Marvel Heroic Roleplaying, slice by slice

[kaemaril]

Following on from the burning house example, I gave "The Mystery" a stress capacity. That allowed people to roll against the Doom Pool to uncover who was behind the breakout. When The Mystery became stressed out, they had the answers. James Mullen had flashbacks to how Danger Patrol handles this, and everything else.

Pity there's no way for the villains to de-stress the mystery (planting false clues, bumping off witnesses or implanting false memories, destroying evidence) ...

You could do the recovery (OM57) or pseudo-recovery (OM27) actions. I don't see why villains can't do that kind of things in what is, after all, a Transition scene.

According to Cam Banks... "And we don't have international distribution, which as far as I know includes Amazon UK. I don't know that you'll get anything from them under the current license agreement, not until we iron out an international agreement later this summer."

In case anyone wondered where their print copy of Marvel heroic RPG is.

Hmm. Good point. Having only skimmed the rules I'd completely forgotten about that. Thanks, that might come in handy one day

Not surprisingly he posts as cambanks

Surprised he's not posting on here actually - the fella does get around

I have to say - whatever I think about the game and the way its been marketed (or not in the case of the UK and rest of world outside US) I can't fault Mr Banks for his involvement and promotion of the thing.I wonder if/when he ever gets any sleep what with answering on message boards all the time...

Don't know if any of you have already seen this - but here

(http://critical-hits.com/2012/03/26/fantasy-heroic-roleplaying-a-dd-4e-hack-for-marvel-heroic-roleplaying/)

is a hack (what, already??) for running D&D using the MHR rules. Looks neat, and makes me instantly think about using it as a con game (you could do chargen really quickly with just pick-a-class-and-race cards, for instance).

Actually looks pretty good!

I've also downloaded the "Opening Salvo" quick-start rules for Dragon Brigade which is a little bit like Steampunk/Castle Falkenstein using cortex+. Its got a more traditional feel to it than MHR but pretty good all the same - especially for hacking.

Baz always argued that 4e would make a great supers game if somebody would hack it but I bet he never saw MHR being hacked for 4e!

Naughty naughty Travelling Man...

Despite the book not being distribute-able in Europe, they have a few copies on the shelves in Newcastle!

I snaffled one and it is a very very pretty book indeed.
