
QUALITY: Acceptable
VALUE: Disappointed
