The Marvel game was simple, way to jump right into and the character creation system could give you some wild variations! It was fun to just toss dice down to see what weird characters you could make. <br /> I ran this game for over 2 years and expanded into the Advanced version once it came out. Our game group went on to try DC Heroes, Champions, GURPS Supers, Villains and Vigilantes, etc but Marvel was the bench mark that was never beaten.<br /> Loved that game!<br /> I introduced it to my wife a couple of years ago but she prefers rules light (practically non-existent) instead. I'd still love to make a Marvel character and wage battle across the Marvel Manhattan map, though!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06443942778458040933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9202849355254208824.post-37174563629308855082013-02-26T22:36:01.829-05:002013-02-26T22:36:01.829-05:00It's indeed a great system, still play it toda...It's indeed a great system, still play it today.

I have every single one that you've listed (I believe you're missing Secret Wars II, the guide on magical characters whose name escapes me, and New York, New York, which was a very cool choose-you-own-adventure type of game with a random adventure generator, i.e. a paper wheel, and a bunch of mini-adventures (different from that Thor module, which was more a classic choose-your-own-adventure format).<br /><br />I played all the modules with my brother, but once those were done I usually spent hours playing on my own just picking characters to fight each other and rolling their battles. My favourite purchases I think were Project Wideawake and especially Concrete Jungle, such a great variety of characters in that one. I also loved that Weapons Locker book which actually gave the prices of weapons (measured in Resource points). I would pick two organizations like SHIELD and Hydra, give them a budget of a few thousand resource points and strategically purchase different combos of weapons, then have them wage war on one of those city maps...<br /><br />As you can probably tell, this post brings back a ton of good memories, and you haven't even covered the "advanced" RPG they released a couple of years later!<br /><br />Thanks for all the great nostalgia!dholenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9202849355254208824.post-44004848448860005542011-11-30T22:04:39.341-05:002011-11-30T22:04:39.341-05:00They launched this RPG with the art of Al Milgrom ...They launched this RPG with the art of Al Milgrom and Sal Buscema ...

I loved this when it came out and made my own superhero a bunch of time. unfortunately my friends in the area at the time were not interested in it and we kept playing DND after only trying it once or twice. I'd love to get a game going. but with Video games basically doing that now (DC online and marvel soon) I think that is a dream I have to let go.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9202849355254208824.post-50950670898148835742011-11-30T10:39:41.926-05:002011-11-30T10:39:41.926-05:00I just tried and it works.
