This product is excellent value for money. It gave me many pauses for thought, and made me laugh out loud too. It is system neutral, despite being intended for M&M, as there are no game stats to worry about converting. A word of warning though! The majority of this article reads like a scientific paper and may be a little too much for those with little interest in, or knowledge of, the sciences. However, I would also say that the less science oriented parts of the article are worth reading. The author has certainly done his research. Overall, this product gave me a few good RPG ideas, and also made me think a lot about quite a few comicbook romances, and how they could have turned out...! :-) There are some good ideas for character complications/ drawbacks/ disadvantages; and also some intresting plot ideas too.

This could be subtitlted "Metahuman Sex Ed 101", being a fairly comprehensive essay on how human reproduction and birth would be affected by superpowers. If you're familiar with the famous essay "Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex", then this covers the same ground but for all major superpower types. Strictly speaking this ought to have some sort of "parental guidance" warning as the sex act is graphically described, but this is tastefully done so in clinical terms. The essay is 12 pages long a and is a well written, entertaining read that throws up a few interesting ideas. It's followed by a single page of game information (in the form of suggested Drawbacks & Complications and three plot seeds) and the one-page OGL.<br><br> <b>LIKED</b>: The writer does a great job of emulating the style of a scientific article, and the section on Mystics had me laughing out loud.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: Nothing really. I would have liked a little more game information, maybe a few more plot seeds, but the main text does a good enough job of stimulating ideas.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Very Good<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Satisfied<br>
