Despite the FATE system offering published material for seemingly every genre imaginable, Base Raiders remains my favorite use of the FATE ruleset. It's unique setting offers a delightful gameplay loop of role-playing, combat, and acquiring cool new gear and powers.

Boiling Point is an essential product for Base Raider fans; it provides an intelligent and hillarious series of encounters and dangers and new skills and gear that can be plugged into an existing campaign or as the beginning to a new adventure. It also has sentient, dimensional-hopping sharks.

This is a fun supplement for Base Raiders, focusing on the distinctive angle that BR takes on superheroes: amateur DIY heroes exploring dangerous abandoned bases. Here are some crazy traps to complicate their raiding. I am especially entertained by the more comedic elements : the satirical "Gritty Gas" that turns victims into hyper-fragile 90's-style antiheroes; and the Shrink Ray, which takes an absurdly "realistic" approach to the physics of reducing people to microscopic size.

A very good product if you're into supers.

The game deals very well with the problems in supers games: The PC's being too powerful or calling other too powerful NPC. The first half of the book is an interesting read covering an alternate history from early in the 20th century, building a rich world and setting the stage for PC-centred games. Several campaign ideas are also pitched, if the GM need extra inspiration.

The second half is the rules - mostly Fate, which I personally play a lot. Some additional rules are present. I like the most the added rule for superpower levels of skills, which really makes the characters feel like the have a super-power and not just being all-round powerful.

This is an essential supplement for Base Raiders. The Boost Patches are both unique items that seasoned Base Raiders can use to create advantages, and they also are a great method for introducing new players to the game.

I love the game's premise and the re-imagining of a world with super powers. The setting and NPCs are pretty good for building a varied world. I can't say much about the rules being a Wild Talents man but I assume the FATE stuff is fine.

It does need an index and some copyediting though.

I really enjoyed this take on the super hero genre. No mysterious 'accidental' super heroes, if you've got powers you worked for them.

I also love the approach taken in the rules. I thoroughly enjoy Fate and I think 'strange' Fate is an excellent approach for handling super powers in Fate.
