Playing For Keeps Issue 15
You thought we’d forgotten, didn’t you? Not at all, the ultimate issue is here, the story ending with a grand battle and some heroic actions by many.

New superpower (could be Third Wave, could be in another universe, whatever you like): Your character’s day is one hour longer than everyone else’s - essentially the rest of the world stops for an hour while they live on.
