[QUOTE="Halifax, post: 2012597, member: 16242"] That's not very fair - you're measuring its success at doing something it's not trying to do. That's a bit like saying "D&D is a 5/5 if you want a fantasy game, but a 3/5 if you want a futuristic game". Well, duh! Except that, in this case, you give D&D a 3/5 overall. You've given it two scores, 5/5 for a d20 supplement and 3/5 for a d20 game. Since it's a d20 supplment, why have you given it an overall rating as though it were a d20 game? You yourself say that it scores 5/5 for the very purpose it's designed! Plus - "We're releasing a basic set of super powers and will have a full super power book later". And then you judge the book on the superpowers contained within? Basically - you were looking for a big, full d20 game with hundreds of superpowers. Then you picked up something that wasn't that (and never claimed to be) and criticised it for not being what you wanted it to be (as opposed to judging it for what it was). This, for those that didn't get it, is a SUPPLEMENT which lays the groundwork for future books, including THE SUPERPOWER BOOK. --I just thought of the example!
