[QUOTE="The Last Rogue, post: 8610150, member: 61935"] Really well-said. And, I agree, by & large, with the sum of this. I too felt like he took the wrong lessons forward ... at least seemingly. Marvel Heroic, Sentinels Comics RPG, Icons, Masks, & more have succeeded because I think they've done exceptionally well at tapping into the thematic, narrative, comic book-y aspects of the supers rpg genre. The crunch here at first blush seems so grounded in an D&D/Pathfinder vibe...it was almost like system shock to read it. Was getting Champions vibes (though it IS NOT that). However, I wonder if, like you said, a lot of my initial takeaway is in the presentation of the material. Certainly, I think the format of this book (and the tepid adventure at the end) are not doing it any favors...but, the more I mull it over, I do wonder if in play it will sing a bit more than I am giving it credit for. Hopefully, I'll have time to put it on the table soon and see. [/QUOTE]
