Margaret Weis Productions, the company that has made RPGs for Leverage, Smallville, Supernatural, Firefly and other fairly well-known genre (I hate that word used like this) properties have landed the Marvel license. Their plan is to make a fairly slim core rulebook and then publish adventure/campaign books based on various Marvel "events" and storylines, all in two versions - one including the basic rules and one without them.
The first one they're doing?
Civil War.

I have moderately fond memories of the original Marvel RPG.

We played that a lot when I was younger. I think it was my first RPG in English.

It was one of a lot of such games that I played with various friends. The sad thing is, when my cousin moved away, he happened to have the box in his home, and they took it. I never saw it again. Not that I would've continued to play, all by myself. Now, though, there's Michael's online RPG. That scratches that particular itch. dakotanightsong.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=humarvel |

From the lead designer:
"Pretty sure Howard [the Duck] will be in the 50-States Initiative supplement for Civil War."

At least that has continuity basis! Makes more sense than packaging a Howard toy with the Silver Surfer  . |
