5.0 out of 5 stars Simple fun or detailed fun; your choice!, August 19, 2009

This review is from: DC Heroes Role Playing Game (box set) (Hardcover)

DC Heroes let's you play a famous superhero of your choice: Superman, Wonderwoman, Batman, even Robin or lesser known DC Comics heroes like the Atom or Plastic Man. But the best part for me is being able to choose from dozens of powers and abilities listed in the book in order to create my own hero. Want someone who knows karate and can breath fire? You can do it. The "system" itself takes a little getting used to, but then it's fun. It looks like math, but it's not. A normal person who can lift 200 lbs has a Strength of 02. A weaker person who can lift only 100 lbs has a Strength of 01. An Olympic gold medal weight lifter who can lift over 800 lbs would have a Strength of 05. Spiderman, a Marvel Comics character, is well known as being able to lift about 10 tons. That puts him at Strength 09. It goes on from there. I like this and the Marvel Super Heroes RPG, though this seems "richer" in some ways. Lots of character stats available out on the web, too!

5.0 out of 5 stars RPG, September 3, 2007

This review is from: DC Heroes Role Playing Game (box set) (Hardcover)

A really interesting game with completely different mechanics, based on a different mathematical scale to any of those used before, where one point higher was double the ability. Tons of stuff included in this very cool looking box.

I wrote a review on this item once before saying what was missing in the package. I was contacted by the vendor saying they would send compensation and some of the missing stuff if I took down my review. I have seen neither.
