I was one of the players in the Campaign where these debuted. And they're an amazing addition. Its a great emulator for rising fame/infamy. It also gives the feel of rising followers on social media.
It created a great tension within the campaign. Two players were competing to be the most famous member of the team, while two of us who were playing more subdued shadowy type characters were worried how famous we were becoming.
These rules, while written for Aberrant, could easily be adapted to other settings or Rules. I have an idea how to adapt them to a They Came From Beneath the Sea campaign, to emulate the ratings and popularity of the "tv show"
