1.0 out of 5 stars
Should be called the Art of Hellsing (NOT an RPG book), September 19, 2006
This review is from: Hellsing D20 (Hardcover)
If you are fan of Anime Art and a fan of the Hellsing series, then this book is for you. If you are looking for a book to run a d20 campaign in the Hellsing universe, forget it. The first 47 pages are nothing more than episode summaries. Page 48-66 are character summaries but do not contain any role playing stats or features. Pages 66 - 83 describes the locale and world of Hellsing. Again, there are no maps or RPG stats to help run a game. Pages 84 - 112 are nothing but art from the show. Finally we get to game info on pages 113 to 135. However, instead of the high quality, color, glossy pages, of the previous chapters, we are given standard black & white pages. Sadly, even the last 2 pages of the B&W section are devoted to artwork and a list of the cast of the show.
This is a poor excuse for a role playing supplement and functions better as a coffee table book. I love Anime and especially loved the Hellsing series but I gave this book only one star because it is NOT a role playing supplement!! It is an art book. I'm glad I only paid $5 for it from a bargain table at DragonCon. (And yes, it is on my coffe table.)
