The stand-out section of Armory Reloaded is the martial arts styles the way the World of Darkness adjudicates fancy combat maneuvers is to make it incumbent on players who want to use them to buy them. Quite a bit it is ironic, that despite me being a very 'rules light' Narrator, I mostly purchase books with lots of rules in them. Since I run my own setting, my own stories, all that, I don't have need of a lot of what some gamers call 'fluff'- compare it to the term for rules, 'crunch.' I'm not a big fan of the terminology I don't want to downplay the atmosphere, ideas, or hooks present in 'fluff,' & I like reading it- books that are all 'crunch' are unreadable, & things like Shadowrun really suffer without their trademark worldbuilding intruding in (the demise of the 'comments' in Shadowrun books contributed mightily to my abandonment of the game).
