Good show!

Zachary The First · March 06, 2013, 10:41:56 AM

Definitely! Looking forward to receiving the pdf!

I would like to contrast this to the response I've received from Cubicle 7, which has been nothing. I emailed them a few days ago with my concerns, and have yet to hear back from anyone.

Have you had time to look through our little game system?

Hi Walt,

Started messing with it a bit last night. Very easy to get, and seems nicely flexible. I have more to read, but so far, so good.

Zach,

Glad to see you're enjoying it so far. I was one of many who didn't really get into it at first, but later went back and saw it in a better light later. More importantly, I got to play a PbP game on the BBG forums at Pen & Paper last year, and it helped me really understand how easy the game is to both play and run. It is a little rough around the edges, but hopefully the upcoming revised edition will fix that.

Well, what I like so far is sort of having to think about how to use various abilities each turn. I can do my eyebeam blast, but I can't just do it every single time out. So maybe I use my eyebeam blast, then smash someone who I just stunned with an uppercut, then use my strength to throw them off the platform.

I have a feeling I'm going to have to get a game going to really get a feel for it, though.

Playing really opened my eyes on how the game works, so yeah, playing it will help give you a better feel for it.

I was trying to run a pbp game over on the bbg forums at Pen & Paper, but it seems to have fizzled out before it was going to start.

I'd definitely be curious to see what they're going to shore in a revised edition. Is that going to be a Kickstarter?

You should check out the Zenith forums, as there is a sub-forum dedicated to discussing the revised edition. They're getting input from the fans before making final decisions on things, so you can get in on helping them choose what examples and such to us.

No idea on a KS.

They just released a quickstart on RPGNow, which I hope will get more people to check the game out.

Run it via IRC? SKYPE? Something?

This works out beautifully in play: it forces you to mix things up, but it also allows for a very easy way of handling defense against multiple attacks. My primary beef with SUPERS! is the way Simon handled normals versus supers, but even that is a minor concern. It's a great game.

EDIT: BTW, that's a great little quickstart file. The game is definitely in good hands.

I don't have IRC, and while I have Skype, I don't have a headset/mike at the moment, so that would make it somewhat difficult.

I could always see about running one here, since it has a pbp forum. Does the forum have a dice roller?

Shame, because PBP's are too slow and I lose focus. (Less so than some people, but still.)

I'll eventually get a headset/mike, and see about running something on Skype and/or G+ someday.
