Well, First things first, in case you didn't know, this is a one-shot, beer-and-pretzals style game. PL5, M&M Adventure.

Also, it's not worth the $5.00. <br><br><b>LIKED</b>: Well, the IDEA was rather good, and some of the puns are sorta funny. (MIB...With Aprons!)

This adventure would make a good "one-shot" if you are out of ideas. <br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: Well, it's EXTREMELY setting specific, filled with Railroading, VERY straightforward, the characters aren't well-designed.

This is NOT an adventure that can be dropped into another campaign. Everything about it SCREAMS setting-specific...It just wouldn't WORK unless you were playing a member of "Spoo"...

Also, it's PL5, so you'd have to boost the characters...and they're not really worth it...<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Acceptable<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Ripped Off<br>

As exactly described in the description. The game is an adventrure for PL 5. The game is more geared toward Spy Humor then Super Hero. A change of pace for those wanting to try something new. PL5 was used for a more realistic feel for highly skilled Agents. Boosting your characters is optional only if you want to convert it to a Super Hero Adventure. Thank you again or your input.

Not very happy with this purchase at all. To start with the description doesn't mention the fact that it's a prepackaged adventure for PL5 characters who are assumed to be members of a secret organisation called... wait for it.. SPOO.

Yes this is a comedy adventure at 1/2 the standard PL of the game. As a result it's of very little use to most Mutants & Masterminds GMs.

Layout is basic Word standard, apart from the covers and the NPC sheets (which are quite well done). The adventure is very badly organised there's no description of the SPOO organisation, and it's not clear whether the SPOO characters at the start of the book are supposed to be pregens.

On the plus side nearly half this PDF's pages include maps or floorplans. Unfortunately they are very basic, looking like they've been done with the Draw function in MS Word. None are gridded or have any scale listed, and all look like the artist has simply drawn a square box and put a few shapes inside.<br><br><b>LIKED</b>: The basic idea - that a certain worldwide coffee shop chain is the front for a secret conspiracy, is quite a good one. But it's an idea that deserved a much better treatment.

If you wanted to introduce players to the M&M system, this might make an amusing one shot.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: Poor quality. This is not worth $5

But my main beef is with the failure to correctly describe this product on the RPGNow product page. Had this said "A pre-prepared humourous adventure for 2-4 PL5 characters", I would have known to pass this by.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Poor<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Ripped Off<br>
