[QUOTE="MidnightBlue, post: 8122880, member: 6924450"] So happy to have my copy of Cortex Prime in hand! I have all Cortex Plus games and nearly all Cortex Classic games. Marvel Heroic RPG, Smallville RPG, and Leverage RPG are some of my all-time favorite game purchases and have some truly amazing design and play concepts. Smallville, for example, is designed with stat focus in drives and relationships (drama based) which means that characters of any power level are on a pretty even playing field when it comes to game-might. It means you can have a game where Clark Kent and Lois Lane have equal impact on the game and story despite super powers. You could easily use this assortment of Cortex Plus/Prime rules to run games similar to any of the CW superhero shows, Gotham, Heroes, heroes/sidekicks, etc. Cortex Prime gives you the tools to run games using any of the aspects used in previous Cortex Plus/Classics designs. Intermingle/hack to your heart's desire content to make the game that works best for your imagination. Re Palladium Books: yep, they continue to make new products, but the Land of the Damned books are reprints. I've had them on my book shelves for years, probably well over a decade...maybe close to two. (After 2020, I no longer have a reliable sense of the time-space continuum.) [/QUOTE]
