I've only played a single game of Glitch, and I did not play it very well. Here is what the experience of playing Glitch poorly felt like: uncertainty quickly gave way to delight. The raw indulgence of playing a (retired) world-destroying nether god was liberating and silly. Now, there are games out there where enjoyment derives from mastery, and maybe this is one of them. It was definitely made with deep thinkers in mind, and if you brave the furthest waters, I'm sure you'll find all sorts of treasures. I'm writing this review to let you know that splashing around in the shallows is still an absolute blast.

The description of the book already contains the word "yacht-knobbler," what are you doing down here in the comments? Buy the dang thing.

For real, though, it takes work to take the iconic effects from the DB splatbook and transform them from player options to usable NPC traits. All the work of rebalancing and simplifying is done for you, and there's three pages of light, but helpful commentary at the end for how to use these characters in and out of a fight. It's a useful time-saver.

For those of us without encyclopedic knowledge of the Solar charmset, this will save precious hours of your one and only life, when putting together NPCs.

For those of us who do have encyclopedic knowledge of the Solar charmset, this is even more valuable. It helps you convince those other assholes to run the game for once instead of just pestering you to ST.

I like all of Rand's products. That said, this product in particular threatens to ruin my game of Exalted because it is sometimes more fun playing the elementals my character summons than it is to play my character.
