Classic Marvel Super Heroes Tabletop
By RobotMonster 0 Comments
Some friends asked me to run a few sessions of TSR's Marvel Super Heroes role-playing game, originally published back in the mid-to-late-1980s. Because most of the players are unfamiliar with continuity beyond the Claremont/Lee run of X-Men, the campaign's setting is between Uncanny X-Men #s 269-274 and 275. While Rogue is playing house with Magneto in the Savage Land, a young woman wearing her face appears in North America. I randomly rolled her powers and stats using The Ultimate Powers Book and her talents from the "Ultimate Talents List" available at http://www.classicmarvelforever.com. The chronicle is more involved than just this character; she is just the NPC I am most proud of, so I thought I'd share.
