Welcome to my Marvel Heroic Role-Playing Game blog, for my MHR campaign, The Amazing Avengers!

This is going to be my info-dump for resources I’ve created or modified for the game I’m running:

This will be mostly custom builds for characters -- heroes and villains -- and notes on their construction, but I'll likely also put up other notes and ideas, things from the campaign, perhaps some essays, and maybe some general thoughts on role-playing games in general.  There won’t be much structure to this, I’ll just post stuff when I feel I want to share it, but it will hopefully be accessible enough that you’ll find some interesting stuff to use.  And hopefully it will be a place to interact with other MHR, RPG, Marvel, and comics fans, so be sure to post ideas, reactions, comments, and criticisms.  I set up my campaign to be a constantly evolving and shared story, so I seek as much interaction as possible.

My game is always open to new players, and even those who have never played can get on it after watching a tutorial I made:

That, and looking over the working posts so far to see how the game flows, should be enough to get going. When you contact me, be sure to mention that you found it from this blog.  You won’t get a free side of fries but I’ll know where you’re coming from (literally) and it will show that this blog is doing something.

About me: I started role-playing back in the mid-’80s with the FASERIP Marvel Superheroes RPG.  I went to other RPGs from there, including Cyberpunk and a protracted Shadowrun campaign, but often came back to superhero games, particularly the Marvel ones and DC Heroes 2nd Edition.  Most of the time I was the GM, a role I did not mind as long as the game was going.  The last big campaign I ran was a World of Darkness one back in college then didn’t have much to do with RPGs again until Marvel Heroic, which got me back in, big-time.  I’ve been with the game since it was still being published and I’m just as excited about it now as I was when I started, if not more.  I live and work in the Los Angeles, CA area.
