"Godlike in their abilities, let us hope this new breed of man will carry the burden of a suffering world to our ultimate and unwavering goal - freedom for all the people of the Earth." Franklin D. Roosevelt November 10, 1941 At the dawn of World War II, a handful of people called "Talents" manifested strange powers that set them apart from the rest of humanity. With these powers man took to the air without mechanical aid, explored the depths of the sea without life support, and touched the rim of space. To others, Talents seemed godlike in their power. Only the Talents themselves, pushed to the front lines of every battle, knew the truth - that these newfound powers seemed pointless in the face of death. That their power set them apart from family, friends and enemies. That it made them more, and yet somehow less. These fears, like the power that feeds them, are godlike in their scope. "The world is richly super yet] delightfully bleak and war-torn.... Look, up in the sky - and take cover." -Kenneth Hite, Out of the Box A GAME LIKE NO OTHER GODLIKE is a role-playing game in which the players take the roles of superhuman Talents fighting in World War II. No bright spandex, no pulp machismo. In the grimmest conflict in history, ordinary men and women emerge who have the Talents their times demand - but who are still as vulnerable, and ultimately as expendable, as the ordinary troops in the foxholes.
