Kickstarter - DC Heroes Role-Playing Game 40th Anniversary

I was never a big supers gamer. That could be because my teenage friends collected Marvel Comics, and I was a big DC fan. Heck, even in college, DC Comics ruled for me. So, I never got into Marvel Super Heroes like others in my group did. I owned the Mayfair DC Comics rules but I never could get my group to play it.

Well, Cryptozoic is bringing the original DC Heroes game back, both in the first and second editions, in all its glory. I'm so tempted, but I'll never play it. Backer levels start at 60 bucks and increase from there.

DC Heroes on Sale At OBS - Full set of books

Everything above comes to less than $20. Each is $4.95

Damn tempting to pick this line-up up, as I was a DC fanboy back in my comic book days. Don't expect I'd ever run it, as I'm not that big on supers RPGs.

Still, less that 20 bucks for the full line of DC Adventures RPG? (in PDF for those that need the clarification) Pretty good deal.

Games From the Basement - DC Heroes

Ashly has a little Darkseid
in her, like most cats

I've mentioned before on this blog that I'm not a big player of "supers" RPGs.  That being said, I was one hell of a DC fanboy from Junior High School right through College.  Which meant I had to pick up the DC Heroes RPG when it came out.

This is a heavy box.  It is literally stuffed.  When I grabbed the game box off the shelf, I figured I must have stuffed some additional supplements into the box, but no, it was all that was listed on the back of the box. I'm amazed that it shipped with a GM Screen, as that's usually the first add on that they try to hit you with (at least back then).

As far as I can recall, we never played this.  I think I was the only DC junkie in the group.  I know we played Marvel Super Heroes on occasion, but I never ran the games, as I never owned it.
