[QUOTE="jdrakeh, post: 4016558, member: 13892"] I though it was, yes. I mean, it wasn't brilliant or anything, though it was 100% functional, simple enough to learn in an evening, and managed to do a kind of alternate reality Highlander very well right out of the box. I have no idea if it was ever formally reviewed by anybody without an agenda. I [i]do[/i] know that several bitter Highlander fans 'reviewed' it in forum posts which basically amounted to lambasting the authors for 'stealing' from Highlander. Honestly, I can't think of any system that is specifically designed to handle ageless characters mechanically-- that is, I can't think of a system with specific rules for flashbacks, knowledge spanning centuries, etc. Not even the Vampire games support these things [i]mechanically[/i] (well, the knowldge bit, though it's very poorly done). This being the case, I think that Danny's suggestion of HERO or, for that matter, any generic system that you happen to personally take a shine to is what you should use. [Edit: Wait. I [i]can[/i] think of one game that provides specific mechanical support for ageless characters -- Nephilim. But it's really not at all suited for anything resembling Highlander.] [/QUOTE]
