margaretweis.comThis is great news!
I commonly disagree that there isn't "a game" in the hackers guide, it is hard to find and was tacked on through the kickstarter.
This is definitely going to make the system easier to market as a generic system.
But, why aren't they making a book for Dramatic? Perhaps it'll be a stretch goal?

I'm developing the Cortex Plus Action corebook. Excited! Firefly was fun, but this is going to be a fun challenge.

I'll believe it when I see the kickstarter.

When I see the Kickstarter, I'll believe there will be a Kickstarter.

Saw it on their Twitter. Hope it works out, and that we get Drama, too. So many times I want to recommend Heroic or Drama but with the games unavailable there's no point.
Out of print might be more accurate than unavailable - Smallville costs less on Amazon now than it did when it came out.
And while the Fantasy Heroic that's written up in the Hacker's Guide isn't quite up to snuff compared to the full MHRP, the Cortex Plus Drama in the Hacker's Guide is a full system, and that's still in print.
The core Smallville book may still be available, but the Watchtower Report never came out in print and was full of really good stuff. It's not quite essential, but it's got so many cool things to consider, it's not far off.
