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

Nintendo Cuts Profit Forecast and Drops Price of 3DS


It is no secret that I'm no fan of the current 3D craze that is being perpetrated by the entertainment industry. Apparently I'm not alone, anecdotally I've talked with many people who aren't into 3D at all. And I've read many movie reviews with critics complaining about the use of the 3D effects. However the lack of support for 3D is being seen in the limp sales figures for the Nintendo 3DS. So much so that Nintendo has dropped its earnings forecast by 82%.

To goose sales Nintendo has made a dramatic price reduction for the 3DS bringing it down to $169.99 from $250.00. This will go in effect August 12th. Price reductions will also occur in Japan and Europe.

I've played on the 3DS, and I'll be straight with you. That 3D effect screws with your eyes. I don't dig it and my kid hates it. We will stick with our DSi for the time being.
