Marvel IS the Shizzle, I have EVERY Classic Marvel reference book, including The Ultimate Powers Book (rare), The Books of Magic (very rare) AND Weapons Locker (almost-an-urban-legend-rare)!

I GM'd a game (before my accident) which was The Secret Wars...4 independent (home-brewed) characters vs. everyone else! It was a slaughter cry

. Iron Man got shucked from his armor, Spidey went splat, Cap got deCAPitated, Torch was snuffed, Hulk was placed in geosynchronous orbit, Thing got pulverized, Mr Fantastic was telekinetically taffy-pulled, what a mess.

When the p-layers found out that they lose ALL Karma (marvel's advancement mechanic) if someone dies they started to spend their Karma to get KILL RESULTS!
yuck!

I still play said game as well. For those who want more info on said game, you can go to a great fan site here:

Actually, there is a power called "Martial Supremacy" that allows you to do quite a few different things, one of which is "power rank damage to inanimate objects" very nice for the GM who wants to allow martial artists to be able to ki-strike a granite column without augmenting their strength to superhuman levels.

I had thought about martial supremacy when I was making the character but at the time I still didn't know much about her strength (and I still don't). Is she always strong, or just when she is Jessica?

As far as we have seen, only when she is Jessica. Niki Sanders has shown absolutely no super-strength so far.

I still prefer Deadlands to the marvel stuff, but I think that is because the folks I play with are SUPER obssessed with comix and only mildy knowledgeable of the wierd west so it is more of a challenge for them....

Yeah, unfortunately I missed playing it when it was around (bad side effect of, you know, being a baby).

But I did find it fairly recently and although I can't convince anyone in my D&D group to play yet, I do like it from what I know of it (I can stat up characters fairly well, and such), although I haven't been able to play it yet.

But yes, so up on the classicmarvel site, they've got Claire and DL stats up. (I believe that's all they've gotten so far)

Good lord you're brining back memories. The Marvel Superheroes RPG was one of the first ones that I ever played. I had just gotten into Akira at the time and I ended up creating this mega powerful telekinetic. Sadly we didn't get to play that RPG for a long time because my friends and I ended up getting into the Palladium RPGs.

Hi all im

hear but this topic drew me in. I have to say that the old TSR system is the best ive ever seen for Heros. Personaly i prefer the OLD WOD but that 2 has now gone (I blame underworld and the fact that due to copy right white wolf got a huge cash influx) but on a serious note what is it with D&D players being scaird to play any other game???? trust me i know the type if met them hear in the uk in Aus and NZ I just cant understand it is it that they are scaird of the change i dont know but never mind.

Paladium was/is pretty cool too, I like the fact that the systems/settings are all compatible with each other.

Played it. Pretty fun though I preferred Villains & Vigilantes.
