Okay…I broke down and bought an e-copy of Smallville RPG from Margaret Weiss’ bunch. I’m a huge fan of the Cortex system, and after hearing about the changes for the setting, I figured I’d go ahead and have a shufty at this rules set. (I’ve not watched the show, but I do like a good superhero game.)
I’ll do a real review in a day or two, but my initial thoughts: it’s a soap-opera RPG with stuff for supers tossed in. Some of the mods could be used to good effect in Cortex (there’s a Cortex Plus in the offing that I suspect does just that.)
I’m a bit iffy on it, but might be interested in running a test game just to see how it plays. More to follow…
