Too Many Shinies

I’m an idiot.

But a lot of you already knew that.

The latest proof:

I ordered and received the X-Men Expansion book for the Marvel Multiverse Role Playing Game a few months ago, but like most expansions I’ve gotten lately, I may have taken a quick look at it, barely skimming it.

And it wasn’t until today that it dawned on me to look up Alpha Flight,

Lo and behold, the team that went after Wolverine in X-Men #120 is in there (along with Puck but no Marrina), along with full stats.

UNCANNY X-MEN (1963) #121 page by Chris Claremont and John Byrne

Talisman and Nemesis are also listed in the character section, alongside The Master of the World.

I just find it odd that Marrina is mentioned in the description of the various teams in AF’s history, but no character/stat sheet in this book.

At some point I’ll need to retrieve those Alpha Flight miniatures that I 3D printed that are currently in storage.

Don’t touch that dial!

YouTube

I have to admit that I don’t know why it took me so long to use YouTube the way I have over the past few weeks.

In that time I’ve gotten a better (full) understanding of the basic game mechanics of at least 3 4 different RPG systems that I’ve owned for more than a few years, but never sat down to really learn any of them.

  • Star Trek Adventures
  • Dragonbane
  • Savage Worlds Adventure Edition
  • edit: Marvel Multiverse Role-Playing Game

And other video tutorials are enticing me to learn more about still others.

Heck, I may finally learn how to play GURPS.

Stand by!
