This system combines the familair ideas behind a dice-pool game, but removes the actual dice. I know it sounds strange, but after reading the rules, it actually makes a great amount of sense.

The character generation rules are detailed but leave enough room for creative players to develop any hero archetype possible and then some.

In addition, the rules are not strictly limited to the world or characters of Marvel Comics. With a bit of time, anything can be recreated in this system; video games, comics, movies, anime, you name it.

The sheer flexibility of the system alone makes it worth owning, especially to anyone with a creative streak.

The Dragon Compenduim is full of unique and effective options for players and DMs alike. Filled with feats, monsters, class options and equipment, this book brings a lot to a gaming table... which is what it should be.

I know that there a quite a few people out there that wanted to get their hands on a book chock-full of classic disscussions on lore and famous characters, and while the name and tagline could lead you to suspect that was what you were getting, Dragon Magazine was decidedly more than that; it was a tool to improve the gaming experience.

And as a tool, The Dragon Compendium come through. It takes some of the more unique ideas presented in the magazine and updates them in order to make them more accessible to a modern gaming troupe. As a player and a DM, I highly recommend this book.
