Marvel RPG Week!
Starting Monday, Make Mine Marvel! I’m going to take a full week to take you through another one of the greatest RPGs from the history of this great hobby. Each day I’ll pick apart one piece of the system to show you just why it deserves being given a chance on your game table right now.
If you want to get a head start, either dive into that attic and dust down your prized copy of rules, or head over to Classic Marvel and grab the Advanced Players and Judges Handbooks, for free.
Get ready, True Believers! It’s coming…………

From campaigns past: The County Men

Our long-running superhero campaign has trod a long and twisting path. The whole campaign began in a faux-Marvel Universe where the events of the Secret Wars took place, but the heroes (and villains) never returned, leaving a void that our superheroes came to fill. Oh, and when I say long-running, I mean long-running. This campaign

D&D has, in its time, visited many places and had many settings. We’ve had D&D in space (Spelljammer), set in desert lands (twice – Dark Sun and Al-Qadim), the Far East (Oriental Adventures) and on the plains of the horse clans (The Horde – remember that?). We’ve had D&D in Wonderland, in a city lodged
Why I should hate DC Adventures, but I don’t

My rpg time has suddenly become a barren wasteland, and that’s a Bad Thing especially given we’re only three sessions away from the end of the world in our Endday Campaign. Here’s hoping that things pick up when normality returns after the school holidays. The Good Thing though is it gives me time to think
Race, Class, Role, Build, Background and Theme

One of the biggest innovations (or perhaps that should be re-innovations, as some of these elements were also present in previous editions) in Fourth Edition D&D has been the broadening of character generation. Your character is no longer a simple Race/Class combo (though he can be just that, if you want him to be) but
Stat the A-Team!

Here’s a quick question to throw into the shallow duckpond that is the internet: what Race/Class combos would best represent the A-Team, were they transplanted into the realms of Dungeons & Dragons? To my mind, this dysfunctional band of merry pyromaniacs (who always seem to get the job done) are the archetypal adventuring party. They

It cannot be seen, cannot be felt, Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt. It lies behind stars and under hills, And empty holes it fills. It comes first and follows after, Ends life, kills laughter. – “Riddles in the Dark”, JRR Tolkien The answer, as any fan of The Hobbit will tell you, is “Dark”.
Lazy building Icon City

There’s a fine art to being a LazyGM. It takes hard work & dedication – and throws them out the window. The true LazyGM instead uses that most limitless and potent of resources: the players. Our ICONS beer ‘n’ pretzels game has reached a point where it needs a place to call home. It needs

I’m basking in the glow of All Those GenCon posts; you folks are doing sterling work keeping we mere mortals StuckAtHomeCon in the gamer convention loop and I thank & salute you for that. It’s like being there, only without the crush and better hygiene. While y’all saturate the blogosphere (and I mean that in

Awesome! I can’t tell you how much I’m looking forward to this. This is one of my favorite RPGs of all time, and one of the best supers games ever made, IMO.

Thanks! I wrote a bit about this wonderful system back in July, here, but I reckon it deserves the full week intensive treatment :D

Man, I’m looking forward to this too. I was just reminiscing to the wife about our Thundercats vs. Transformers MSH game back in the day. :)
