This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Very cool. So happy to hear someone doing something with GH, a much-overlooked game. So much to like about it! In fact I was just reading the Supervisor's Book to refresh my understanding of combat mechanics as I'm hoping to get some guys to play it. The character generation is random enough to inspire new ideas rather than the ersatz versions of published heroes I keep seeing in point-buy games, but the rules for having to rationalize your powers keep the heroes from turning into nonsensical sets of unrelated powers. And the DUP rules really set the game apart from others in the genre.

No, you can't really make any hero you may think of with the rules as presented, and the heroes average a power level along the lines of the early '80s X-Men or Or Spider-Man or New Teen Titans or Outsiders, but for me it saves from "multiple choice paralysis" some folks get when there are too many options and that's about the top power level I enjoy.

Waiting with bated breath!
