5.0 out of 5 stars Best RPG System Ever Designed, June 13, 2000

By 

John Karner (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Champions (Paperback)

Boy was I shocked to find this book out-of-print. One of the easiest systems to ever use, AND it was FAIR! You KNEW your character and villians were evenly matched using this point based system. Not to mention DISADVANTAGES was probably the best addition to a gaming system. It definitly made people think about rounding out their characters more, and made the whole game much more enjoyable. Please, PLEASE, continue to publish this outstanding game!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fantastic Super-Hero Role-Playing System, December 17, 2003

By 

"paladinsun" (NJ United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Champions (Paperback)

I have run campagins using several of the other super hero role playing systems out there and none of them come close to this one. I just wanted to add my recommendation for this system. The rules are on the complex side at first but reward the players and gamemaster with a very balanced and fair system. In a genre where it is often difficult to duplicate the myriad of powers a character can have and on top of that balance one character against another this system excells where all the others I have played fail, often miserably. The character generation for Super Hero characters in hands down, far and away the best ever.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is my favorite game engine, May 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Champions (Paperback)

The best part about the Champions system is that it is truely a multi genre engine completly striping the game universe away from the game mechanics. The result is the best superhero role playing game written, and it can still be used for other genres. Many have tried to follow down the multi-genre path but I believe it is best tread by Champions.
