First things first. The Accelerated Book of Approaches is a misleading title. Another reviewer likened it to a re-formatted blog post, but it's really a more of a forum post in pamphlet form, padded out with creative commons artwork- There's not nearly enough material here to warrant the word "book" in its title. There is a little bit of useful stuff in there, but most of it can already be found elsewhere on internet forums and blog posts for free, and the rest consists of a few lists of other game systems' attributes. If it were expanded out and given a full treatment and made into a full book, this could have been interesting, and as a freebie it would have been worth the download, but as a pay product (at any price, really) the Accelerated Book of Approaches is vastly wanting.
