apostrophen's review
4.0
Really enjoyed the take on superheroics, and though I'll need to actively play a few times before I "get" it, the ideas all seem to fly and I'm really enjoying myself with the character building.
Because it's a new-to-me system, I'm getting there slowly. The flexibility (you can do pretty much anything you want for your character) makes for a steep learning curve in places if you step away from some of the more basic ideas of superpoers (which is totally my own fault, so hey). But as a project during this time of being pretty isolated, it's the right kind of challenging.
I am finding a few specific bits hard to track down (such as the example character of Princess mentioning, for example, that one of her defense stats, Toughness, is "maxed out" at 12, but all I can find is references to how Toughness + some other defense stats can't be higher than twice the PL, which is 20, and her other base defense stats wouldn't make that happen, so... I'm not sure how 12 is maxed out).
