Doesn’t quite fit my review concept, as I’d call this more of a reference book than anything else, but having just sat and read through the whole thing, I may as well do a quick write-up!
The Fate Core system seems more approachable to me than the classic Dungeons & Dragons thing; I’m hopeful that I’ll have a chance to try this at some point. The Atomic Robo universe feels like an absolutely perfect fit for a game like this, particularly the more episodic (or rather, issue/volume) structure of the stories. I also enjoyed that there was more material in this book than I’ve seen in the actual comic—the timeline, in particular, includes quite a few things that have yet to make an appearance in the comic, and helped to build out the world even more. Fun!
So hey, if you’re interested in RPGs, consider this one.
