I was recently looking into buying the new Hackmaster Player's Handbook, but I shied away a bit at the price, especially considering I've only ever played in a twenty minute game of basic at Gencon. I won't mind paying sixty dollars if the game is good, because the book itself is of an exceptional quality, but I don't know much about Hackmaster. What are the pros and cons of the system, and would you recommend it?
TL;DR: Is Hackmaster any good?
