Snippets appeared on the old Red October board at the time and I've been campaigning and building on it ever since,Here's the sales pitch:Gestalt: The Hero WithinWhere Men Become Myth - and Myths Become Men “Gestalt” is a unique world of superhuman archetypes. Superhero comic books contain worlds of Archetypes, individuals who represent important symbols. They are populated by characters who represent concepts such as Heroism, Strength, Speed, Cleverness, The Elements, Kindness, Cruelty, and Ambition. All fiction deals in archetypes or symbols, but comic books apply them more consciously than most fictional forms. The Gestalt campaign takes the idea of "character as Archetype" one step further. In this campaign world, Gestalt-Earth, the characters are the symbols. A physically powerful superhero might not just be a strong guy - he could be an embodiment of Strength. A Gestalt martial arts master isn't just a superb fighter - he's also a human representation of his chosen art. The master lives its philosophy at all times, getting into situations where he demonstrates his art and its virtues, championing those who follow the art, and using the art to advance his or her personal fortunes.---I should have a lot more information on format, price and release date (etc.) by next week, once I finalize arrangements with the publisher. The book is huge; I haven't finished the Hero layout yet, but currently it's hovering around the 400 page mark. There will be two versions, one for Hero, the other for Superlink. Yes, there are lots of character stats, including for some of the ones in the attached illos.</blockquote>
