I was wondering why I hadn’t heard more about the Margaret Weis Productions all new Marvel Heroic RPG since I believed it was on its way to your local FLGS. Obviously, I haven’t heard any more about the system because it is currently delayed until the middle of this month.
From Margaret Weis Productions:
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!
The response so far has been so great, we’ve had to go to our printer and expand the initial print run of the Basic Game. As a result, we’ve been told the books won’t ship out until [this week]. As soon as the books are in hand, we’ll ship straight to distribution.
Looks like gamers will have to wait a wee bit longer to sling Captain America’s shield, fire up Iron Man’s repulsors, or crack wise with everyone’s favorite webslinger Spider-Man for just a bit longer.
