This looks pretty cool. Retro '50s-style pulp sci-fi, plus it name-checks Venture Brothers.

Awesome! Since I'm the one running this, double awesome. :)
I had just checked for this a few weeks ago, too.

I hope they changed the "level up" system.
For the unfamiliar, the only way to get new powers (level up) is to be at death's door for a long time, where if you take a hit, you die. Then if you manage to get past that without dying, you somehow level up and start over.
The problems are:
1) you can only get to near death by failing at your rolls. So if you roll well, you will never level up. There's little reward for success.
2) You can never heal, because that goes against your need to be injured and at death's door to level up.
3) Certain classes and races have abilities that negate damage. Using these races and classes gives you a huge advantage for level up, as you can take a hit near death and not die, letting you have a much better chance of leveling vs. the guy who takes a hit near death and does die.
4) Similar to 3, certain people can heal. Not as good as 3, but still very useful for leveling.
5) Some race/class combos have both 3 AND 4, making that character the leveling machine. Others have neither.
