Sure, under the following conditions:

1. List me as the author.
2. Link back to my site.
3. Let me know when you use and entry, and where, so that I can check it out, for my own curiosity and vanity.

If that’s acceptable, go for it.

Would it be possible to get permission to use some of your entries on websites with a link back?

Well, of course people in real-life are point-based. They’re just not bought for the same amount of points…

I am really interested in this game.

This is a really good point that I kind of skipped over. When I say that the powers aren’t balanced against each other, that doesn’t mean that the game is unbalanced. Someone with the Analytical Taste power, for example, is going to get as much opportunity to do really cool things in the game as someone who can shoot bolts of lightning. It’ll just happen in different ways and situations. That’s part of the beauty of the Quade Diagram: you can build a hero with a neat set of powers, but he will be of necessity focussed in a particular area.

And yeah, I can’t believe I didn’t mention Heroes as an influence; there is a great deal of similarity, with ordinary people trying to fit amazing (if lower powered) abilities into their everyday lives.

Thanks for this considered appraisal.
The powers aren’t balanced with each other, but they are very careful not to trample all over each others bailiwick. Some powers just aren’t suitable for the good guys – Radiation Projection, for example. The powers in the game are at the Heroes level rather than four-colour stuff.
