  Powell's Books - Godlike (Little House on the Bowery) by Richard Hell   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Godlike, Richard Hell's second novel, is a stunning achievement, and quite likely his most important work in any medium to date.
Combining the grit, wit, and invention of Go Now with the charged lyricism and emotional implosiveness of his groundbreaking music, Godlike is brillant in form as well as dazzling in its heartwrenching tale of one whose values in life are the values of poetry.
Godlike is a novel of compelling originality and trascendent beauty.

 The Forge :: Godlike
Godlike is set during World War II, with the twist that people start manifesting super-powers (or Talents in the game jargon) all over the world, to the tune of over two hundred thousand individuals from 1936-1945.
Godlike provides a probability chart, and without going into detail, basically, your character fails very, very often unless you've got at least five dice to rely on, and you're safer with more.
Godlike has little to no metagame mechanics whatever, which is usually the case in a Stolze system.

 Science Fiction Game Reviews
Their adventures are chronicled in Godlike, a new superhero role-playing game that takes decades of superhero traditions, builds a coherent rule base for their manifestations and then turns the clock back to just before the Atomic Age.
Godlike's approach to superhero role-playing throws characters into the role of relatively low-powered Talents, the sort of heroes that might appear as throwaway characters in the pages of Superman or The Avengers.
Godlike's ruleset gracefully reinforces its realism, limiting each character to one action a round—like diving into a ditch or shooting a charging Nazi—while still providing the potential for superhumans (or very lucky normal humans) to perform multiple actions.

 Godlike - RPGnet Forums
Godlike and its first supplement, Will To Power (which details Nazi Germany in closer focus, available in a week or so) are out now, while currently Wild Talents is still only in playtest and won't be out until possibly later this year.
Godlike characters are built with a number of points, and for high-powered cinematic campaigns you can simply raise that number to get more superheroic characters.
Godlike talents are by no means weak, but they're more likely to have just one edge instead of being superman.

Talents and the special dice are purchases out of a point pool assigned by the storyteller based on the level of game he wants to run, much like the tri-stat system used by Guardians of Order.
Parts five and six are actually the best parts of the book, as they provide the details of the Godlike setting from 1938 to 1945.
The timeline is nicely done to include important figures among those who possess Talents and their place in the world.

To the rank and file of humanity, these chosen few seem godlike in their capabilities; still, only the Talents know the true secret.
The secret is this: the power that they have found by chance seems pale and pointless in the face of death.
This is the secret: These fears, like the power that feeds them, are godlike in their scope.

 LitKicks: Godlike, by Richard Hell
Godlike, his first novel since 1997's superb Go Now, is an absolute pleasure and a perfect distillation of this unique author's talents.
Godlike purports to be the scribblings of a middle-aged poet named Paul Vaughn who sits in a mental hospital reminiscing about a younger poet named R. Wode, but it becomes quickly apparent that Hell is basing the story on the real-life relationship between two 19th Century French poets, Paul Verlaine and Arthur Rimbaud.
As the pages of Godlike progress, we know that Vaughn will have to shoot Wode (without seriously injuring him), that Vaughn will go to prison and that Wode will disappear, reemerge and die.

 RPGnet: Review of Godlike
I'll never run Godlike, but its a generally well made game.
Godlike has pretty good writing, an interesting system, and a strong "this is what the characters do" hook.
In consulting the RPGnet Store we've come up with a number of products which we think might be related, but some might be inaccurate because the name, Godlike, is so short.

 "A Godlike Presence": The Impace of Radio on the 1920s and 1930s | Tom Lewis | OAH Magazine of History
When they say “The Radio” they don’t mean a cabinet, an electrical phenomenon, or a man in a studio, they refer to a pervading and somewhat godlike presence which has come into their lives and homes (1).
Radio became a “godlike presence,” as the essayist E. White described it, that overtook American lives and homes.
Radio meant that for the first time in history one person with a microphone could speak to many, influence them, and perhaps change their lives.

 Godlike by Richard Hell | PopMatters Book Review
In the case of Richard Hell's Godlike, I visualize Hell transmitting the novel psychically to a mother ship, where it is formatted, copyedited and submitted to publishers.
Godlike follows the relationship of a married man and his teenage boyfriend, consequently making for an unnerving read.
I remember meeting men in the latter-half of their lives at the library when I was 13 who would follow me around and offer to pay for my photocopies.

 Stop Looking At Us, We're Waving Goodbye...The Godlike Genius Of Scott Walker
There were two Walker Brothers reunion LPs: the thoroughly uninteresting "No Regrets," and "Nite Flights." "Nite Flights" has four amazing Scott songs (One of which, the title track, was covered by David Bowie on his "Black Tie/White Noise" LP.) The rest of the LP is ungood.
Cut to 1981, when Julian Cope (at the height of his hipster influence) releases "Fire Escape In The Sky: The Godlike Genius Of Scott Walker." Interest is predictably renewed.
Then, in 1983, Scott releases "Climate Of Hunter." Moody, dark, and downright inaccessable, it is nonetheless the sound of Scott picking up where the good half of "Til The Band Comes In" left off.

Composed of B-sides, compilation tracks, and remixes, the disc provides a glimpse at the more esoteric side of one of today's most earnest industrial bands.
"Godlike," produced by Ministry cofounder Paul Barker, is a full-throttle adrenaline-fest that steals drum programming from Ministry's thunderous "Thieves"; "Virus-Dub" and "Rip the System" explore and spoof various facets of reggae music; and "Mysterious Ways" is a slinky and surprisingly reverential tribute to Irish superstars U2.
Of course, even devoted fans could do without the hastily assembled Hellraiser III cut "Ooh La La" and the Scott Burns metal mix of "Hole in the Wall," but overall, Agogo is a worthwhile investment for the aficionado who needs everything.
