THE Book for the genre

Saturday, December 29, 2007
Reviewer: Remjin from Illinois

Review: If you like Hero, and you like the more "modern" genre, this is the book to get. Sure, as with all Hero supplements, you don't NEED it, but it sure does make things easier. There is a lot of stuff pre-built for you, and there's a lot more in information as a whole. The description above already gives you a good idea of what is in the book, but let me add that there is also quite a bit of data on ballistics for various calibers and ammunition types in game terms so that you can model any firearms you want to make by the standard set herein. Some, who are too much into the real life ballistic terms may disagree with the various values given, but they are meant as a guide to play and have their own logic without delving into the subject minutely. As always, you are given free reign to build it how you see fit.
