[QUOTE="Karl Green, post: 2514276, member: 1467"] You can grab the Pocket Edition for $20 and it has everything BUT the gazer and the monsters. It will give you a good idea about the rules though before you plop down more money for the full-colored book. I personally love the system and it is also my second favorite, after, strangely Grim Tales. I have not looked at Iron Heroes yet but from the previews I am not overly interested. I have run a short game (12 or so sessions) and played in a longer one (20 or so session) where I played a Scholar/Sorcerer and it was HEEPS of fun. NOTE that the Sorcerers have some cool powers they are NOT that powerful, you really have to be careful and ‘hide’ behind allies if you want to survive. My guy used a lot of TK abilities and some Hypnotism powers and for some funny reason, I was the one who would generally take out the main bad guy each and every game :D With Greater Telekinesis, I used ‘Hidden Death’ a lot to throw items around and smack people, catching them flat-footed etc. I also would use the Mesmerize (basic Hypnosis spell) to ‘freeze’ guards etc so that the rest of the party would come along and chop them down while they just stood there. In the end I was gaining a lot of Corruption and turning a bit ‘evil’ because we ran into a few daemons etc and I would enter into a kind of mental combat with them, because it caused them to ‘freeze’ and again the other players could go whack them good… but it ALWAYS cause me Corruption points (you are basically ‘looking into the face of evil’ and it changes you for the worst). Overall the game is a LOT of fun. Barbarians and Thieves are way cool, and I love the Nomads and Pirates also. Lots of nifty little abilities here and there. There are to many feats IMO but they are sooooo cool, I just wish you could get more ;) I never got to play him, but my Border with Armored Stealth and super Listen and Spot (he was 5th level and I think both those bonuses were close to +20 each) would have been a lot of fun… someday ;) [/QUOTE]
