Godlike: Superhero Roleplaying in a World on Fire 1936-1946 by Detwiller, Dennis. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780971064201.

Released in 2002 to critical acclaim, GODLIKE is a superhero roleplaying game like no other. There is no bright spandex, no pulp machismo. In the face of the greatest conflict in history, ordinary men and women emerge with the Talents their times demand, but who are still as vulnerable -- and eventually as expendable -- as the ordinary troops in the foxholes. GODLIKE features an intensively researched alternate history of World War II, the depth of setting and character for which award-winning author Dennis Detwiller (Delta Green) is famous, an innovative rules set by Greg Stolze (Unknown Armies), and a complete "D20" rules conversion by Mike Mearls. GODLIKE: You are larger than life... but the War is larger than you.
