My primer is designed to allow players without access to the SJ books to
understand events in my SJ campaign. I appreciate Adam's enthusiasm and
compliments (Thanks, Buddy!:)), but I want to emphasize it is _not_
designed to take the place of the TSR SJ boxed set.  For one thing, it
draws heavily on my own house rules and rules interpretations.  For
another, if it was a simple summary of the TSR set it would be illegal, I
believe.
