[BNW] Dissapointments




 After waiting, for some time since I placed my order for Brave New World,
it arrived. Needless to say it's a nice package, but....BUT BUT>..
there are always but's.

There isn't enough distinction between some templates  Scrapper vs Bouncer.

I was extremely disappointed that the templates didn't include Ferals:
Animal like powered people. Psi's : Mental Powered People, among the
Templates, I mean come on this is supposed to be a superhero game but they
left out those two plus several other standard Superheroic Archetypes--I
know they are trying to go for lower powered than most Super's games but the
GUNNER? come on, that isn't an archetype, the least they could have done is
provide some variety.

Now don't get me wrong I like BNW, but it's a stretch for me expecting so
much from the Webpages, and from things I'd heard--what I wanted was a New
setting for creative superheroes with low powers--what I got was Feng Shui,
I mean truthfully the Templates could almost be copied from that game,
almost...

I system isn't innovative, it isn't new, it is very similar to about half
the other systems out their
(Deadlands was much more innovative and original)

So what am I saying--I expect more from the creators as it is I couldn't
have written BNW in my sleep and still had an innovation or two...PLEASE, I
beg them if any creators are listening, make sure your supplements are at
least three times better in every way to the main book.
