July 26, 2002-- Barely one week after its release, *Deeds Not Words,* a roleplaying game of super-heroic adventure for the d20 System, is already earning some very kind words from early customers:
" The biggest problem I had was during the creation of my first test character there was so much cool stuff in the book his driving concept changed at least 3 times.”

"I am looking forward to both M&M and SAS D20, but I will tell you that DNW will give them both a run for their money. It is that good!
•NeghVar, ENWorld Forums
"WOW! 318 pages full of crunchy bits. A great game."
•Horacio Gonzalez, ENWorld Forums
“After spending $10 hard earned dollars. I must say I LIKE IT! I LIKE IT! I LIKE IT!”
•DartnetX, ENWorld Forums
*Deeds Not Words* is a sprawling, broad-focus supers game easily adaptable to just about any play style or power level. With three Modes of Play (Classical, Modern, and Gritty), even the world the characters adventure in can be adjusted to reflect the GM's desired level of realism. *Deeds Not Words* is designed to emulate every sort of modern heroic archetype, from costume-clad vigilantes to muscular movie conquerors, from suave gentleman spies to grizzled archaeologists, from efficient technothriller operatives to high-kicking martial artists. Slyly written and obsessively detailed, *Deeds Not Words* weighs in at a monstrous 318 pages in PDF format, and is invitingly priced at just $10.00. Written and designed by Scott Lynch, it also boasts illustrations from the ultra-talented Darren "Yodaboy" Calvert.
