Edit: Wow, what a difference 15 years makes. These days most of my purchases are PDF. I still prefer hardback for sitting and reading, but PDFs are awesome for referencing, and for taking a bunch of books with me when I travel. I've revised my original rating to 5 of 5, because I no longer believe PDF only is a drawback. And apparently there was POD available back then? Who knew? Anyway, original review below, but these days I don't hate on PDFs

I hate ebooks. Especially ebooks set to weird paper sizes. A4? Who uses A4? Sure, the UK, but the hell with those guys (Tim: poke)

But I bought Legends Walk! even though it's only available in ebook. Legends Walk! is one of only two products I've shelled out money for in ebook form because I couldn't get a proper bound edition. (This was true back when I wrote it.)

I think that fact speaks for itself.

LIKED: I like the core idea: heroes deriving powers from ancient gods. I like the execution of the splats, and the variety shown (especially when you throw in the two splat books). Some people say the didn't like the lack of artwork. I like the lack or artwork. Especially today when so much art is simply filler material instead of useful imagery, I'd rather see the thousand extra words instead. DISLIKED: The system is crunchier than I like. But plain ol' rock/paper/scissors has one element too many for my tastes, so just about any system is too crunchy for me. I'll carve out what I don't like.

Did I mention I hate ebooks? Make a proper bound edition! I'm marking off points on the product just for that.

QUALITY: Very Good VALUE: Very Satisfied

A very well thought out product, one I wish I had written. I like the spin put of gods of myth and how people would interact and even play them. A lot of game gloss over gods?even books about them but not LEGENDS WALK. It grabs the subject like a WWE wrestler and doesn?t let go until the smack down in firmly place on your brain. <br><br> <b>LIKED</b>: Who wouldn?t like a game where you can interact with and be imbued with the power of a god? This game has a very clear and honest approach to how super heroic powers would manifest if mythical gods were involved.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: It could have used a bit more eye candy in my opinion but that?s a small gripe. Its like saying Citizen Kane would have been better in color

<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Very Good<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Satisfied<br>

Short comments below. <br><br><b>LIKED</b>: Light AND crunchy; interesting conflation of mythology and superheroes; good mythological info; core setting has some really cool ideas; and brief Designers Notes included.
<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: No illustrations, uninspired layout, and the game may be a trfile overspecialized to its particular setting and style to permit general superhero play.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Very Good<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Satisfied<br>
