The Death of a Dream

This role playing book is by far the most intriguing and masterful game I have ever been lucky enough to find. It takes place in an alternate world where certain people began manifesting super powers beginning in World War I. The super powers themselves are nowhere near as important as the story behind the game though. Those with the power used it for good or evil, through the years and Normal people began to have mixed fear and respect for the Deltas as they were called, until the attempted assassination of JFK ended with the first lady and governor of Texas dead at the hands of Deltas. Since that fateful day Kennedy has remained president and kept control of the nation through absolute fear of the delta threat. Registration and mandatory government service are required upon immediate discovery of super abilities and the American dream dies as a nation cowers in subservience to a tyrant. Sound familiar? This book came out before the events of September 11th but to read it one would think it was a direct correlation to the fear that has spread like wildfire. No matter where you stand politically this game holds tolerance and courage up as the foundation of our great nation and presents a much more gritty and realistic world of caped crusaders. All of that topped off with a quick and easy system that supports great potential for detail and an amazing background story I recommend this for all gamers who strive for more than hack and slash, and for all citizens who strive for more than to keep their heads down.
