Godlike
A superhero RPG set in the era of World War II. The PC's are Allied paranormal ""Talents"" with superhuman abilities who aid in the war effort. While Talents are definitely superhuman¸ it is more gritty than four-color superheroic. The PC's can still die¸ and they have little effect on the war as a whole. It uses a dice-pool system¸ known as the ""One-Roll Engine"". Actions are resolved by rolling d10's equal to stat plus skill. The number of matches (i.e. d10's with the same value) indicate speed of success¸ while the number matched indicates quality of success. Development and supplements to the system were taken over byArc Dream Publishingin late 2002. - A description from https://darkshire.net/jhkim/rpg/encyclopedia/ with kind permission of John H.
