Overall, this is an evocative RPG that's just begging to be played! This book contains a very nice overview of the UY universe and characters for those who aren't familiar with it (and those who are!). The system, while somewhat complex due to myriad options, has a sort of elegance when you fit it all together. Attributes and skills are represented by dice instead of numbers, which may be difficult for some people to adjust to, but it works very well to show the influence of attributes and career on skill use. The book is filled with well written examples drawn from the comics and translated into game terms, as well as many comic excerpts. Not only did I enjoy reading this, I am looking forward to running it. Also, being able to print out the tons of sample PCs is a nice PDF benefit.
