If you like listy Gamism (and, boy, do I ever) then Iron Heroes is the bomb. If Arcana Unearthed was everything that D&D should have been, Iron Heroes is everything I wanted D&D to be.

With the exception of the really nonsensical and uninspired weapons and armor lists. Where is that cool double-bladed dagger that the masked executioner chick has? I want one! Also, why are the martial arts weapons still in the game? W/o Monks, there is no benefit to unarmed fighting, so you have a bunch of shitty weapons that just happened to be exotic. I can't believe that Mike Mearls doesn't get the currency of D&D weapons, so am I missing something here? Or was the equipment section a casualty of a fast development cycle? Or what?

You could ask the man himself over at

mearls, you know...

I don't feel like I'm on close enough terms with the man to just say "how come your equipment list sucks horse balls?" out of the blue.

Well, you could be more polite about it. :)

But what fun would that be?
