Another RPG bundle - Heroes Unlimited
Sep. 5th, 2022 07:46 pmA repeat offer of Palladium's superhero RPG:
( Heroes Unlimited )
Last time I said "OK, I might as well be honest, I'm not a big fan of this system - it's a fairly early attempt at a generic superhero game and in my opinion others have done it better, most notably the Champions system and GURPS Supers. Having said that, it's reasonably good value for money, and covers most of the key mechanics and ideas needed for most superhero genres. I personally prefer other systems, and at the moment don't want to run any superhero game anyway, but opinions differ." The "early" in this bears repeating - the game is more than 30 years old, this offer is for the 1998 edition, which is now 24 years old, and it's an unfortunate fact that the older the rules system, the clunkier it tends to be. There are more modern and more easily played superhero RPGs out there, and unless you're feeling nostalgic this may not be the best choice.
