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

The League of Public Domain Heroes

Contributing Writer Chimpanzee Rage pointed me in the direction of the an interesting wiki site this week called, Public Domain Super Heroes. This wiki focuses on comic book characters whose copyrights haven't been renewed or are no longer owned by anyone. Mainly you'll find heroes and villains from comics published in the 1930's through the 1950's. Some of the characters are those that migrated from pulp fiction stories, others are heroes born to fight the Axis during World War II, and others are just bizarre and fun.

Some of these characters including The Daredevil or the Black Terror have seen the light of day in Modern comics used by AC Comics, in Alan Moores Americas Best Comics series Terra Obscura, or Dynamite Comics Superpower Project.

Its a great pool of characters that can be used by anyone, free for the taking to use in your own comic book projects.
