I have it, but none of the original Marvel creators are involved that I know of. (It's one of the games I was going to cover in my still-in-draft 'other clone RPGs' post.) I don't know which PDF you downloaded; I've seen one for it.... There was indeed a supplements for DC Heroes covering Watchmen - turns out I own it, although I'd forgotten until I pulled DC Heroes out of the cupboard. It was written by Ray Winninger but it was approved by Moore, and I think he helped out in the production. This was back in the days when he didn't mind profiting / seeing spin-offs from Watchmen. ;) Well aware of 4C… I have it, but none of the original Marvel creators are involved that I know of.

I downloaded it a while ago, but the free pdf doesn't have the Universal Table included, which seems a bit short-sighted. MSH is one of those old classics that I've never played, and I must do so at some point. I've never played Champions either, so maybe it's a superhero thing (although I have played both Golden Heroes and that awful Rifts one... Heroes Unlimited, was it?). Odd, since I grew up on the Avengers and Spider-Man. Wasn't there a Watchmen supplement for the DC Heroes game? I seem to recall that it was actually written by Alan Moore too.
