I was hoping it was a text story or graphic novel.

The 'class guides' for Thilling Tales are interesting small purchases for d20 pulp gaming. Each guide presents the basic rules and concepts for an 'advanced' class, and Femme Fatale delivers here largely as expected.

Unfortunately this particular class is heavy on the 'rules for role-playing' aspect, giving rule-interpretations of abilities and feats that should logically be role-played out. As such, if you're playing a pulp-oriented game that emphasizes character interaction, this class may not be the best choice for you. On the other hand, if you're rules-heavy, this may give a quantifiable 'appeal' that rules-lawyers may demand.

The class has been given a d20 treatment many times and in many formats. As such, as a stand alone product, this may not be of value to you if you have a similar class from another game (such as Adventure!). As part of a larger set, though, it makes up for this deficiency by adding a common archetype with flavor. <br><br> <b>LIKED</b>: The guide presents a pretty solid, basic overview of the Femme Fatale class, giving you all the basics you need to play it. <br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: Unfortunatley, the guide gives little more than that. More examples, more 'meat' to the guide would have gone a long way to being more value for the purcase.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Very Good<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Satisfied<br>
