Marvel Universe Roleplaying Game
There’s a new Marvel Universe Roleplaying Game coming out, that seems to continue the trend of its two (unrelated) predecessors of innovative simplicity. This game is diceless; unlike the previous incarnation (TSR’s SAGA system), it doesn’t use cards either. The mechanic seems to be resource management, spending tokens (actual plastic chips they call “stones”) of effort to do things.
There’s a discussion on the Forge where the reaction seems to be much more optimistic than on the other gaming boards – instead of “ugh! no dice!” it’s “indie gaming is validated!”.
