MHR Campaign: The Marvel Universe

[pksullivan]

So my regular gaming group has decided they had enough of the Serenity campaign we were playing and they want me to run MHR. They also want to do their own heroes so we spent last week's session doing character creation. Here's what one of the guys came up with for his hero: Max Ace.

I'm going to try and post here with updates as we play the campaign. Also look for a contest announcement here, hopefully over the weekend. I have an extra download code for MHR on DTRPG that I'm going to give away through a contest on my site.

No Invulnerability for Ace? Great datafile, though; It's like Booster Gold, only successful.

He didn't pick it. We'll see how he spends his XP after the first session or two. I think one player may have taken invulnerability for his character Commander Turing to represent the damage stopping power of his force field belt.

Hey Everyone,

If you haven't had a chance to pick up MHR in PDF yet, here's a chance to win a copy! My game group just started this new campaign. Last week was character creation, last night was the first session. I have a spare PDF download code through DriveThruRPG for a PDF copy of MHR and I'm giving it away to the person who can write the best archnemesis for one of my heroes. To enter, just fill out the form on the contest page.
