Personally, I think Fate has needed this supplement, I don't think it is at all "yet another super powers" Fate supplement. I think it's well worth the buy.

Super-Powered Fate uses the core Fate concepts of Aspects and Stunts to describe super powers, unlike many other super power supplements for Fate that hack point-buy or mechanically structured power systems into Fate. Fate's strength is in its narrative components for story-driven game play, so by using those core elements of Fate, I find Super-Powered Fate easier to integrate with other Fate products, easier to extend to define more types of supers, easier to create tiers of power for my storylines...just overall, easier to customize and plan gameplay using Fate design elements. While there are other Fate super power supplements that also use Aspects and Stunts, instead of an Extras hack to do powers, Super-Powered Fate, being recent, also benefits from innovations and clarifications that Fate Condensed brought out, and other Fate gameplay over the past few years.

If you want to GM a supers campaign in Fate, you just need this. Just buy it. Even if you don't use it, the concepts are worth having. In fact, if you're trying to design other power structures for Fate, like modern paranormal magic systems, psychic systems, or more, you might find useful design ideas in this. It's so worth the $5.99, IMO. Thanks for a great Fate product.

For what this Prowlers & Paragons Ultimate "Waiting Room" Edition is, it is phenomenal. The game system is awesome, plays fast, fosters players activity and engagement, has narrative and discrete options, gives players options to be creative in proposing actions and in character development, has specific rules to reward creativity and can be adapted to various degrees of "crunch" for different preferences in play. The manuscript is fully developed and usable, so it gets 5-stars from me; do be aware and have appropriate expectations, it is not a "polished" book, layout and art is sorely missed, but the product is clearly marked as pre-final-release as a "waiting room" edition. Fully playable and easy to use, the book is missing minor polish in presentation and organization, for example, the 3 calculated stats of Edge, Health and Resolve don't have a name for their grouping, they aren't "calculated abilities" or "secondary stats" or anything, so the section that describes them is just called "final calculations." Until I recognized that, I had trouble locating where those stats are calculated using search, and had to go back to the character creation section to manually locate them when building on characters. Other minor challenges with this manuscript include areas where the rules language could be more concise and clear, sections that could be named better to make recognizing them easier, the system could use a play sheet to summarize how to play for players and so on, but all those challenges are very minor in comparison to the solid game play, creative game system, ease of play, and flexibility in describing characters. Very much worth the 5-star rating I just gave it, just be aware that this isn't a final off-the-shelf product, it wasn't meant to be, so for a pre-release edition of a game system, it's a 5-star product, if you start into it with appropriate expectations, hopefully the author and publisher continue to make editorial and proofing passes on this manuscript.

At a Pay What You Want price this is an great deal, so if you like super-hero rpg systems, pick up Prowlers & Paragons Ultimate Edition "Waiting Room Edition" because its fast, fun, easy to learn, dynamic, creative -- I and my group found it a lot of fun to play and its the new system for our long-term supers campaign!
