Large, ensemble hero movie and then individual film which focus on Universe with your own characters? A game where you get to have a Ever want to play a game like the Marvel comics movie the language used (panels, issues, etc) and the mechanic pushes (solo/buddy/team affiliations, SFX, and milestones), along with the subtle but powerful pacing mechanism hidden in the Doom Pool all make for a game which feels like you could be reading it off a comic page.I'd be looking for sometime after 2pm Central Standard Time (Chicago Time) on Sundays for an ongoing group. I think the breakaway takeaway with MHR is that it feels very much like a comic book. (though Magic Vacuum Design Studio has picked up the system, so yay!) a lot of the external links are lost because MWP exited the RPG business. I have my first play session, and an example of randomized character creation (included in the Civil War expansion) posted on my old blog. there's a pretty good fan-made variation using Smallville style pathways here, and a point-buy version is somewhere else on that blog. there's no point-buy or levels, and probably never would have been (that's not how the system works).

Psst, full character creation rules start on OM110, since the very first printing (I have that page number memorized for moments like this.). One guy had a trash can lid painted like Cap's shield, another was dressed up in cardboard boxes with some glowstick smeared where the arc reactor would be, a third had a rubber mallet stolen from Home Depot, etc.Īnd of course the worst joke ever, when Spider-man ended up in the arctic and proudly announced he was glad he'd brought Peter's Parka. Every time we stuck our necks out and did something big, like drop Colossus like a living 'rod from God' to get through a military installation's defenses, Doom was right there to take advantage of it for himself.Īt one point, Deadpool (which is like a Kender or a D&D CN character.you have to REALLY trust the person playing it) managed to make his own 'Iron Throne' out of a toilet, C4, and guns.Īnother time, Deadpool created the Hobo Avengers.arming destitute / homeless people with sad imitations. Probably my favorite moment came from a friend who managed to keep Dr. Again" the minute the game turns adversarial. The only criticism I have with it is that it (much like Valiant Universe, Shadowrun: Anarchy, etc) makes too many assumptions about players sitting around and singing Kumbaya.The whole thing breaks down pretty badly into "I'm going to do the thing that gives me the biggest dice pool. Squirrel Girl can also end the scene that way, because long-running in-joke within Marvel. If the DM spends 2D12 out of the doom pool, they can end the scene and narrate the rest of what happens. Willingly hamstring yourself to get some of the action currency, or the DM can 'buy' failures to up the value of the 'doom pool', the generic 'tension of the scene' mechanic. Add the values of 2 of them to get the check result, the size of the third (D4, D8, D12, etc) decides how much impact a successful check has.

Build a dice pool like you would a combo meal, roll, then choose 3 dice. Known characters makes it easy for new players who know a little bit about comics to jump right in, and the dice has a nice little risk vs reward system built in where sometimes you'll want to take a lower check result for a greater check impact.Īt its core, it's a refined version of Cortex. If memory serves they did eventually (or are still working on) making a generic supers game out of it, stripping the Marvel stuff.Īt the end of the day, it's just plain elegant.

They never got to the point of having full character-creation rules, sadly.had to give up the license before it got that far.
