Yeah... I gotta say that was pretty much my reaction when the audio recording teaser became available. The attitude seemed a lot like "Since we've failed at everything we've done for the last few years I guess it's Miller Time. See ya!"
A total abdication of responsibility. Like the Captain resigning his command after hitting the iceberg and then having the gall to act like he's doing us a favor on the grounds that he will only make it worse. Sounds like he just doesn't want to go down with the ship to me. If I was played that message at the beginning of the campaign I would make it my life's work to find that cowardly bastard and shoot his kneecaps off for shirking his duties and responsibilities.
Hell, it's worse that just resigning. He's scuttling the ship before all the lifeboats are away. And to no real purpose that I can discern.
I myself haven't picked up the main book, but I am heartened to hear so many people say how much they like the rules. I was never a big fan or the ver. 2.2. rules and I really didn't like the ver.1 rules at all.
Nevertheless, what little I've read of the history makes my eyes bleed. I read a review somewhere that said (essentially) Twilight 2000 felt like it was written by guys who studied history, political science and ROTC in college. Twilight 2013 reads like it was written by guys who studied history by reading role-playing games.
What I've read, bears that impression out.
