Starting June 17th, and played every other week. I've got five seats open to be the first superheroes in a new world. Fight villains and keep Sunset City safe! Will you work within the law, or turn your attention to injustices the law won't touch...or even protects? #ttrpg#superheroes https://startplaying.games/adventure/clwjmgo0g001qw9x0nv63no5t
Because of @vintagerpg, I'm checking out old Different Worlds magazines tonight while watching Elite 8 games with my father-in-law. Remember the days when there were multiple print #TTRPG magazines?
One of the more interesting things I found while looking through those Different Worlds issues last night were the issues devoted to Marvel and DC superheroes using rulesets that pre-date officially licensed games like Marvel Super Heroes and DC Heroes. I'm talking games like Villains & Vigilantes and Champion. I wonder how that licensing worked (if it was officially supported at all)
A few online diversions took me back to the Kickstarter page for Kevin Rolfe's Golden Heroes / Squadron UK supplement, Legacy. It was going to include "The Lancelot Caper," Marcus L. Rowland's announced but never published Games Workshop adventure, which I was pretty excited to hear.
Unfortunately, Legacy funded ten years ago and Rolfe never delivered the project. No updates in five years and mostly promises prior to that. He did post a few PDFs largely cobbled together from previously published material, but no Lancelot Caper. Backers appear to have given up and accepted that they'll see neither product nor refunds.
Funny what a bummer it feels, even now, especially considering that I didn't lose anything on the Kickstarter. Golden Heroes is still a pretty solid superhero RPG with a unique tone, and it would have been great to have had a collection of scenarios and other titbits to round it out even thirty years later.
