You know, I haven't read Book of the Dead. They say so little about it though, that it would be difficult to be inconsistent unless it wasn't even close.
I was surprised that more of the fixes weren't just collating data from other games and integrating the new setting. Beats, Tilts, Doors, and Conditions seem like good optional subsystems, and Aspirations don't actually do much.
I liked the changes to Virtues, Vices, and Morality enough that I was really positive going into the book and actually felt kind of disappointed by the time I finished. Probably because I felt that the core was a solid 'A' in terms of quality and even a 'B', which is normally very good (these are really rough qualities) is still kind of a letdown.
I like the book, but not without considerable reservation, and I'm a little let down that I don't feel that I could switch my game to the new rules set in mid-campaign without re-tooling everything.
