It was incredibly detailed about what they did, what results they got, what they liked, what they didn’t like, etc. And, as an ideal playtest report should, it both largely reaffirms the general structure of the game and pointed out some rough areas that can now be easily polished up.

But the coolest part for me was the color. They ran two sessions. One was an Asian-themed standoff between an operator and his onetime best friend and training partner. The other: Deadpool vs. Black Tom Cassidy. I’ve always thought the system would translate very well to some other genres, and I’m happy to see that in practice. But mostly … Dude! It’s Deadpool vs. Black Tom Cassidy!
