Marvel Multiverse Table Top Role-Playing Game - Summer 2023

  A new Marvel TTRPG is heading our way for Summer 2023. I have some really fond memories of the Marvel Superheroes Roleplaying game put out by TSR in the 1980's. It was right along side Dungeons & Dragons as one of my introductory games to ttrpgs. This new game looks to be based purely on a six-sided dice system. The playtest rulebook for the game is available now for anyone who wants to run an early version of the game through its paces before the finalized version comes out next year. I'll admit I'm curious enough make that purchase myself. Here is the official press release from Marvel:  MARVEL LAUNCHING CORE RULEBOOK FOR NEW TABLETOP ROLE-PLAYING GAME IN SUMMER 2023   ‘MARVEL MULTIVERSE ROLE-PLAYING GAME: CORE RULEBOOK’ AVAILABLE JUNE 2023   FOLLOWED BY ‘MARVEL MULTIVERSE ROLE-PLAYING GAME: THE CATACLYSM OF KANG’ AVAILABLE JULY 2023     Use the D616 game system to embody your favorite Super Heroes and Super Villains!     New York, NY— August 22, 2022 –  New adventu

Comic Preview: Pirate Eye: Mark of the Black Widow, Coming December 2012

Yesterday was International Talk Like A Pirate Day, so it seems fitting that on that day I would catch a preview of a promising new title from the folks at Action Lab Entertainment. The premise of this one-shot issue, Pirate Eye: Mark of the Black Widow is an interesting one. Take the typical crime noir story from the perspective of the private investigator where our PI narrates his tale of crime, dames, and low lifes, now replace Sam Spade in your mind with a former pirate named Smitty who has changed his career from a life of crime on the high seas to being a colonial era private investigator using his pirate savy and skill to solve mysteries.

Nobody loves a genre twist better than I do, and this one appeals to me. The line work and color palate selections work so well and I'm enjoying the private dick narrative with its pirate flavor. I know this is a limited preview but if the rest of the book is this good I'm locked in. This is a character that could easily be used in a series of one-shot self contained stories or a regular monthly series. Below is a link to a 5 page preview of the book. It'll be on sale this December, check the Action Lab site for more details.
