Most RPG books are written in a style that is similar to a technical manual or encyclopedia. In a way I think this is perhaps it's biggest innovation. It has a narrative/poetic feel to much of it, gone is the dry disembodied informative tone that most RPGs have. Part of this is due to it's unique writing style. When I first purchased Veins of the Earth several months ago I read through it in several days, totally absorbed in it in a way that was unlike most other RPG product that I've read. I am writing this after having DM'd a campaign using it so I am familiar with how it works in play. This is an in depth review or analysis of Veins of the Earth.
