| 7 / 10 | DrFaust | Unfortunately skewed towards the Iron Age style, but still a very neat system. |
| 4 / 10 | Simple Man | Stats are not geared toward supers play, probably held over from Godlike. There is too much bloat in the skills as well. ORE (specifically Hard and Wiggle dice) have some revision, but it seems rather half-baked for the years of playtesting that supposedly went into it. Hard dice basically need to be deleted to make this game viable, and various special dice should probably be limited as well. I did like Ken Hite's chapter, though (and could have done with more of it and less Godlike rehashing). |
