[BNW] Who played BNW at Origins?

[Reverend Grimme <aniballi@mc.net>]

Hey all,
Just a quick question for anyone who was fortunate enough to get in on a demo of the game at
Origins. I'm getting very hyped up with it's Gen Con debut less than a month away now, and I was
hoping that if anyone had any thoughts and opinions on the game that they might like to share,
that'd be great. Some specific questions;

What's the system like? I know it's not the same as the Deadlands system, so what gives?

Any thoughts on how the game is presented? For me it was one of the finer points of Deadlands, and I
assume that BNW follows suit. Some hideously beautiful cover artwork, nice border graphics on every
page. Full color archetypes and artwork bound in, all that stuff.

Any polt lines churn up in the demo? I know there is something about JFK becoming supreme dictator
of the US floowing a botched assassination attempt in dallas, but what about the deltas? What's the
origin of their power, and at what point does it pop up out of the traditional historical timeline?
Maybe some cataclysmic galcactic rearrangement? A schism?

Any other thoughs you might have would be greatly appreciated. I'm asking for myself, as I intend to
pick the game up, but also on behalf of a comic nut friend of mine who is nuts for superhero RPGs.
He's still looking for something a bit inventive and differend, with a system that can back it all
up (after having been dissapointed in Aberrant).

Thanks,
Chris Aniballi
