phoenix240 Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 Is The Ultimate Base a useful supplement? Generally I've found the Ultimate books good but some of them less useful than others. And I'm not sure just what the Ultimate Base might bring to the table. Bases seem pretty straight forward and I didn't seen much buzz about the book when it was released.

Scott Baker Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 If the base rules in the core book(s) satisfy you, then I wouldn't say rush out and buy it. If you want expanded detail about the various aspects of bases, and don't want to come up with it all on your own, I think it is a valuable reference. Like the other Ultimate books (for their areas), it expands on the detail and options around the various characteristics of bases and their equipment. It also includes chapters on bases in different genres (fantasy, modern, sci-fi) and provides a number of sample bases for each. There's also Kingdom rules that take bases to the next level (kingdoms, nations, etc.) This link is for the product announcement, including the back cover text: http://www.herogames.com/forums/topic/71731-the-ultimate-base/?hl=%2Bultimate+%2Bbase I bought it and found it to be an interesting read. I like seeing how others have done things. It helps spark my own creativity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drunkonduty Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 It's alright. Has some nice maps in it. But if you're on a budget it's one I'd skip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Champions 6E also has 3 Example Superhero bases (in addition to the base of the Champions). It deals with scenarios like "Underwater" and "Space Station", as well as Holding Cells, Traning Rooms and exterior defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
