[QUOTE="SSquirrel, post: 1416306, member: 5202"] Woah. I've seen other people say things similar lately...like they have Champions and thus need no other superhero games. That strikes me as a bit off. Most every game system has SOME neat idea to lift or a nice way of making a certain mechanic work well. I've always been a big fan of Aberrant and thought it did super hero gaming very nicely. I bought 4 Color to Fantasy and found an awesome d20 supers system. I downloaded 4 others but didn't find one as good and the ideas didn't mesh quite as easily into D&D or into 4C2F to steal. I still haven't utilized said purchase, but its given me many cool ideas. You may be onto something on the "art is subjective" angle. part of Monte's bitch as well is the fact that all the others are just photoshopped whereas the core books were actual sculptures commissioned and high quality photos taken. I know every company can't afford that, but when I can look at 5 different gaming company products and see how completely interchangeable it all is on the outside, it DOES cause me to wonder about the contents. When I flip thru some of that stuff it also just doesn't look good on the inside. Bad art, unbalanced or sloppy mechanics, dire need of proper spellchecking, etc. What like Shadowrun? *grin* I mean there's a skeletal Space Needle in the background, we have at least human elves and dwarves present (cigars and shotguns even), MEG Hal said it's set in 2050....sounds totally like Shadowrun with the serial numbers filed off. This is not a bad thing as I enjoy Shadowrun and I've been waiting for someone to do a decent conversion of it to d20 (previous ones I've found sucked big and bad), so cool enough. I'll have to hop over to MEG's site and check out more info on the world, but I agree I'm interested in the game too. Maybe blend super powers as well to really weird it all out. Hagen [/QUOTE]
