Margaret Weis Productions: Marvel Heroic Roleplaying
(Game Launch) |
12:00 PM |
The Avengers have been disassembled, the Fantastic Four are somewhere in space, and the X-Men aren’t answering their phone. When dozens of dangerous villains are sprung from the maximum-maximum security prison known as the Raft, who’s going to stop them? You are.
The MARVEL HEROIC ROLEPLAYING Basic Game uses the acclaimed “Breakout” story arc from Brian Michael Bendis’ New Avengers to launch the MARVEL HEROIC ROLEPLAYING product line. The Operations Manual gives you all the rules you need to play, from gathering your heroes to taking on the likes of Carnage and Mister Hyde in a desperate free-for-all!
Prospective players will want to bring their polyhedral dice, d4s through d12s, in order to participate; character sheets will be provided but dice will not.
The Marvel Heroic Roleplaying Basic Game will include the following:
- Hero Files for Captain America, Spider-Man, Daredevil, Iron Man, Wolverine, and more!
- A mighty mob of Marvel Super Villains, from Armadillo to Zzzax!
- Easy to learn game rules make this a perfect entry point to super hero roleplaying games!
- All the action and drama that gamers have come to expect from Margaret Weis Productions and the Cortex Plus System!

It's 100 or so years after the Coming of Rifts that collapsed civilizations from its Golden Age of science and technology. Small patches of civilization exist within the Dark Ages, fueled by the last remnants of technology that they can keep functioning.
Two communities, linked by trade and governed by a single feudal lord as a rudimentary kingdom. River Town is a fishing village three day's travel by wagon from its sister village of Field Town, where rudimentary crops are grown and livestock kept. The land between is barren, unfit for habitation. The towns, as well as the caravans back and forth, are protected by a small company of loyal knights who wield the last remaining bits of pre-Rifts technology still available to these people.
A caravan was ambushed by raiders, who made off with a large amount of supplies, but more importantly with a number of women and children as captives. All of the characters are loyal knights of the realm, and have been called to hunt down the raiders and rescue the captives.
