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

Casting News: James Franco cast as The Wizard

After Robert Downey Jr. and Johnny Depp have declined the role, Disney has signed James Franco to be the Wizard of Oz, in their upcoming film Oz The Great and Powerful. This Disney 3D film will tell the tale of The Wizard's first days in the land of Oz after his hot air balloon gets swept to the strange land in a storm. Sam Raimi is at the helm as director of this picture.

On one hand I'm glad Downey Jr. and Depp didn't take the role, since these two seem to be every where. I've enjoyed Franco in a couple of films, Pineapple Express stands out especially in my mind, and Sam Raimi gotten to know Franco after working with the guy on three Spider-Man. I mean the guy was just up for an Oscar, so he must have the chops. I just haven't seen anything in him that would fit what I know about the character of the Wizard. So at the end of the day, I'm indifferent to this announcement. It doesn't sell me more on the film, but doesn't scare me away either.

Now if the rumors are true and Mila Kunis is signed as one of the Witches, you are getting me closer to a ticket sale.
