Mr. Atkinson's good at judging, it seems.  I'm just glad to see that
he's
got a hobby.

Actually, it's worth nothing that "Godlike", a supers game set during
WWII,
is due out in a few weeks.  Written by some of the folks who gave us
Delta
Green, it appears to be a very well-thought out and designed game.  It's
going to be a huge book, and I've been looking forward to it for months
now.

http://www.hobgoblynn.com/GODLIKE.html is the home page, although it's
not
responding right now.  Probably being worked on; they update it almost
daily.
