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

LEGO Superhero Line Including Both DC and Marvel Characters



It's been announced this week that toymaker LEGO has secured the licenses for both DC and Marvel Comic book characters. LEGO has already produced many Batman lego construction sets from which they'll be expanding upon with more DC superhero characters. LEGO will also be producing construction sets for Marvel Superhero characters. LEGO has produced Spider-Man movie toy sets, but this is the first time to my memory that LEGO has held the license to both sets of major comic company characters. I'm guessing that the Marvel character licensing is extending from LEGO's handling of other Disney characters. Most recently LEGO has made sets for Toy Story 3 and Cars 2.

My son loves LEGO, its one of the few toys we share the same level of interest in aside from model railroad. I've drooled over the Batman sets whenever we go to the LEGO store, I can't wait to see what they come up with now that they have the doors to both comic book universes open to them.
