Overall - I had to rate this at 2 stars out of five - not because the writing was bad, or that the author's point of view was objectionable or anything along those lines...

I gave it a low rating largely because the purpose for which I purchased this product was not met.

I'm currently running a campaign set in New Mexico 1867 and one of my player characters was offered a chance to become a territorial deputy. As such, the first words out of the player's mouth were "What are my duties, what laws do I enforce" and other similiar questions.

If you're looking to find answers to those questions - they are sadly lacking in this booklet. I will have to try and find some online resource that explains what laws a territorial marshal is supposed to enforce, where his jurisdiction lies, and what he's supposed to do from time to time. In all? This product may well be worth your while as a game system and what have you, but as a means of fleshing things out, I found it sub-optimal. When specific details matter, this PDF did not meet my needs.

In all, the product would have received a 4 star rating. The editing was GOOD, the presentation was GOOD, and the layout was GOOD. Toss in the fact that the detailed information contained within was GOOD, and you'd see why I'd rate it at a good SOLID 4 star product. If you want to run a campaign set in a gritty urban environment, this would be a worth while product.

The problem is, the security restrictions placed on the PDF document by means of internal document security - was higher than any I have ever used from other game companies such as SJGames, R. Talsorian, etc. Security settings folllow these guidelines (right click on PDF page, select properties, then security to see what the security settings are for your PDF).

Printing Document Assembly Content Copying Content Copying for Accessibility Page Extraction Commenting FIlling of form fields Signing Creation of Template pages

SJGames for example, only disallows Document Assembly and Page Extraction. R Talsorian only disallows Document Assembly, Page Extraction and Creation of Template pages. This particular product?

Disalllows EVERYTHING save for Printing and Content Copying for Accessibility.

How did I discover this fact? I went to copy the word "otorhinolaryngology" so I could google its meaning. When I could not copy and paste the word to Google's search field, is when I dug deeper into the permissions at the security level and thought to myself "Wow" and said to myself "not going to buy another product again with this kind of restriction."
