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

The purchase of Lucasfilms by Disney conjured all kinds of possibilities in the heads of geeks around the world. One of the top dreams come true is the fact that Disney plans to put a seventh Star Wars film in theatres in 2015. This alone was great news, especially with the Michael Arndt being brought on as the screenwriter. Arndt was the screenwriter for Toy Story 3 and for Little Miss Sunshine, two movies that are both amazing. Now that official word has come from Disney that J.J. Abrams is to be the director for Episode 7 my high hopes for this next episode are maintaining their altitude. I know there are some reservations by a few since Abrams is also directing the Star Trek films currently. I personally think any danger of these two franchises getting muddled in anyway by having the same director is ridiculous. Honestly right now my main concern is that Abrams keep the lens flare to a minimum.

I'm also excited about the level of the special effects in these upcoming films. The blending of Disney/Pixar technology paired with the Jedi at Industrial Light and Magic is a mind-blowing prospect.
