That is a rather large list of new and optional rules! Is it too soon start looking forward to version 2.5 of BASH? No, just kidding!

At the very least several of the New Rules from Awesome Powers (for example, Power Suites) should be integrated into the Main Gamebook at some point.

Yeah! It could be BASH! Ultimater Edition!

If I did (and I'm not saying I will) , I would probably call it BASH! Ultimate REX (Revised Expanded) or BASH! Awesome Edition

Or maybe have it be a stand-alone Megapolis RPG that includes the setting with revised rules.

Well, that would be cool!

... BASH! THE MEGAPOLIS EDITION!

Yeah, I'd definitely buy that one.

Megapolis is definitely worth updating: I'm currently using it in my campaign and while it holds up pretty well (especially the art) it could use updating the characters to Ultimate Edition rules (and color, if affordable.)

Yes, definitely. I'd love to see this all done in colour and using the updated set of rules. For the setting section, the printed character's and their game stats could be trimmed down to the essential. Then release Crook Book styled add-ons to expand the villains and heroes. Oh, and adventures too!

BASHMAN, you could really use a new power like Duplication or Super Speed to help yourself out.

This is a test post.

I don't know if you guys have caught on, but I have been backdoor updating for a while now. Check out a number of the Sample Characters in Awesome Powers... it is not an accident.

Also my art projects and commissions have many times been Megapolis characters.

Oh yeah I noticed. I was just waiting for your official confirmation.
