I'll definitely be listening to the podcast myself as soon as practically possible.

Well that's disappointing. When you're the biggest expert available you have the right to dominate the convcersation but when the other interviewee is Frank Frey... well, if it was me I'd be taking a back seat, if for no other reason that the interview time is finite and how often do we get to hear from the legendary Frank Frey himself?

Funny, the complexity and gritty realism are two of the main reasons why I like it so much.

He doesn't find fault with the system. For that matter, he never claims to have looked at it or tried it out. Frank says that he has it on PDF but that he didn't care for any of it.

Also pretty disappointing. I think the T2013 rules are excellent, and there's nothing stopping those who don't like it's backstory from using that rules set with the original T2K timeline. At least it sounds like Frank took a look at T2013. I'm disappointed that Scott would voice strong negative opinions about something he's never personally read.
