Ok, so it's more of a rules supplement, big deal. Anyway, the idea of random powers is cool, as you may have reckoned from my gushing blurb. We need to do more stuff like this for generating adventures and stuff.

I remember once Ookla wanted to play a totally random character in a D&D "campaign," so we included any playable race we could find in the MM. WOuld have been helpful to have a "random humanoid race" table (something not found in the encounter tables).

Yes, we're always pleased with non-review content (well, good non-review content). I think some adventure generators or encounter tables could be pretty good. I have an old one I wrote in Pascal that was kind of cool, maybe I could find it and we could post it for download.
