 There is nothing wrong with the Background charts. Criminal history is often a matter of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

 A few weapons may seem strange but a little common sense fixes everything. Nobody had time in my games to question grenades or much of anything else.  ;D

I like the background creation too, its the best out there for character creation.  the biggest problem I have with the system is how easy it is to max out in your main skills before you even start out playing.  It never really offered any growth for non-powergamers.  Also the art system is a bit heavy to.  Overall it could be simplified quite a bit and still not loose the intended flavor.

But it was/is better than any d20 product out there.  D20 is really only good for D&D anything else is a waist of time and money.  Level based game are so eighties.

 Just make a cut off for the number of career repetitions and then there isn't as many high skill levels.

Never tried the RPG but the character creation sounds quite a bit like the old Traveller system

 Kind of like the I.C.E. system.

 Not as time consuming or as confusing.

Most of those complaints seem very minor.  I do have a problem with the amount of times that characters get charged with crimes when you take large numbers of background repetitions, but consiering the whole Dark Age of Techno Fanatasy setting, I don't mind the jams or weak grenade damage considering it's a setting where people are supposed to run up and assault people with Claymores.
Some talk of Alexander, And some of Hercules
Of Hector and Lysander, And such great names as these.
But of all the world's great heroes, There's none that can compare

I had a character who actually went the opposite way and wound up idly rich due to really lucky career roles.  Made it fun to come up with an excuse for him to be in the military.

Actually, I was thinking of converting the game over to either GURPS, or Deadlands.  I'm leaning towards deadlands since it already has a magic system (for The Art) and the combat system is ok (and nicely deadly).

Hmm.... possibly Godlike... since I *heart* me the combat system in that game.

I don't know if there are plans to re-release it though, and it really does need a make-over.  You can still find the old books around, though.
