This review refers to the PDF/POD combo.
The DW2:SH is a beautifully designed upgrade to the original DW game. The PDFs come in two versions, one designed for on-screen viewing and the other designed for printout.
The game world probably is the closest match to the one encountered in the computer games "Fallout" and "Fallout 2" that I've seen for P&P RPGs.
The mutation system is rich, powerful and more "archetypal" than the one found in the new D20 Gamma World from Sword & Sorcery.
I still haven't received my POD printout of this book after 3 months, so I can't recommend the PDF/POD combo, but really think the PDF by itself is a superb purchase for any post-apocolypse game.
My VALUE rating is only referencing the fact that I still don't have the paper POD version after a quarter of a year.<br><br>
<b>LIKED</b>: Character Types, Mutations and general setting atmosphere<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: 1) Didn't care for the cause of the world's current situation, but that is easily remedied by GM fiat.
2) Didn't like that after 3 months I still haven't received the POD book - and would recommend people not order the PDF/POD combo - but HIGHLY recommend the PDF version by itself.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Excellent<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Disappointed<br>
