And for what it's worth I love original characters, but sometimes players just want to be like Batman, and I'm cool with that.Aoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00145284080419502886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-995220052347472921.post-11248387687632742172011-05-22T20:36:40.292+01:002011-05-22T20:36:40.292+01:00Dear Aos,
Thank you for your comments and feedbac...Dear Aos,<br /><br />Thank you for your comments and feedback. I am not sure what you mean though by "sub par execution." Do you mean the artwork or the book itself?<br /><br />I have to disagree with you about the Point Buy option. The randomly rolled creation method forces a player to think about a rationale behind his character's Powers and is more inspirational than trying to come up with something original <i>every</i> time.pookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09521454715536568847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-995220052347472921.post-9313963182393724982011-05-22T20:15:10.159+01:002011-05-22T20:15:10.159+01:00ICONS is a fine game.

Personally, it's not the style of the artwork that bothers me; it's the sub par execution. <br />I'd highly suggest anyone planning on running the game pick up the ICONS character folio (the character generation software). <br />Point buy is only as bland as the character concept behind it.Aoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00145284080419502886noreply@blogger.com
