The new Marvel RPG, Or: Why Jared's Games Have a Shot Now :)

[John Harper]

The obvious thing, it seems to me, is to have almost 1/2 of the game text (or, heck, all of it) be done in a comic book format.

Jonathan, this is a WONDERFUL idea. And I can't believe no one has done it yet. The Marvel RPG would have been perfect this way. It even uses "panels" and "pages" instead of turns and rounds.

Um... can I go ahead and pre-order this hypothetical game that James V. West is now practically required to create? I can send cash if that will help. :)

Hey all,

I can't seem to find a copy of inquest anywhere these days.  (They used to carry Inquest everywhere - even at all the local grocery stores -but not anymore.)

Does Inquest have a website? ( A google search for 'Inquest' seems to turn up nothing useful and Marvel.com didn't have anything on their game yesterday.)

I prefer to check out a game's quickstart before I decide about purchasing it. Got any ideas on alternate places where I can look? Or am I simply going to have to wait until it's on the shelf?

Thanks!
Sparky

I believe several japanese rpgs use this idea to demonstrate "how to roleplay" in their manuals, often using one set of panels to show the players in "real life" sitting around the table, talking rules and points and such, and another set to show "in the game" with the various characters.

It's a great idea that hasn't made its way to the US probably solely due to the costs of artwork.

Hello,

This thread has now spawned several sub-topics, some of which are pretty neat and others which are flapping their flippers, trying to stand up. I also think the original topic has been beaten flat and breathed its last.

Please take all discussion to new threads, and begin them with clear topics.

Thanks,
Best,
Ron

I can't seem to find these threads. Can anyone help me, here?

I want to answer any/all questions folks have with the system, be it here or elsewhere.

Umm, most of the threads on the Marvel RPG have tapered out a bit. If you want to address and answer questions about it, why not start a new thread?

Thanks. Will do.
