batguy Posted September 3, 2023 Report Share Posted September 3, 2023 Since marvel comics now publishes it's own role-playing game,i hope dc comics does it's own role-playing game very soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted September 4, 2023 Report Share Posted September 4, 2023 Since you want it, I hope for your sake they do. But personally, I've found both comic companies to have been rather creatively bankrupt for years, and their universes having become something of a convoluted bloated mess. Neither world entices me to role-play in it any more. I'm happier with our Champions Universe for my supers gaming fix.

Duke Bushido Posted September 4, 2023 Report Share Posted September 4, 2023 Ans to be fair, I doubt either will come up with something better than the DC RPG of some decades ago. Admittedly, I was never really a comic book kid, but I know a solid game when I play it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Neilson Posted September 4, 2023 Report Share Posted September 4, 2023 (edited) Given the relative performances of the Big Two at the theatres, I suspect MCU is currently a much more valued IP. I wonder how DC Adventures did for Green Ronin. They hit a major speedbump with the "New 52" reboot rendering most of their material obsolete overnight, and published their last product in 2013, so not long after MCU really established itself with the first Avengers movie.

Asperion Posted September 4, 2023 Report Share Posted September 4, 2023 The way I have seen both companies, they have been putting must of their efforts into the film industry, not the comics that made them. Marvel seemed to be better mostly because they were first, but that really means little. In the long run, they floundered as much as (if not more than) DC did while DC was attempting to replicate what marvel was doing. Now, both are falling faster than the rock that killed the dinosaurs.

Christopher R Taylor Posted September 4, 2023 Report Share Posted September 4, 2023 If DC were to put out a new RPG (which, I have heard they are), they would be well served to make it a very simplified, streamlined version of their setting instead of trying to dump everything all at once on people.

And since when has any company been able to make anything simple, especially at the start? I agree, start with the core concept and characters doing basic tasks (like modern versions of bank jobs) and let people build upon that as time passes.
