4.0 out of 5 stars Heroes protecting the Earth from the scum of the DC Universe, June 12, 2001

This review is from: DC Universe Roleplaying Game Rulebook (Paperback)

West End Games's last production was the DC Universe. Using the Legend System, a variation of the last D6 system that marked its story with games like Star Wars, Men In black and Xena the Warrior Princess now takes us in the universe of classic heroes like Batman and Superman. This book is fully complete with information of events from the DC Universe since 1989 to 1999. The only reason it isn't rated with 5 stars is that a few rules like any first edition RPG are with some "errors" but nothing that can be fixed, so other books have more rules and you can find erratas in the web site or in mailing lists. The new rules are very easy and the Game Master doesn't have to check too many tables like the older book, the construction of devices is one of the most creative ideas for this version, now you can easily build itens from a simple Wacky Ray Rod to a Off-road Batmobile (obviusly if your character has the proper skills... And money). The first 128 pages of the books are fully colored and the other 125 pages are in green,black and white which makes the book worth its price.
