MCP Preview: DARKSTAR
So having looked at the Bear and the (Not) Cap Rip-Off here, it’s time for two more from CP88. Except they released the card for Dynamo, so it’s just Darkstar! Dark Star Laynia Petrovna is Darkstar, a former member of a super team assembled to reclaim the elusive Black Widow. Darkstar defected to the United […]
MCP: Crimson Dynamo character card review
So I was still writing the preview for Dynamo and the card got released. So no point on doing a preview now! First up, anyone notice anything about the card? Yes, that’s the old card format. The 2 asgardians and black order we’ve seen recently used the new format. I guess these have been delayed […]
MCP Preview – Ursa Major and Red Guardian
So Winter Guard were spoiled a while back but announced this week. First up lets look at the main draw; Ursa Major From the website: Mikhail Ursus is Ursa Major, who possesses the ability to transform into an enormous humanoid brown bear. His government may have initially made Mikhail a target, but he was eventually […]
MCP: Malekith character Preview
So we got this nice big model, but what might the card be like? So from marvel fandom we have this info: Malekith was a Dark Elf of Svartalfheim. He was born the thirteenth son to a thirteenth son and to Lady Mazerot of the Black Bile Clan, which were known as the lords of […]
Marvel Multiverse RPG : Sabretooth shows us the game is still broken
So Marvel reached out and posted to the reddit Hello Marvelites of reddit! In case you don’t know us, we’re the official Marvel reddit account (hi!). We wanted to thank you all for playtesting the Marvel Multiverse RPG—your feedback has been so important as we continue to create the best game possible for you, the […]
MCP: Heimdall Character Card Review
Here’s what I said about Heimdall in the preview: “So in game we can expect him to have decent defenses and stamina, and reasonable attacks but nothing stellar. And then he needs something to represent his senses – possibly letting other characters ignore LOS/Cover, and ideally something to represent the bifrost – moving characters around, […]
Marvel Multiverse – A Reminder of the maths problems
In case there are newcomers to the game or people have forgotten the d616 system has some issues with the maths and I thought I would go over it again. Now there is nothing wrong with a 3d6 system, other games use it, but it has a very narrow operating window. Let’s compare to a […]
MCP: Not-Ministravaganza spoilers
So Ministravaganza didn’t happen but AMG dropped a bunch of spoilers in the form of a video for 4 new boxes and a reveal of a crazy new character. Let’s have a (very) quick look. Shield Vs Hydra First the video, It dropped 4 new boxes bringing 6/7? new models. We have Nick Fury and […]
MCP: Character card review : Skurge
So we didn’t get Ministravaganza, but we did get cards and spoilers. First up I’m looking at Skurge. ere’s what I said Skurge should be bringing: “So we can expect another throw, and that’s about it. Do I think he’ll be a 2 threat? Not really. Unless he can’t contest objectives like Nebula. He needs […]
MCP: Ministravaganza speculations
So Ministravaganza is upon us again. What do I expect to get for MCP? Well let’s look at last time We got cards for 2 announced models – Ms Marvel and Hulkbuster. We got the X-men announced and then saw 2 cards for them The errata was announced and a couple of cards for that […]
Is Marvel Multiverse RPG DOA?
Prompted by this video by Andrew C/Forever DM/Bear I thought would answer it with another question – Is the game dead already? Andrew is concerned that there is a lot less chatter about the game. And he’s right. I’ve gone from posting to daily to throwing out the odd character.I’m not doing any analysis or […]
Savage Worlds Supers – Rocket Racoon
People liked Cyclops. Wait, that doesn’t sound right. People liked my build for Cyclops in SWS. Better. I’ve been reading Guardians so thought I would try Rocket. Some oddness here. I’m still spending way too many point on skills – but these could be advances (although not this many). I think I need to have […]
Marvel Multiverse RPG : Ironheart
I’ve just finished reading Invincible IronMan and Ironheart so here is Riri Williams herself: I’ve gone for Rank 10 because any lower and I’d be struggling to get her right and she isn’t more than 10. Genius because…she is! Scientist as she’s not actually a student. And various traits to represent her backing and help. […]
MCP: Thoughts on the 15 affiliations
So having played 5 competitive tournament games with 15 affiliations (See here) and gone over the stats (here) I’m now doing a brief overview of each affiliation. Avengers Firstly I need to say this was only Sam Wilson Avengers. But I was surprised how easy this was to play. I thought it would be awkward […]
MCP- Guardians/A-Force Roster review
So I did an event at the weekend and took a Guardians and A-Force roster. I went 1-0 with Guardians and 0-2 with A-Force. So very mixed! As usual I’m rating how the roster worked for me. Star-Lord. So much better with hit and run and the new leadership is very useful. His re-roll thing […]
Savage World Supers : Cyclops
So having read the super powers companion (and reviewed it here) I wanted to work on some characters. And since we had used Cyclops for a trial of another system I wanted to make a better version for SW. Cyclops (Power Level III) Human Hindrances 4/2/1 Driven (2) Attributes 5 (+3) Agility d8, Smarts d8, […]
D&D – New DMsGuild title!
I haven’t written any new content for DMsGuild in ages but for the last few weeks I’ve been working on this: Elves are a fascinating race and show up in many examples of fantasy (and other) fiction. But Elves are an ancient and varied race and there are many more subraces of Elves. I present […]
