From the introduction: This guide should not be used by anyone that the GM feels is either to young, to immature, or not a good enough role-player to handle the topics presented here. User summary: Often considered a satire, the contents of this netbook widely were ridiculed, railed against, or mocked on various pre-World Wide Web computer systems. Nevertheless, it remained the "number one" download on almost every system that hosted it. The "final" version, dated Jan 1, 1996 (which came in two versions with varying content and format) included a summary detailing the controversy. Entirely devoid of graphics, the document today seems rather silly and benign.
