10 / 10Ian_the_SkinnyOne of the best RPG manuals of all time. The Atomic Robo comic is a very fun adventure comic, full of quips and weird science and Nazi-punching. The Fate rules are a very fun RPG system, perfect for PCs who jump straight into trouble and then have to MacGyver their way out of it. So you have a peanut-butter-and-chocolate sort of combination here. But what really elevates this game is the writing. It is breezy, conversational, fun! But it is ALSO clear and precise, and is still the gold standard for how you explain the Fate System. Managing that balance is much harder than it appears, and while some other games come close to Atomic Robo’s level, I don’t think I’ve seen any beat it. The one complaint I have about this game is that it has a new character creation system. This system is supposed to be simpler and faster than the traditional method, but in my experience it is really not. This is a minor complaint however, and easy to fix.

Ratings Explanation

The following components make up a rating:

Ratings. The ratings that users enter into this index are each averaged into the final rating with a weight of between 0 and 4, with weight based on trust algorithms.

Reviews. Each review is averaged into the final rating with a weight of 8. Sometimes reviews can skew high, but they also display fan interest (or disdain) in a product.

Content. The average rating of each content--before its own bayesian weight is inserted--is averaged into the final rating. The weight of a content is equal to its own weight divided by the number of contents, and divided again if it only appears in a fraction of editions.

Bayesian Weight. A rating of 5.00 is inserted into the final rating with a weight of 35. This is an arbitrary weighting of the average rating that keeps things toward the center until they're better rated.
