I heart the setting. I'm a vampire fangirl, so I do have to sit back and admire the rough outline of the power structure and politcs that they have -- but that's as far as it goes, because most of the RPGs I've been involved in actually pick up the scraps that LKH has given us and runs away to the wild to nurture and feed them until they grow into great big monsters of awesome.
Generally, it's when the porn sneaks in and takes over that the game is dying.
So as a political thriller junkie, I really, really, reaaaallllly hate that LKH can be so goddamned stupid with the rules that she's set up and frankly assumes that all the monsters will be good and play by them, and keep their claws and fangs to themselves. Because Anita. Is. Right! Even when she's wrong, she's right! *facepalm*
God, so much potential gone to waste. These books could be awesome with a side of awesomesauce if only the author paid more attention and maybe respected them a bit more (I'd say love but, well, we all know she's far too attached to certain aspects).
