I didn't process it until my second readthrough but on pg. 61 billy and harry are talking about the old marvel superheroes RPG when the say amazing 50 and remarkable 30.  It's one of my all time favs!!!!

Yeah that was a really nice nod that surprised me. I can't recount how many hours I spent playing that Unearthly (100) game.

Or was it Shift X? I may need to dust off my boxed sets....

It's in the Your Story book for the rpg, not in one of the novels.

I also read in the recent game trade magazine that Jim Butcher is a Birthright DM.  It's my all time favorite DnD setting.  Mavel, Birthright?  I think I'm suddenly realizing why I like all this Dresden stuff.
