5.0

One of the most beautiful, comprehensive, complete and engaging books for D&D. It is worth just for the wondrous descriptions of the Realms and the endless adventures it offers. A must-have in any RPG library.

Slightly better written than its predecessor, it is also a very fun reading. Recommended specially for WoD fans of Mage.

Got more information but lacks the mysticism of the previous edition. Still one of the best RPG's to storytell for its versatility.

This is how the words "gothic-punk" are meant to be felt. I don't have any game of Mage, Werewolf, Vampire or Changeling that doesn't have a piece of information from this extraordinary supplement.

People hate it, I love Samuel Haight as a character. Yes, is munchkin, and it's meant to be to strike fear and hate from almost every supernatural in the world of darkness. His tale is as fantastic as any tale of a terrorist leader.

One of the best Superman stories ever written. The depiction of the other members of the justice league is also incredible and well done. The best part, curiously, is the resolution, which is mindblowing.

The film noir, magicpunk setting that will enrapture you with its many dark plots, adventures and misteries. It feels like fantasy mixed with post war pulp novels, and they do it greatly.

I was expecting something different for this "historic" setting for the Trinity world. It's superhero, but no so much. Is more like the TV series Heroes, but again has some of the camp in superhero comics. It is very difficult to classify, but let you create very Watcmen-like superhero tales. Overall, very good and the rules were streamlined a lot to make it very playable.

The best antagonists ever depicted for an RPG: the people who can manipulate destinies! Cooler is impossible. Yu-shan also rocks!

As a thriller, it is very entertaining. As a novel loosely based on reality, is complete junk.
