Authority d20 Hardcover ?

Saw this in the LGS yesterday ( Supers d20, based on the comic book series ) , and just briefly glanced through it. Beautiful book, with full color sections on thick paper. But yipes - $45!

Anyone have this yet?

Know of any reviews anywhere?

BFG

If you're a fan of the Authority, it's probably a must get. If you're expecting it to be thoroughly d20 though, you're going to be disappointed. It's 90% GoO's Tri-Stat with dual statted info. You'll need SAS d20 to actually use the d20 stuff, but it's a stand-alone Tri-Stat game.

Me? I absolutely love it, and it was worth every penny, but it's probably not for everyone.
 


I flipped through it at the store. It appears to only cover the Ellis portion of the run, and essentially fleshes out and expands that era of the comic (a wise choice, IMHO). It was, like many anime 'games' I've seen out there, more of a guide to the series than an actual game supplement, from what I saw.

But again, this was from a cursory review at the store. Teflon Billy's review of it [ulr="http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/reviews/index.php?sub=yes&where=active&reviewer=Teflon+Billy&product=TA1"]is right here.[/url] He's a little sparse on loving a 350 page book, other than to mention that he thought the synopses were well-written, it was graphically very good (featuring lots of Byran Hitch's work) and that the topic of playing insanely powerful supers is handled quite well.
