 Terrific Supers game with Little Support.... December 12, 2005
Rowdy P. Scarlett (Winston Salem, NC United States)
It's too bad Guardians of Order (GOO) has ended support for thier fine entry into the Supers RPG field. I helped playtest this edition along with my RPG group in Cincinnati, Ohio.
This is a terrific and underrated game. The GM does have to put alot into it to make it work as some of the powers can be a little vague. The tri stat system works well here and if you have played BESM, you should have no trouble picking this up.
Like any RPG the players are what can make or break a game. The rules are well written and easy to understand. The interiors have some great art work (bested only by Green Ronin's Mutants & Masterminds) and the layout is easy on the eyes.
There are many sample characters within as well. The back ground info in the book is very interesting and the book is just a good read in general.
Pick yourself up a copy. You will not be disappointed.

Long, long ago I picked up the little gray book for Big Eyes, Small Mouth. I fell in love with the simplicity of the rules. Then I thought, "I wish they would add skills to the game, that would be cool." Ta-daa, out came BESM revised. I fell in love again. Then I thought, "BESM would be perfect for a super hero game. Again, wish granted. They came out with the Tri-Stat superhero game to end all superhero games. The history is rich, the characters are interesting and best of all the system is easy on the eyes. You won't find mind numbing table after table to make your PC. You can be as complex or easy as you want. After reading SAS I thought, "I wish that I could work out the stats for The Authority." I wish I had four wishes because they just got the rights to Stormwatch and The Authority.
Silver Age Sentinels rocks the house! March 23, 2003

If, like me, you've been looking for a solid rules-light approach to the supers genre in role-playing, this and only this is the book for you! The fast and slick Tri-Stat engine from Guardian of Order's multi-genre anime game Big Eyes, Small Mouth has now been put to use for the supers genre. I've played Hero, I've played Aberrant, I've played Trinity, I've played Heroes Unlimited. This is the best supers game I've played thus far. Rules light, fast playing, with an emphasis on emulating not only the powers and mechanics of comics supers but how and why supers are, well, super *heroes*. Definitely worth your money. Buy one for yourself and another for a friend.
