I've been running a Marvel RPG campaign since the 1990s, and I actually really liked this system. It's open-ended enough that it's incredibly hard to break, there's little randomization in character creation, and it seems to have taken the best of most superheroic rpgs to make a highly flexible system that can generate a wide variety of characters and NOT make them overwhelming to each other. Good stuff and I'll be buying the rest of the line just as soon as someone explains how the Premium and Essentials versions work.:) Well done, guys. And the introduction by Jeff Grubb was a classy touch. On to the bullet points: Character generation is open ended. Build the character you want, assign him the powers you want, and call it a day.
It gives you a good set of benchmarks as guidelines, and stays out of your way. As a bonus, it doesn't matter so much if you're the Sentry or Frog-Man as to how you'll interact in actual play with a group, by the way the dice mechanics and the Doom Pool work. It's a system where proper use can create those scenarios where Squirrel Girl can stand against Thanos, and not be ridiculous. Tons of character datafiles make it easy to run a campaign right off the bat, and open-ended powers and skills make character creation a breeze. I must admit missing the FASERIP system's variety of powers for inspiration, but it is nice to have a simpler system.
Marvel Heroic is about as close to perfect as a roleplaying game can get, in my opinion. There's some wargarbling about there not being a character creation system, but there is one: it's called 'make a fucking character.'

Math-lite too, for those wanting to run with younger gamers. At any rate, this is the best version of the Marvel RPG since the original, and I'm glad to see what the designers have accomplished. Here's hoping for a long license and some great products!
I've had a hunch that a certain number of police or military contract overruns wind up at the commercial sales counter and that accounts for some of the unusual CZ guns and serial numbers. But then CZ does a lot of wierd stuff. I agree the serial number is unusual, Don. Vz24 serial numbers. I've never seen those grips before and it still has the old style mag release. In '03 I bought a new CZ 75.40 that came directly from CZ-USA - but it had been made in '98 and came with ambi safeties, which are not at all standard for that gun.
Review after 3 weeks for Marvel. Our Pathfinder Group needed a nice change of pace from the weekly grind of Crimson Throne/Kingmaker campaign we have been running on the slow path from 1-15. We played the intro event provided with the pregens and then came up with a system to build newbees. I will say THIS IS NOT A SUPER/HEROES RPG, but it is a COMICBOOK RPG. This system isn't meant for 'Who wold win Hulk or Thor?' This is more like 'Can the avengers destroy Hydra?'
After playing the Event provided we made many changes. First of all, the game mechanic for me was fantastic. The system balances itself well. We played with the 4 players, but 4 more wanted to try it out. In no way did I have to change anything unlike in Pathfinder if 4 more players come in, the designed adventure becomes less challenging.
The system is all about players being the GM as well. GM (Watcher) only manages the doom pool, and rolls for the bad guys.
There are no real secrets as the scenes are all out there. When making a character, there is no way to power game or min/max at all. It just doesn't work that way. If you have not read it, you just will not understand.
Big on story, big on combat and a nice break. Only complaint from the players is that we had too many the first night (9). Next night we narrowed the players to the core 4 and things went great and smooth and fast. Takes 30 minutes to know everything there is to know. My Players like building characters from a low level noob to epic characters. This system does not provide that at all.
The sky is the limit, but there are no boundaries. What I did was design a system for a point buy type format. Stole a bit from M&M for leveling those characters, and what came out the end was pure perfection. As a guide Armor pregen is the lowest starter type and Emma Frost is OP. Currently we are playing a low level build for the 4 players, and after last weeks session gave the players 3-4 pts to build their characters. Finding dory free video. So leveling every session in a sense.
Overall, This is like Cortex but better. System is easy to learn and the players love how every roll has numerous outcomes. Every action is limited only by imagination.
No real rules to say how many feet, or how hard it is, and my favorite, No Rules Lawyers, No min/maxing and no power gaming. The rules are built for fun and fun only. Oh and the big plus for those in my group horrible at math.If you can add 8+5 you can master the math portion. Love it Love it. I bought this from my FLGS and have read through the whole book including the event (adventure) and the datafiles (pregens). Though I haven't played it yet, I love the system. I really enjoy the open story telling system, the lack of heavy rules, and the simple game mechanics.
