steriaca Posted May 5, 2023 Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 (edited) Oops. Double post. Saved it by making it a review. Anyways, it's a relatively short book designed for putting together quick basic heroes for starting play for players who don't exactly have the time to do a fine tune build. The builds are not exactly balanced but don't exactly look thusly either (no 15d6 blasts or 8d6 killing attacks). It's good for a beginning character which can be balanced later on. Steven W. Otte isn't a bad writer for someone writing his first rpg book. The sample characters are ok (The Amazing Connor: a street magician turned the real thing, Blue Streek: a female reporter turned speedster, Dragonflame: a trained martial artist and legacy hero, Ergo: an energy being who was dying but gave his energy to that one person he could merge with, Golden Eagle: bird power armor user, Huntsman: an Australian Spiderman homage except he is also an employee of business who lones him out, Midori: a female alantian warrior, Sirenna: an Empyrean sonic wielder, and Stonehenge: a midevil son of a Miller who was changed into a brick by witches). Some are more creative than others. But the backgrounds don't sound bad really. If this book gets a sequel, would I buy it? Sure. $20 isn't a bad price for 91 pages. Do I expect a Heroes In A Hurry 2? Not really. Edited May 6, 2023 by steriaca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
