Any UNTIL Superpowers Database Sightings?

**Tempuswolf** · May 17th, '03, 10:09 AM

None here in N Texas. Anyone have a chapter list? (As if I need more incentive to pique my interest

.)

**Monolith** · May 17th, '03, 10:41 AM

The chapters are actually broken down as power-type sections:

Acid Powers
Air & Water Powers
Animal Powers
Body Control Powers
Cosmic Energy Powers
Cyberkinesis Powers
Darkness Powers
Density Alteration Powers
Dimensional Manipulation Powers
Earth & Stone Powers
Electricity Powers
Emotion Control Powers
Fire & Heat Powers
Force Powers
Gravity Powers
Hypersenses
Ice & Cold Powers
Illusion Powers
Kinetic Energy Powers
Light Powers
Luck Powers
Magnetism Powers
Matter Manipulation Powers
Mental & Psionic Powers
Precognition Powers
Radiation Powers
Shape Alteration Powers
Size Alteration Powers
Sleep & Dream Powers
Solar & Celestial Powers
Sonic Powers
Speedster Powers
Strength & Toughness Powers
Stretching Powers
Telekinetic Powers
Teleportation Powers
Time Powers
Vibration Powers
Water Powers
Weather Powers
Wood & Plant Powers
Miscellaneous Powers
Apendix

It is possible that I might have missed a category (I was flipping through the manuscript, not the book), or that something has been changed from the manuscript, but I think I covered them all. I believe Steve mentioned that there were some 3,300 powers listed in the book between all those categories. It seemed like more to me.

The book also has some new Adders, Advantages, and Limitations included in sidebars which expand how some of the powers from FREd can now operate.

I got mine in Ohio.

Cameout Fri during my FLGS's annual 20% off sale, so I bought 2, 1 for a Christmas Gift to inspire my friends to GM again

A little over 3,300 was my count based on taking all the example powers and all the listed variants on them. If you just counted the basic example powers (not a very fair thing to do, IMO, given the utility of the variants, but that's how some people think), it would be less than that -- exactly 750, according to my quickie counting method (i.e., run a search-and-replace for a word that only occurs in a base power write-up, then have the computer tell me the number of things replaced

). That means an average of 4.4 variants per power -- though the actual range is 0 to about 14, IIRC.

I just picked up a copy at Lone Star in Dallas for a friend, so it's made it to Texas

I just picked up a copy today (in Winston-Salem, NC). Haven't had a chance to look through it yet (but I was quite pleased with my read-through of the playtest copy, so I assume that I will find the real thing to be useful).

In my best child voice...
I got it! I gawt it! I gaaaaaawwwwwwt it! I gawt it!
They had five copies on the shelf at my FLGS. It was the fourth store I went to today and turned out to be the ONLY one that had it. Ironically, it was the closest; I shoulda started there first.

Anyway, I've learned my lesson with Millenium City! Since it will be a while since the next product, I'm taking my time reading this. So far, I definitely recommend it to all my friends.

**Nato** · May 17th, '03, 03:43 PM

I'm definitely looking forward to getting mine!

Hmmm I wonder why someone swiped my braum's bacon cheeseburger (well at least they remembered the MEAT) this time!

Have you tried look at Game Chest in valley view mall? Guy I talked to Friday said they were going to get some in.

Thanks, I'll look in other there if I get to that side of town.

I am from Southeast Missouri and have to drive into southern Illinois to play and shop, but I did get my USPD.

WoW. What a great book. The artwork is something to behold.

***Steve Long*** · May 18th, '03, 05:42 PM

Yeah, the artists did a fantastic job. We've even got a new one in there -- Jonathan Davenport, the latest member of the Florida Art Mafia.

I think my favorite illo in there is Eric Lofgren's picture of Summer Cloud on page 15, but they're all really cool.

Got mine at Comic Book World in Louisville, KY on Friday.

Hi there, Rayoman!

I guess that means I will be getting mine there today!

By the way, have you ever gone to the barbeque place, right up the road from Comic Book World on Shepherdsville Rd?
(Ole Hickory Pit ? I think?)

Their barbeque is pretty good.
