Super Happy Sentai Hour

This is a pretty good book. It uses 2d6, with one die being white, the other being your sentai color. The color die can explode on a 6, meaning you can roll an additional die until you roll something other than a 6. This reminds me of the Star Trek RPG made by Decipher, and made it real easy for me to get into the dice mechanics. Like Sentai Spectacular and Sentai Sequel, the Sentai colors are all assigned to a role in the group. Although I'm not a big fan of this idea, it's not that bad and doesn't really prevent enjoyment of the game. Besides if you really don't like it, you can house rule the roles without having to completely modify the game. This is unlike Sentai Spectacular, where you had to tweak just about everything you received from the Sentai color.

The Gestalt rules are awesome, as when you design your mecha's stats you get to decide what part of the gestalt you want the mecha to form. While the Red Sentai (or whoever got the leader role if you house ruled them) decides what the gestalt does during each round of combat, but the sentai character whose mecha made up that body part makes the die roll. If Red decides to punch the monster of the week with the gestalts right arm, and Blue's mecha is the right arm, then Blue rolls the attack. The only time this changes is when Red decides to use the gestalt's supermove, in which case Red rolls, and the dice pool is made up of every color die for the group. In back of the book, is rules for designing your own evil empire bent on conquering the world, for whatever reason. There's also rules for making the monster of the week, or Monster Du Jour as the book calls them, and at the end of that section is a sample Empire to use in your campaign.

The end of the book has an ad for the supplement for this game that Stupid Dice intends to release. The Supplement will have additional colors, new charts for making monsters, rules for add-on mecha or the options of super vehicles instead. There will also be rules for Henshin heroes, like Ultraman and Kamen Rider. If you're a fan of Super Sentai, this is a game to get, and I can't wait for the supplement to come out, and see the direction Stupid Dice will take this game.
