Oddly enough, the higher the tech level went, the lower the storyline seemed to. Though there certainly were good points (Victor Milan's stories come to mind), but once it went Dark Age? PFFFT.

I think the current classic BT people are badly hobbled by the Wizkids stuff- if someone could push the shiny red history eraser button for everything post 3060's or so and get rid of the WoBbies, the game would be the better for it.
