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

2012 - Big Year for DC: Earth One

With the long awaited Batman: Earth One and the sequel to the NY Times Bestseller Superman: Earth One there will be a lot of for fans of this concept to read. Both stories are outside of the current continuity taking another approach to the origins of both of these characters. While on one hand I'm thinking, the origins to Batman and Superman have been done so many times we don't need it recounted again, but on the other hand these are talented people and it looks like they have put something really good here. No exact dates have been given for either book. Below are some preview pages from DC Comics

Superman: Earth One, Volume Two
Writer: J. Michael Straczynski, artist: Shane Davis


In this second volume, Superman is taking on the Parasite, recreated for Earth One. With the origin tale out of the way this could be a very exciting book. Superman still new at the superhero game going to toe to toe with a genuine super-villain. Personally, I'm lukewarm to the idea of another alternate Superman. I'm getting my fix in Action Comics right now. However fans of the first Earth One or who find this idea interesting, enjoy every page below.






Batman: Year One
Writer: Geoff Johns, Art: Gary Frank


Okay now this I'm all in for. I'm a complete Geoff Johns fan and Gary Frank is a long time favorite of mine. Plus for whatever reason I enjoy a new take on Batman, always have.
