Agreed -- this is the best cover I've seen for any RPG product in some time. I like blue. The content looks promising as well. I've never run a supers campaign, but I can definitely see the appeal of playing regular guys in a superpowered world. One question, though: does UNTIL just try to stop supervillians, or are they a check against hero excesses as well? Jon

You know, I recently ranted on a different board about this exact same subject. I have NEVER seen a real-life sports supplement for ANY role-playing system (leaving aside for the moment pro wrestling). I can't imagine why no one has ever written a thing. Think about it. Sports Hero could be a really crunchy big book detailing a few dozen common sports: * Template characters for each position * Equipment, built in HERO * Rules for playing out each sport in HERO terms I mean, that would be a HUGE seller, wouldn't it? I'd buy a copy in a second. You'd probably sell a good number to non-HERO fans, simply because it's a popular topic never touched on by other systems. Heck, you could even spin off aSports Hero: X-treme Edition, for extreme sports fans! Jon

It's a really good cover, but... the tall, narrow font used for the word 'Alien' looked more than a little bit like: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090605/ I have no idea if that's intentional, but it could be, considering the content of the book. Jon Fry
