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

Darkseid WAR - coming soon

Geoff Johns and Jason Fabok recently sat down with Comicosity to discuss the long awaited Darkseid War.

It's a very interesting read to say the least. Johns is always verbose and almost speaking as a loving father to the Justice League ethos, especially towards Wonder Women, who is at the center of this story arc.  Another non surprising takeaway is the scale to which Johns describes the Darkseid War. Anytime Darkseid is mentioned or part of the story, there automatically brings a larger scale to the arc, but for some reason Johns tries to hammer home the idea that this is going to be bigger (How's that possible?!) coupled with new elements that will broaden the DC universe.

Fabok's love for Wonder Woman is a recent development. Fabok's hyper-stylization of sex with female characters drew him away a bit. But with recent stories and arcs, he's seen what the Wonder Woman character can be and in turn what he likes to do with it.

The love Johns and Fabok show for Wonder Woman is a testament to the character that hopefully will be present through out the entire Darkseid War.

I'm super fired up, not so much for Wonder Woman (I am a huge fan of her's, don't get me wrong) but for Darkseid. He embodies ultimate destruction and chaos which to me always brings strong stories and even stronger characters to the forefront.

Darkseid War looks to be in full swing by summer 2015.
