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

Christopher Eccleston Joining Thor: The Dark World As Film's Villain


Christopher Eccleston, who Doctor Who fans will know as the Ninth Doctor, has signed on to be the villain in the upcoming film, Thor: The Dark World. Eccleston will be in the role of Malekith the Accursed, Lord of the Dark Elves. I remember Malekith when he was introduced to us during the Walt Simonson era of The Mighty Thor comics in the 1980's. He worked with Loki and other Thor baddies. His big weapon was The Casket of Ancient Winters an artifact used to plunge Midgard (Earth) into a winter so bad people were begging for global warming.


I don't know how much of this Thor film will stick to the source material, but the inclusion of Eccleston as Malekith is a promising sign as far as my personal expectations.
