Character Compendium 1
Publisher: Aegis Studios

A highly worthy addition to the ranger of characters! These characters should be welcome at most Hero Kids RPG games.

The Bladesinger is fun to read from start to finish, the Defensive Shot ability of the Combat Archer is just inspired, the Guardian is a flavourful alternative to the Knight, the Seer is a really different style of character with a very strong focus on roleplaying story elements instead of combat without becoming useless in combat, and the Telekinetic just feels like the best aspects of that concept with their ability to move things with their mind as well as use their mental power to aide or defend them. Overall, I'm very pleased with this PDF and can't wait to see them in action in a game with my son. If I could have changed anything about them, i would have been to adjust the card layout to include the character protrait as per the official Hero Kids Hero Cards. I have my fingers crossed this omission doesn't cause any confusion over which standee is associated with which hero when several of them are used at the same time in a game. Still, for $0.99 I can just write the character name on the standee base and move on from this layout detail! Definitely worth checking out. Even if you somehow don't like these characters, the individual character abilities are creative enough to be mined for any original characters yoo may be making.

Armory 1

I bought Armory 1 as soon as it came out and really liked all of the items. They were all creative and inspired story ideas, just by reading the cards. It was fun deciphering the alliterative sources, plus some of them were really neat implementations of their concepts. Vault Pole, Shrink-A-Drink, Fee-Fi-Fo-Fungus, and Sandman's Dust come to mind, although they are all great. My only criticism is that the cards print out noticeably smaller than the official Hero Kids cards when using the same printer settings, making them a bit annoying to use in a deck of cards. If they were upsized a touch (say 10% or 15%) it should correct that admittedly tiny quibble. Looking forward to the next product in this series.

Hero Kids - Fantasy RPG

A great game for younger kids! I bought this back in August for my four year old son who wanted to play a "miniatures game" like his parents do. The system is fast and easy for him to use, without it feeling "dumbed down". The intro adventure was fun. He really likes the variety of characters available. I like that while the rules are ideally suited for young children, it is still capable of supporting a full roleplaying experience. I can easily see how this game is rich enough to continue to hold his interest when he is 9 or 10. If you have or know kids who want to take up the tabletop roleplaying hobby, you really can't go wrong with this game. It's a real winner!
