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

Studio Ghibli Announces a GHIBLI PARK for 2020 - Make Your Travel Plans Now


It was announced this week in a joint press conference with Toshio Suzuki, Studio Ghbili producter and Hideaki Oomura, Aichi prefecture governor; that a 200-acre theme park will created called Ghibli Park. Located within the Aichi Prefecture's Expo Park of Nagoya, Japan, this theme park will be based upon the film My Neighbor Totoro. Studio Ghibli will be splitting the costs with the Aichi Prefecture administration.

There is already a one structure on the Expo grounds that is on theme. A recreation of Satsuki and Mei's house from My Neighbor Totoro was built as an attraction for the 2005 World EXPO and has remained and been maintained since.

With the love and popularity the film has, much deservedly, I think its a safe bet this will be the tourist attraction that the parties involved hope it will be. The goal is to have this theme park ready by the year 2020.
