I am a fan of the Hellboy comic and of the d20 RPG that was inspired by it (and pulp action in general). And I was excited about the the fact that there are going to be published adventures written for it. But I was disappointed by what I bought. I find this product short and lack luster. I bought the PDF for $5 and found out that it is 12 pages...including the cover, the page with legal boilerplate, and one page with a brief introduction that explains that Cannister 7 is meant to be part of a series of adventuers. This adventure (or the outline of this adventure) is covered over the other 9 pages.
In very broad strokes: The heroes are sent to collect a dangerous McGuffin in Berlin. And one or two groups intervene to try and steal the McGuffin from the heroes by force.
Things Canister 7 does well:The layout & graphics are proffesionally done and have actual Hellboy art inside from the comics. Good and good. Though the mission is very simple, the authors think about the likely cho...
Disapointing.
I am a fan of the Hellboy comic. And I thought that Mantic Games did a good job with thier Hellboy RPG main book. So I had hopes for this product. But this line of adventures continues to underperform. I am not sure if I will purchase the third or other future parts.
For the price of a $5 pdf you get 7 1/2 pages of adventure plus a title page and some legal boiler plate. Anyway you slice it, I do not consider this a great (or even a good) value. There are no encounter maps. Only one NPC (and not even the central one) gets a last name. Some obvious NPCs don't appear at all - for example the PCs are almost certainly going to investigate at a hospital and liason with local law enforcement. No names or characters given. The PCs are told to avoid the tabloids. No reporters or tabloids given. Which I guess explains why there is no complications for them actually geting involved. I guess the writers want to do a "sandbox" style adventure, but its hard to do on 7...
This Atlas is possibly the best Superhero Genre supplement book I have seen in quite awhile. For years most superhero games like to do cities and smaller regions for background. ATLAS OF EARTH-PRIME brings back the world concept and does so in spades. They dispensed with including info on characters that have already appeared. In it's place is more of a background of how that area is changed due to a super presence and the other heroes in the area. It doesn't bog itself down with numbers and stats instead offering background on people places and things. Some characters do have stats, however here it is the heroes that fill in the gapes. I mean even Gotham is Batman's, but he isn't always around. Filling in this space is where this book shines for me.
Now don't get me wrong there are plenty of heroes added, a prison and various other things stated out. But it feels like everything included is important. This gives their world a lot more heft. You walk away with more a of fi...
In classic black and white, with splatters of red
this book tells a tale of a dog who's undead.
It gets gory quick, with quite the details,
of bones, brains and teeth and spilled entrails.
It was quite delightful a 5-minute read.
You look for funny and frightful,
this is what you need :)

I cannot possibly say enough good things about Pepper & Carrot. This is a visually beautiful comic, drawn entirely in the open source Krita software. It is also one of the few truly good quality "all ages" comics that I recommend to anyone I know who has children. Well written, interesting characters, fun stories, amazing artwork. What more do I need to say?
