Re: [RPG]: Hollow Earth Expedition, reviewed by The Metal Pope (5/3)

I will be honest and say that when I first got HEX and started creating characters I was a little concerned about how weak the characters would be, but that is coming from many years playing in the D20 world of "I don't need to roll because my base damage is enough to kill anything you throw at me." After creating a few characters my fear and concerns were gone, you can make a character any power level you want and with style points you can even have a weak character perform fantastic feats that were not thought possible.

It all comes down to roleplaying. If you want to kill everything or overcome every problem that you come across without having to use some inginuity or roleplaying, then HEX is probably not for you. ew is, in my opinion, at it's heart a roleplaying game, not a miniatures combat game.

The Ubiquity system has a lot of possibilities, only a few of which have been explored and I see alot more things coming form Exile to improve the play of the game. I have been playing RPG's since 1977 and seen alot of systems come and go. I think HEX is in this for the long haul, not just another flash in the pan D20 copy.

My 2 cents.
