I was glancing through Rifter 27 when I noticed the list of
all the current books for Heroes Unlimited (PU 1 and 2, CS,
AU and Galaxy Guide, Mutant Underground, etc.
Suddenly
I spotted something saying Villian Unlimited
2nd edition. It said late August or early September.
I am to assume this is a go or just another tease that we are
sometimes forced to endure
If this is a go, hey Cardiac I'd
still like to see your completed list, yours version of the bad guys
might still be better.

Wait does that mean Cardiac got his wish? I hope so because man his stuff is hot.

I wonder though... what if this VU2 isn't just an updated version of the original, but also includes a flock of new characters sporting powers/categories from the Powers Unlimited books?

How do you pronounce S.C.R.E.T?
My group has been calling it Secret for the longest time.
