Amazing is what I think. Seriously, my wife and I got in on the Kickstart for this book, and you will find my name in the credits. I'm an old RPGer, and the system is great. The data and background on the books is awesome. There is even a picture of Larry Correia in the armor section. This book is great if you just want background information on the MHI books, or if you want a fun RPG. Either way, this book is a win.

Wonderful sourcebook for the universe of the author and the game uses HERO 6th, which I love. Definitely recommend this to all my friends.

Great Handbook and RPG

I was looking if there is an urban fantasy setting for the Hero system and have found this. It's by the same author who wrote the rule books. It's quite a rich setting and it made me curious to check out the novels on which it is based on. I'm not sure if it's the most original setting, but where else do you get redneck Elves?

Good Rulebook for this sub-genre of the game. Recommended

great fluff... crunch of this ruleset may be over the top
