For those interested, in the Articles section of the site I just posted a rather lengthy interview with the SUPERS! and HAZARD Studio Crew. I think it's definitely worth checking out if you're interested in the game:

I'd like to buy a hardcopy of the game, 'cos I don't use pdfs at the gaming table and I think the game sounds great. Sure, I could print a pdf and bind it myself but that's not quite the same as having a 'real' book IMO. However if I'm buying a POD hardcopy, I think it can still be useful to have a pdf for creating handouts, or to skim through while waiting on the hardcopy to arrive. I've actually come to expect a complementary pdf when buying a POD hardcopy and, in my experience, this has become the industry standard; I could maybe stomach paying a slightly higher price for a pdf/POD bundle than for the hardcopy alone.

Trouble is, Supers RED doesn't have any discounts in the pricing  structure. Buying a hardcopy + pdf bundle costs just the same as the two  versions separately. As a rule of thumb for me, full price pdf + full price hardcopy = no purchase. :(

If there's no change, I suppose I'm hoping there'll be a sale at some point...

A sale sounds like a great idea.  How about, starting this Friday, we put the PDF and the Prints together on sale for a week.  Buy the Dead Tree Copy and get the digi-copy for free.  We'll keep the sale going right through until the American Holiday.  

Spread the word!

Upward and Onward!

Also, way to go on listening to potential customers! Great to see!

Man, this is some good stuff so far. I'll have to do a recap or review, but I've noticed a few big positives so far:


-Some nice clean-up of some things that were lacking, and cleaning up the core resolution mechanic.
-It looks like damage/combat has been simplified a bit.
-Digging the Hazard rules. Going to make it very easy to create a bursting dam or tidal wave to challenge the heroes, too.
-Rules for assisting/teaming up with another super to perform an action.
-More Judge stuff overall on how to deal with smashing stuff, dying, etc.
-Vehicles and bases! Yes!

Looks really good so far. I probably won't get my print copy until another week or two, but it looks like a really nice job has been done with this. Building supers still looks as easy as the original edition, which is a big thumbs-up from me, too.
