In this riveting episode of "SideQuests!" join your favorite podcast paladins, Rob and Eli, as they embark on a thrilling review of the Universal Soldier cinematic sourcebook for the Everyday Heroes game by Evil Genius Games. Strap in for a rollercoaster ride through cybernetic enhancements, higher wealth tiers, and the intricate world of tabletop role-playing games.

While the duo found themselves captivated by the wealth of material within the sourcebook, they couldn't help but express disappointment in the adventure adaptation. Dive deep into the discussion as they unravel the intricacies of adapting an action film from 1992, starring Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren, into a tabletop RPG adventure. The pitfalls of linear storytelling and the lack of a palpable threat in the face of the film's intense concept take center stage in this episode.

Eli, a critical eye with the fresh perspective of not having seen the original film, dissects the adventure with a sharp critique. On the flip side, Rob, a devoted fan of the Universal Soldier film, passionately defends the adventure, believing it captures the essence of the source material. The clash of opinions adds an extra layer of excitement to the episode, providing listeners with a well-rounded perspective on the Universal Soldier sourcebook.

Whether you're a seasoned tabletop RPG enthusiast or just dipping your toes into the genre, this review promises a thought-provoking exploration of the challenges inherent in adapting cinematic classics for the gaming table.
