Evil Unlimited is out, and Covenant is supposed to be out this month.  But 
then, you're in Germany so I don't know what that does to the availability 
for you.

You can probably still steal bits from CC to use in any other city -- 
landmarks and whatnot.  I've used some San Angelo stuff for mine, and I'm 
set in CC.

Where is Caiman City?  I used to live in Florida myself, and my family is 
still down there (New Smyrna Beach and thereabouts).  (Even if it is made 
up, I'm curious as to which part of the state you were going for)

It would probably work pretty well -- you'd probably want to redesign the 
power packages to fit the show, but the rules would fit it well 
enough.  And don't you go short-changing Xandar!  :)

Good idea!

:)  Nifty!  Anyone may feel free to link to any of my pages...I would think 
that was assumed just by being on the web (however, I have heard of places 
and people who get very mad if you link to them...why, I don't know.  After 
all, isn't that the point?)

I'm opposed to over-regulating, but it had become necessary.  My style 
changed, and my players weren't adapting to the subtle hints of which way I 
wanted to go.  So I got tired of all the misunderstandings and went and 
wrote it all down.  The point being "YOu knew what you were getting 
yourself into."
