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

Holiday 2011 Gift Idea: DC Super Hero/Fisher-Price Little People

Fisher Price's Little People line of toys have been a toddler/pre-schooler favorite for decades now. I used to play with my little Sesame Street Little People playset quite a bit for those early years of my life. Back in the 70's Little People were small wooden/plastic peg people, today they are a bit larger (I'm guessing less of a choking hazard), plastic, and more detailed in their sculpt.

As a father of two I get all the toy catalogs around this time of year. While the Lego catalog had me and my son drooling over new construction sets, it was the Fisher-Price catalog that got my attention with their new line of DC Super-Friends Little People including playsets. Fisher-Price as long held the DC Hero license for kids toys, using them in their Hero World toy sets where super-heroes are side by side with heroic firefighters, soldiers and police officers. But these Little People are a new and unexpected surprise. It's going to be tough resisting the urge to buy my 16 month old daughter the Batgirl/Wonder Woman Duo Figure Pack at the very least. This is a great start to the line, all of which are available only directly via Target Stores or online from Fisher-Price, other dealers are selling them but they will probably be at inflated prices.

Batgirl, Wonder Woman, Batman, Hal Jordan Green Lanter, Superman, and The Joker 

DC Super-Friends Batcave Playset... and it looks like Batman & Robin come with this set, along with the Batmobile

  2. I haven't seen these at any Target store throughout the past couple months. So in this case I suggest going straight to the source: http://www.fisher-price.com/

    You can buy the figures and sets directly from Fisher Prices' online store.

    My 18 month old daughter is enjoying her Wonder Woman and Batgirl Little People quite a bit.
