DriveThruRPG reviews for May 30–June 5, 2010

During week of May 30–June 5, 2010, I reviewed the following products for DriveThruRPG:

  • Dwarven City by Randin Graves for Sonic Legends. “Dwarven City” is another good offering from Randin Graves, who also contributed “Dark Ritual” to the Sonic Legends line. (Read more at DriveThruRPG.) ★★★
  • ICONS by Steve Kenson for Adamant Entertainment. I came late to the ICONS hype party, and missed out on the first wave of preorders. Therefore, I rushed to DriveThruRPG at 12:03 AM on June 1 to purchase the PDF edition. I’ve lost a few hours of sleep since then staying up late to read the rules, and I’m pleased to report that ICONS lives up to its advance billing. Aside from a few grammatical and typographical errors (for which I’d subtract half a star if the rating system allowed half-stars), ICONS is a wonderful product, with a solid rules set, entertaining prose, and artwork that produces a look and feel perfectly matching the game’s tone.

  • Palace of the Galactic Emperor by Christy Carew for Sonic Legends. “Palace of the Galactic Emperor” by Christy Carew does a great job of evoking a cinematic sense of epic power. (Read more at DriveThruRPG.) ★★★★
