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

Tomorrow's Future, Today | Elevated Buses

A couple months ago I was reading through the newspapers online and came across this article about the plans for an elevated bus being planned in China. The idea is essentially a bus that drives above traffic, depositing passengers at various elevated platforms and stations throughout the city. Idea is kind of scary and cool at the same time.


The idea also seemed familiar. I dig reading through old Popular Science magazines, especially since I found some old copies of my Dad's during my folks' last move. After seeing those I have a habit of looking up other similar magazines from the 40's-60's online. Sure enough while browsing around I came across this elevated bus idea, in a Japanese kid's science magazine. In this magazine it was called the Dinosaur Truck. I can't read Japanese at all, but looking at the pictures the similarities in the concepts are there. Either way its a fun excuse for including some these cool images on the blog.
