Game Summary

Wild Talents: Superhero Roleplaying in a World Gone Mad is the long-awaited successor to Godlike, advancing the setting from WWII to the modern era, and incorporating an updated iteration of the One-Roll Engine game system.

The limited first edition also includes guidelines for designing superheroic histories, and the adventure "White Knights, Black Hearts". The Essential editions stripped out everything except the rules. From the back cover of the limited edition:
A World Gone Mad

The age of WILD TALENTS had arrived.
