If PrincessWuffles posts have piqued your interest in Marvel Heroic Roleplaying, you should act on that now. Today is the very last day you can buy the PDFs as the license expires tomorrow. The Premium versions of event supplements have the rulebook as their first half (don't know if that includes all the superhero datafiles from the standalone rulebook, though). It really is a fun game. I used to be a FASERIP junkie and also loved the MURPG system, but if I were to start a Marvel campaign now, this would be my system of choice.

Egregious Offences posted:Alright, let's get this show on the road. Glad you're doing this one. I'd like this game to get a bit more love. Egregious Offences posted:Before we move into Character Generation, I'm going to crib from the other TOR writeup and have you guys tell me what sort of characters, let's go with two of them, you want me to create. First things first, choose two cultures from the list. My vote is for the Woodmen (because they're my favorite of the cultures) and the Elves of Mirkwood (because Elves in the books and the movies tend to be pretty powerful and I think showing how The One Ring handles Player Hero Elves would be worthwhile).

Tulul posted:There are a few unique weapons, though they all suck. Let's pick an example out of the hat and go with the verred! I'm pretty sure Cook is thinking of Zulfikar (also more accurately transliterated as Dhu 'l-Fiqar), a sword famous in Islamic tradition as belonging to 'Ali. The name means "bifurcated" and is usually depicted as a sword that starts as one blade and winds up with two blades (often curved outward) at the end.

Barudak posted:Then again Thundarr has an episode where the ape people of are using left over animitronic King Kong parts and dark magic to build their God a mortal body so they can conquer what is presently the San Fernando Valley. I will never be able to dream up a post-apocalypse adventure as awesome as this.

Barudak posted:Thats Jack Kirby for you. Thing is this was my favorite cartoon as a kid and it didn't even register how ridiculously surreal the situations were. I just knew they were awesome. Basically a Jedi without the quasi-monk pacifism BS and a cooler looking light saber, a powerful sorceress that frankly Thundarr needed more than her needing his help, and a Wookiee, gallivanting through a hosed-up USA (including San Antonio) equaled required Saturday morning viewing. Now I wish someone would run a Dungeon World or FATE Thundarr campaign.

Cythereal posted:Knowing most players, statting up a character you want them to love dramatically increases the odds of the players killing said character. They wouldn't have stats if you weren't supposed to fight them, right? That's certainly the lesson one of my players took from the Deities & Demigods book back in the day.

Wasn't there an example in the original D&D 3.0 DMG about making monsters into PC races with a minotaur as an example? It's been a long time since I owned, much less looked at the book, so I could be just imagining this.
