Halt Evil Doer! PDF release
Willowhugger
Hey guys,
I thought I'd share my own recent magnum opus. It's in PDF format
now, though it'll be coming out in physical form in a couple of months
(available at a game shop near you!). However, I thought I'd share my
thoughts on finally seeing a work of mine see print (even if it's not
quite printed YET and is only now becoming available for electronic
sale).
It's a pretty heady feeling to finally be able to add your
contributions to the world of RPGing into the "Common Knowledge" bin
of Gamer Wisdom. I don't know if it'll be a success or not, certainly
not until its in physical form, but I think it'll be nice to become
part of something you love and share what you've done.

Halt Evil Doer! is based on my personal love of Marvel Comics and a
few elements from DCU (I couldn't resist adding a Superman, Batman,
and Wonder Woman homage---I think its personally mandated in M&M
universes now). I think a lot of Super Heroes settings attempt to
create very dark and 'realistic' settings. I like portraying my
villains as competent and capable but I personally like to see my
heroes being....well...heroic.
I think I managed to successfully accomplish that with Halt Evil Doer!
and hope that I can continue to develop the world is forthcoming
supplements. It's a pity that the physical version didn't make it for
Gencon 2008 but I'm sure we'll have it ready with a few others for
Gencon 2009.
If anyone picks this up, I'd be happy to hear their thoughts and
answer any of their questions.
Thanks.
