Darkness and Light

This is a really great supplement, reminiscent of the old "Rogue's Gallery" for AD&D, except instead of just blocks of useful stats Mr. Rice fills this with a generous assortment of really well-developed villains. This is exactly what every GM of "Vigilance" is going to need - the pre-made game stats, background, and character makeup of some very imaginative NPCs.

Also included are new classes, feats, disadvantages, powers, and an entire section dedicated to some ideal prestige classes for the villanous types (this is what I've personally been waiting for).

Well done, Mr. Rice!

In my opinion Vigilance is an ingenious adaptation of the d20 system. The author, Mr. Rice, was able to seamlessly capture almost every element imaginable in the super-hero genre in just one neat and well-organized book of rules. The classes, feats, powers, and origins all help to make characters truly three-dimensional. Origins and Disadvantages also lend a hand in creating ideas for spontaneous adventures or entire campaigns that can revolve around the character?s weaknesses and history without ever getting tired. Nice touch there, it shows a lot of attention to detail. Each rule, feat, and special power is also easily envisioned (unlike some games, where it often takes a stretch of the imagination), because you can really see super-hero or comic book characters, in film and literature, with these same powers. It helps stoke the imagination in a lot of ways. Really cool!

One of the best things I noticed, technically, was the ingenious way the author made powers like "skills", with increasing ranks giving increasing abilities. I think this system blows away traditional feats, which primarily give a one-time bonus, and add a new dimension to level gains. It really feels like gaining levels equates to gaining power; I like that a lot.

All in all, Vigilance is really well-written, well-researched, and inspired!
