Fiore's work is a masterpiece! The reading was quick, all information was concise and the examples really helped a lot.

After re-reading the author's solo session reports on the book's Y! Group I was able to fully understand how the mechanics worked... and I'm eager to be able to try a tale of my own soon.

By the way, World vs. Hero is the first storytelling game that made me really think of it as a game. and not as a simple storytelling activity. On a critical view I should not call it a game (there's no way to lose, unless you consider a failed story as a loss), but the way all turns and rounds are played really shines, making the whole process interesting and exciting! While I read the book, I was jotting down mental notes on my own conflicts list for a dozen places and such, warming up my mind for a future game.
