I don't know where to start with this book except for WOW! I am so glad to have been a kickstarter backer for this product! To be able to take a fantasy-heavy rpg like D&D and to convert it into a superhero extravaganza is one thing, but, to fill it with this much lore and rich detail is something otherworldly. From the deftly created city of Beacon to its surroundings this book has everything any Dungeon Master or indeed Player could need to embed themselves in the world of superheroes.
Locations come to life with grandiose descriptions but are also grounded by the childhood joy of being a superhero. Villains and Kaiju feel like they all come with their own threat and the minion statblock is something I am so happy to see in here.
The artwork brought a smile to my face every time I stumbled across it, if I'm honest it just broadened my smile because of how joyful this book made me feel.
My mind races with both character possibilities and story possibilities for this setting. Even if the stories don't pay off this book offers adventures across THREE tiers of play!!
There really is something for everyone in this book and I implore anyone who has even just glanced at it and thought "that's cool" to pick up a copy. You will not regret it!
