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

ND iPad App Review – Bookman

Aside from  surfing the web or doing sketches, one of the main things I do with my iPad is read. Often I’m reading online versions of magazines or newspapers, as well as comic books, ebooks, or a PDF created by some fanboy who created a guide to a video game or some unofficial material for one of my favorite role playing games. Either way, despite the kryptonite that is sun glare, the iPad is great for reading. Bookman, developed by Tsumiki Studios for both English and Japanese languages, has quickly become my favorite method of reading, organizing and loading e literature to my iPad.

Bookman uses a bookshelf system for storing and organizing books just as the iBook app does on the iPad. However Bookman easily reads PDF and Comic book CBR files. The double tap zoom and double page view are excellent for reading a wide variety of the books and comic books that I download. However downloading is the real strength of this app. Bookman comes with a built in web browser, which allows you to browse and download from ebook sites or FTP sites. With its built in web browser, you also have a method of exploring links in documents without leaving the app. I most often go to my DropBox account to download files that I found while surfing the web the night before.

This app is getting updated all the time, so hopefully it will just keep getting better. Check it out and let me know what you think.
