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

Small Press Expo 2011: September 10 - 11th


The Small Press Expo is a unique convention that has been hosted in Bethesda, Maryland for quite awhile now. This years expo has the makings of a great one with all the exhibitor space sold out, over 170 tables. For comic book fans looking to see what is going on beyond the wall of marketing noise produced by DC and Marvel comics this is the place. This is also an awesome place for prospective self publishers, illustrators, writers, creators to network and share.

In past years I remember hearing Frank Miller describe some of his research and initial processes for putting together 300. Or receiving advice from veteran independent publishers on the how to get your book published and distributed. Its always been a very friendly and intimate show compared to some of the more overwhelming conventions out there. Exhibitor tables at this show are sold to independent publishers, so this isn't a show floor full of regional comic book shops hawking their wares. I mean that's all well and good at other conventions, but its not what this show is about. 

Attendees at the show also get to vote in the Ignatz Awards. The awards are announced at an annual gala held the weekend of the expo, recognizing achievements in cartoons and comics. 

Overall its a fun way to spend a weekend or even one day if that's all you can do.

Bethesda North Marriott Hotel & Conference Center
