Tell me what you think of that after you've gotten through it? It's one I keep hearing about and I'd like to know more. :)

Ask [livejournal.com profile] malohin about it. He's my sweetie, and used to own a comics & games store called "Planet 10" here in San Jose, CA. He also managed both "The Shire" and "Rivendell" in St. Louis, MO before that. He likes doing reviews for clients of the various gaming books received, and he's excellent at covering the mathematical & mechanical balance of a game. He can give you and [livejournal.com profile] gridlore a good, fair review of it now, if you both want.

So far, I'm loving it. Still the same old Hero system, but very clean and well written. Some old conflicts fixed, some redefinitions made, and a few neat additions. My favorite being the Power Advantage "Megascale" which allows for things like telepaths who can search the globe, Earth-destroying lunar lasers, and affordable super-sonic runnung.
