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

Star Wars: Aftermath Novel Announced

As part of the multimedia Journey to Star Wars: The Force Awakens campaign, Del Rey will be publishing Star Wars: Aftermath, a novel written by Chuck Wendig. This will be the first book in a trilogy of novels that the official Star Wars website describes as a story that will bridge the gap between Return of the Jedi and upcoming The Force Awakens. This first book will be released September 4th according to its Amazon.com listing.

The Journey to Star Wars: The Force Awakens campaign will include other books for younger readers and new comic book series from Marvel. The aim of this program is get fans of all ages up to speed with the new canon and fill in all the holes between the destruction of the second Death Star and the point we find ourselves in the Star Wars film in December.

As a near life long Star Wars fan, this is really an exciting time. Overall I've approved of the way this franchise has been  handled after the Disney purchase of Lucasfilm. It gives me a lot of hope that Star Wars fans have some exciting content coming our way.
