5-star reviews for Vigilance Press' USHER Dossiers

[Vigilance]

Chuck Rice's signature superhero setting, the USHER Dossiers, is a hit with fans and reviewers!

Here's the latest:

The GM of my current icons campaign, someone who like myself has been gaming for over 20 years, says of the Usher Dossiers that it's one of the best written RPG supplements he's read in years. The art by Dan Houser doesn't hurt either. There's a lot of useful stuff in here for your house campaigns as well.

- Very nice supers universe with actual time progression, rather than Marvel/DC "floating time".
- An extensive history built to a jumping off point for your own campaign.
- As usual, the characters manage to feel inspired by existing comic characters without ever feeling like rip-offs.

Over the last decade, Charles Rice has shared bits and pieces of his amazing USHER superhero setting with us through various game systems (like d20 Modern) and publishers (RPGObjects and his own Vigilance Press), so I was thrilled to hear that he was doing this definitive work, this time for the ICONS system. The one thing that really impresses me is how the Vigilance Universe feels every bit as real as the Marvel and DC Universes - it makes you wish you could walk into a comic book shop and ask for the latest issue of Minuteman or Old Glory, or finally pick up a collector's copy of Amazing Stories of WWII #1 on eBay after years of searching. It's a great supers setting and the artwork by James Dawsey, Jon Gibbons, and Dan Houser really makes it come alive. This is a stellar piece of work and a great addition to the ICONS game system.
