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!

Conan the Barbarian has always been a comic book character for me. I've never read the original pulp stories by Robert E. Howard or even seen any of the films based on the character. I was introduced to Conan via Marvel's two comic series and the large format black and white magazine the Savage Sword of Conan. Dark Horse has held the license for producing Conan comics for a few years now and they are continuing to excel. The creators that they have working on these books continue to produce an incredible experience for readers. What I've seen of the first pages of the upcoming King Conan: The Conqueror, show that quality continuing. With Tim Truman as the writer of the series I was excited before reading a single word bubble, I've long been a fan of Truman. Tomás Giorello is doing the artwork for the issue, I'm not familiar with his work but I'm going to be looking him up after seeing these pages.

King Conan: The Conqueror will go on sale February 26th, 2014. If you are a fan of Conan or quality sword & sorcery I'd add this to your pull list. See the pages below and tell me what you think.
