A friend of mine wants to run a campaign in pic related. Never

New edition was kickstarted a ?year? or so ago, and is actually rather on track, from what I can tell.

Also, rather fun game.

I've played several games of it.
It's... good, fun, a lot of promise, but it is outrageously broken, with more than a handful of virtual I Win At This buttons, and a few actual I Win At This buttons.
It has all the problems of early WW mechanics magnified x4 due to the power scale. I mean, seriously, when you need to roll 40+ dice for a single action, you have gotten beyond the rim of sense.
As above anon said tho, there is a new edition that I've been keeping eyes on coming.

Has the new edition came out yet, or is it later this year?

Later this year, it looks like. There's a handful of previews out currently

If your DM does some balancing then it can work

Otherwise just pump epic physicals and you literally break the game

I ran a Hero campaign once, lasted about 10 sessions. The system was needlessly complicated and only served to 'break' the game when characters optimized even a little. The setting is fine, just play it with FATE or your system of choice.

Great premise.
Terrible system.
Nonexistent setting.
Maybe the new version isn't complete shit.

Isn't the setting pretty much just real world + mythologies are real?

>>53889862
Yes. I think anon was referring to the fact that there is no development beyond that point, almost no official campaign (there's the WW2 stuff but it's kinda retarded) or anything like that. But the pre-generated characters (and I think there was a pre-written scenario too?) come with their evil counterparts and a campaign premise.

It wasn't too bad but it wasn't that good either.

Premise is great and the basic idea of the system is neato.

Needs more setting stuff. I find it real hard to make adventures or campaigns in modern settings personally. That would help.

But the characters you can make are fun.

I made a mormon kid who found out he was the son of the aztec god of war and got a luchador mask that made him fly.

I loved it.

The gods are cool, especially the lesser known ones or their takes on things.
