Just saw on Facebook that a little preview type thing of the full never-released table top CoH game was released: http://www.rpgnow.com/product/2979/City-of-Heroes-RPG-Quickplay-Pack?it=1 Seems interesting.
It was a novel idea. I have it, but it was not enough. and, to be honest, as much as I love Eden, I'm not sure if they could have pulled it off. But we'll never know. :(
