So where do I sign up to play? I've been searching the forums for the place to submit my character for GM approval.

There are a number of games running right now, some of which are still taking Players. Recently I moved the three most currently posted campaign threads to the top of the Discussion board. They should be somewhere near the top, or at least on the first page. Check those out, then Private Message or E-Mail the Judges if you like. All of those games are ran on Google or Yahoo! There are at this time, no games being run on this board. This website and forum serve more as a resource for Players and Judges, rather than a center for gaming itself.
Feel free to send me a Private Message if you have any further questions, or simply post them in the appropriate forum and I'm sure one of our senior members will respond in kind.

Aw nuts. I thought this website was a game. How embarassing.
Okay, I get it now.

Dead Sidekick,

Your not the first one man. No worries.
> How embarassing.
Not at all. We've considered adding a gaming board, but right now there is just too much other stuff going on behind the scenes here.
> Okay, I get it now.
Nice. If you really want to game, do check out those threads. Also not a bad idea to post whatever character(s) your thinking of playing in the Your Favorites section, as it makes it an easy reference for would-be Judges.
Good luck!

I may do that soon. I've played several different superhero genre RPGs, but I always liked the old Marvel FASERIP system (I'm old skool...)
I was surprised people still play this game. The d/l section here has just about every module I can think of. Wow!

Greetings.
The name's Nathan,
A little bit about me.. I've been roleplaying since about '83, and MSHRPG was the second system I played. (D&D was the first). I was always one o those overactive achievers as a child, and as such the first books I read were Robert E. Howard's Conan series. I was 4 at the time ( I know how old I was cause i was reading Conan of Aquilonia during the first Mt. St. Helens eruption). Followed shortly after by Heinlein, Asimov, Lovecraft, Clarke, McCaffery and Norton. I've never really lived in the "real" world because I find it too darn boring. Who cares about elections when the X-men are battling the Brotherhood? Or when Kang has the Avengers over a barrel? I have a vast library of hard copy books, and a fair library of comic books (although due to "life" have not been able to maintain the collection.) Over the years I've played most of the systems here, but D&D (in all it's editions), and MSH have always been mainstays.
I've been married for 3 years, and have a 2 year old daughter, (too young to teach how to R.P.) and my wife's a gamer too. We're both Otaku, although not of the Yiffing variety. My favourite anime's are in no particular order, Bleach, Kenshin, Ranma 1/2, Robotech, Naruto (the manga), Fruits Basket.
I work as a Security Officer for a Private company in the GTA, and have been in the security field for 15 1/2 years. Interests include Reading, Writing (working on a novel), Martial Arts, Ancient Asia Spec. Japan, poetry, and singing. I'm also an Adult Sunday School teacher for my local congregation.
I used to lurk around when aunt petunia ran the site, but never registered, so I recognize some of the names here, and finally decided to register. I must say glad to be here.

I'd have to go with Grand Master Happosai, and the heir to the Anything goes school of Martial Arts Ranma Satome but i also love Nabiki. (I think she's the one that enables the school to stay open.) and as Dumb as they are, I still have a soft spot for Kuno and Kodachi

Hiya, I recognize a couple of you from the mailing list. I'm Doggie, I use to bug people on that list every so often and did some art work for a couple people.
I run 3 games on yahoogroups, 2 MSH games and a DnD Greyhawk game. I also run a #Ravenloft game on Darkmyst mIRC.
I'm really glad to see Marvel isn't dead and it still lives somewhere.

Just realized that I never said hello when I joined.
I've been interested in the old MSH game since the late 80's when I found a copy of the advanced set in some toy store somewhere. I've been reading Marvel comics since I could, well, read and I was hooked on the concept of playing in the world from the first page.
Now this is where I'm sure I differ from most here that have had the game since the 80's--I've never actually played it. Yep. Never had friends into rpg's as a kid and teen so we all wound up playing sports or video games. With the advent of the internet I've had the ambition of playing the game online for years now. I'm hoping to make that a reality soon.
Sorry, Logan. Super Heroes wear costumes. And quite frankly, all the black leather is making people nervous.--Cyclops, Astonishing X-Men #1

Hello everyone. I am a life long comics lover with Marvel taking up most of my collection. I still have them in boxes somewhere in a closet in my house. I got into RPGs sometime after taking up my comics collecting in the late 80s and early 90s. I played DC Comics role playing, D&D, Robotech, Rifts and of course Marvel RPG. Growing up and various room changes and moves have left my books packed somewhere buried in the garage which is why I was excited to find this site and see all of the texts faithfully in digital format. I have been reading this site for a short while now and made an account to get in these heated comics debates
I love that the game is still around and figured I have some time to discuss an old hobby I loved.
My favorite characters and comics growing up-
Daredevil
The Hulk
X-Men
Wolverine
Bullseye
The Taskmaster
Captain America
Spawn
More recently-
Preacher
Hellblazer
Sandman
The Boys
Deadpool

Greetings!
Been a lurker on here for a bit, reading and perusing the information.
Wanted to say hello, and tell a bit about myself. While I never was one for collecting comics, I've was into playing P&P games all throughout my life, especially highschool. I've played a bit of everything over time - D&D, Palladium, Marvel, etc. Of course, with a wife and 2 kids I don't get to do that anymore
It's probably been a good 10 years since I've done any P&P gaming.
Anyway.. I enjoy reading the forums here, and just wanted to say hi!
