Review: High quality, interesting mechanics - My game group had a lot of fun with the Arkham rpg. We decided to try something new after years of only playing DND and the change of theme and setting was welcome. The book is of excellent quality and for the most part the game is straightforward. We are all waiting for a new campaign module for the game. We played through terra antarctica and had a blast. This book has pretty much all you need to play the game. The mechanics of the game are very unique, so that was a nice change compared to the standard d20 systems.
Review: Pulp fun - Excellent rules set. Encapsulates the feel of fast pulp driven adventure without getting bogged down in the minutiae of rules. I would be interested to see the rules reskinned for other settings/genres. Simple and easy to pick up. Character creation is relatively quick as well. The initial price was what kept me from getting it at first but I am glad I finally gave it a chance.
