The Kickstarter delivery of Spectaculars came through. It's a quick play short campaign supers RPG. In some ways, it feels like a board or card game, but I am actually sort of okay with that. Nice thing to run on an afternoon where you don't have anything else planned.
Downside(ish)?: it's built around a consumable model. It's convenient, but goes against 40 years of how I approach RPG product. You write in the setting book, and the character sheets and adventures are a tear off pad. Now I know that I purchased 1e and 2e D&D character sheets back in the day, but I have sort of gotten away from that thinking.
On the bright side, you can download and print most of the sheets. I also considered buying a pad of stickies and putting it in the book so I don't have to right on them directly.
