I was late to the SUPERS! party, only learning of the system during the RED Kickstarter. Up until now, I've been a Mutants and Masterminds kind of guy, but no longer! While I still love me some M&M, SUPERS! allows for nearly the same level of character customization while staying lean, versatile, and simple to use at the table.
The layout of the book is excellent and easy to follow, and the imagery evokes my favorite superheroes (Shadowhawk even makes an appearance as a tribute!). Visually, there isn't anything keeping one from picking this up; it's as good a book as could be made, and much better than the shoddy productions of many other superhero game books produced by small presses and indie designers.
Since I received the pre-release version, I've been actively participating on their forums, building my favorite '90's comic book characters. Character creation is actually fun in this game, unlike the arithmetic practice other superhero games require.
This has been run at my table with great success, and will be again!
