I normally consider myself immune (or at least highly resistant) to silly marketing, but I was surprisingly tempted to buy this. Heh, just noticed my son's lil' hand in the bottom right.
The much-maligned DC Universe RPG is great for this. Rolling handfuls of brightly colored dice with superhero logos on them is awesome.
Depends on who you ask. At its core, the resolution system is 2d6+Attribute vs. target number, doubles explode. The handfuls of dice usually come from weapons...
Justin Sirois and Severed Books don't get enough love. I don't have Sickest Witch (yet), but I have several of his other books/products. His dungeon, Beneath, is seriously slept on. Hope this does well for him. He's very creative and his products are always unique. And usually twisted.
No, print edition hasn't shipped to backers yet.
You'd need to do some converting. Zweihander runs on a D100 engine, similar to WFRP. Zweihander has 7 Attributes to WFRP's 10 Characteristics. WFRP's Weapon Skill and Ballistic Skill are combined as a "Combat" Attribute for example. Though...
I've always had a soft spot for "For The Greater Good" for Villains & Vigilantes, mainly because you get to beat up Klan members and fundamentalists in it.
Supers! and Supers! RED have systems for natural disasters. I say "systems" because IIRC they're different between editions. They're simple, but functional.
I am not a fan of character advancement in superhero RPGs. I was an '80s Marvel kid, and powers stayed fairly consistent. If or when a character's power level changed, it often meant trouble! Speaking of deaths...
...and resurrections, I remember when X-Factor #1 came out. The Dark Phoenix saga...
Fun Fact: GH authors Simon Burley and Peter Haines were under the impression that they'd be developing a Marvel RPG for Games Workshop. They were blindsided (and in Simon's words, "gutted") when GW announced that they didn't get the license, and they re-tooled the game into a generic supers...
Which I totally get. My favorite superhero game is Golden Heroes. Not even because I think it's the "best" superhero game. I don't. But because it's the game that - for me - most captures the "feel" of my favorite comics as a kid (read: early '80s Marvel).
