Hello everyone,

I'm not really sure what to write so i'm going to warn you all now that i intend to babble
Names Max and i've been a comics fan for years - even drew some comics professionally which was fun but now i work as an art director which is nice cause of the health benefits which i need as i'm dealing with brain cancer. Kind of scary that.

Aside form art and doing art things I like comic books, both Marvel and DC. I'm a big fan of the Classic Marvel Super Hero game from the 80s and i bought a copy of it on Ebay. I also built a website - www.xpg.us which is based on the X-Men movies and uses many of the classic Marvel rules to run an RPG. It's pretty fun and we have lots of ncie people over there and all are welcomed.

I use to be a real comics collector until i lost everything in a flood which sucked. But i do read X-Men, Young X-Men, Young Avengers and the entire Marvel Ultimate line... If they made an Ultimate Young Avengers book i'd buy it (laughs). At this time i have a couple hundred comics laying around my house which always seem to vanish - i've no idea where they go given time. I think i give them away. Now i put them in little white boxs, so i can give them away in a more organized fashion (laughs).

So uhm... thats all i can think of to say at the moment. I have three cats and also one stray that lives out doors and i feed. uhm. told you all i'd babble
Can't wait for the Hulk - Ironman rocked as a movie!

Welcome indeed, Max

You're in good company around here, with the rest of us comics / rpg / general superhero stuff weirdos

Sorry to hear about the brain cancer. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family in dealing with all that comes with such things.



P.S. I'll see your 3 cats and 1 stray, and raise you an additional cat and stray apiece, plus two children

Welcome chezshire!

I'm honestly sorry to hear about your health trouble. It seems many of my friends are dealing with that in varying degrees right now, so I empathize with you.

On top of that floods are generally considered bad, but when they wipe out your comics, they are really horrible.

Hope you enjoy what we have to offer here on this website and forum.

Hello and thanks for the well wishes,
I'm pretty optimistic at this moment as i have a 35% prognoses for a near full recovery, which is more then i had earlier in the month so I'm happy I've been wandering through your sight tonight and exploring and i think that this (the third version of it if i'm understanding everything i've read tonight is very spiffy overall and I applaud everyone's work here). I'm building something like this or i wish i could say its like this but it's different - more RP oriented then community focused. I did put a link up to this site on mine

thanks for the nice thoughts - i'm off to go watch it rain some more - we're having these wondeful showers tonight so i'm having fun goofing around in the rain.
Off to slush in the puddles

night!

Welcome to the community Max, you are always welcomed here. I'm positive that your life and health will dramatically improve. Just think of your self already feeling better. Mind Over Matter. You'll be amazed at what your mind can do for you. Be strong, laugh a lot, watch funny comedies and don't think about the bad stuff, just don't. You'll do fine, I'm sure of it.

Thanks again RAGs (I think i like saying RAGs as it sort of makes the skulls and fire a little less scary. Someone you call rags is the sort of skelton you make smores with over an open fire vs. being fed to the fire by the skelton

Thanks for the well wishes and such. Also if your interested, this is the pod cast of the superpowers version of this american life 'http://www.thisamericanlife.org/Radio_Episode.aspx?episode=178'

I'm back again, didn't realize the forums went through so much in my absence

Boy there have been alot of changes around here! Hi. I'm Bricks.

I started gaming back in the mid 80's (1983 or 84 I think). At first it was AD&D. Can't remember what edition that was. Whichever one had the Djin on the DM handbook. Eventually my group moved on to other games. MSH was the second game I tried. I loved it. Then we got the advanced edition and loved it even more. We moved onto Villians and Vigilantes, Shadowrun, and tried a few others along the way. Anyway, college came along, and then life happened and we eventually split of course, but MSH was never forgotten.

Maybe 6-7 years ago, I came upon classicmarvel.com. There are some very cool things I remember about the site. I remember the great debates about True Invulnerability, Magic. I remember thinking how cool it was that David E. Martin posted on the site. I remember Wolfspyder. It's great to see some of the same names from a few years ago. I'm still trying to catch up with everything that happened, but it's good to see everything, and everyone here.

I'm 38 now. Have a 6 year old son, a new wife (got married this past memorial day to my childhood friend), and a baby on the way (due in December). My wife's brother is one of the best friends I have in the world and was one of my main gaming buddies from back then. She still remembers the days when her older brother and his buddies would cram into his bedroom for those all night gaming sessions, desperately yelling out "KARMA" while she tried to sleep. I guess I feel like although the experience guarantees that she will never be a gamer, at least I trust that she gets me.

So earlier this week, I began teaching my 6 year old how to play chess. He's still learning to read so comics have been great for him, but I can't wait for him to get a little bit older. I'll introduce him to the old MSH material on my comp.

Welcome back to the community.

Welcome Back 'bricks'!!!!

Welcome back, Bricks Nice to see more of the old-timers popping back in, along with newer faces

Hey all.

Caesarmoo here. Westcoast kid living in the mild south.

I started gaming in Jr High and found MSHRPG in highschool (approx 91ish). i played only as a player for many years and didnt try judging until around 98-00.

Sadly, that was about the same time my whole group disolved into marriages, arguments, busy jobs, moving away, or just general disinterest. I havent gamed at all since then. I got back into gaming about 8 months ago with West End Star Wars (yeah, i love the older systems) and when that ended, i thought i would try my hand at judging a MSHRPG game.

I still have some of my old books but i remember almost nothing of the combat specifics. That lead me to looking around. I found a lot of sites that havent had a single update since 05 or older. When i found recent posts here, i got excited and signed up.

Hope to talk Superhero Nerd with all of you.

Welcome to the community caesarmoo. We are glad to have you.

Okay, I'm back. Now everyone play nice.

Okay, but only because you said so.

Welcome back.

Hello everyone, I was just shown this site today by my girl and I have looked around it for a bit and am impressed with the stuff here. I really like the character write ups that are done. I have done d20 rpgs for about a decade now and have also done some other rpgs as well. I love making up character stats and have a tendency to do that a lot when I get bored. About a year ago I made over 50 character stats for a number of marvel characters using the d20 modern system. Compared some of those to yalls d20 conversion here and its pretty close.

I look forward to reading more of the stuff located here and learning the ropes so to speak. Guess thats about it for my intro so have a nICE day

Welcome to the Classic Marvel forums Andferne and I hope you have a long and happy stay here!

Hi my name is Colin.

I don't even know where to begin... I was in middle school when I first started playing RPGs with D&D and MSH. I gravitated more towards super heroes and stuck with them all the way into the 90's. My friends and I had made a team called Vortex and played them relentlessly. Over time I went to college and moved and then got married but the Vortex team never really left me. When City of Heroes came out I jumped at the chance to make my old MSH team and did. I don't PnP game as much anymore but I'm really glad to know that this game is still played!

Knighthawk and Andferne, welcome to ClassicMarvelForever.com!

Welcome, Knighthawk, and Andferne as well.

Hang out, enjoy, and have a cold one

Thank you Nightmask and Skycutter

Hey all - yah well I started Rpging way back in the 70s out of the Basic D&D manual an worked my way through all the dice an rule modifications. Found MSHs an ran with it up til 1996 an got into the military an got back into AD&D, d20 an found a New Love "Werewolf - The Appocolypes(spell check)" got out of the Military an found Mutants an Masterminds, an went back to The One an only Marvel Super Heroes RPG. Sadly enough my game master will not start another campaign due to not enough self motivation.
38 yrs old, Maine. Learned to read off of Vamprella - inked Magazine. My first time reading a Marvel was Dr. Strange, Tales to Astonish or Tales of Mystery? not sure of the title but know it was Dr. Strange

Welcome to the boards, Chi!!! Hope you enjoy yourself.

Well I Bought THe Box Set MSH RPG, The Ultimate Powers Source Booklet, an The Box set of Magic(NPC's/Dieties/Spells, personal/universal/Dimensional, Items of magical origins. And how to create a magic wielding player, one of my favorite collections). For my Game Master no longer plays his version (worlds or On the Clock Gaming) of Marvel. Have found World Of Warcraft, that takes care of mine an their D&D fix but... I do miss the Rolling of the 10s - was really big into Werewolf/Vampire- the Apocolypse/Masquerade, Mutants an Masterminds for a short run, but always love the Marvel Game Masters that made their own Marvel Mainstreem twists an turns.. Thanks all Again if any of you are Dr. Strange fans check the Source Books.

Hello, true believers!

I am Eric from NJ, who has had fond memories of playing FASERIP Marvel from the 80's on.

Truth be told, I am looking for scanned maps to use with maptools (rptools.net) or suggestions on map making. One of my dear friends I have always played with now lives in Florida and we are using maptools so he can still play.

From our own Marvel Universe, all I can say is "All Hail the Feeble Fool!"
