I coulda sworn towards the end of Dragon publishing marvel rules, there was something about normal characters like the Punisher, they got more talents, etc. But I can't seem to find the rules. Does anyone else remember this?

It does exist, I'm not sure off the top of my head which issue it was in although there should be an archive of all the Marvel-related articles from Dragon magazine somewhere.

A little deeper digging and I came up with Dragon #197, Heroes of the Streets Arise! It was an advanced supplement. They revised the origins table and they get more talents and contacts. Thanks for the reply!

You're quite welcome. I was going to end up looking through the PDF to see which one it was later today but glad you were able to find it yourself.

This information also exists in the pages of Major Tom Sawyer's Ultimate Origins book.

Where can I see that?

RF, You can find it here: [web.archive.org] . You will find it 2nd from the bottom of the Marvel Phile articles, which starts at the top of the page. There are many other Dragon Magazine Articles for Marvel Super Heroes there as well!!! Probably all of the Dragon Magazine Articles are located there!!! Enjoy!!!

Issue 88 has an interesting note on Loki's Talisman, and issue 122 splits the mental powers of the High Evolutionary from the armour (which I never thought made sense).

This is a great resource!

Thanks,

Rf

I believe the location at the link I provided above has all of these Dragon magazine articles and others that either directly or indirectly pertain to MSH!!! It's well worth checking it out!!!

I see that there is a download here for one Dungeon magazine module, there was a second in a later issue, plus there were a few from Imagine magazine that are not listed here in the downloads!!! I sent a PM to Skycutter with links to these files, to make them available for download here!!!

you are welcome! You like D&D too, so the dragondex is probably an amazing resource for you.

Having just lost my computer for a week (hard drive cooked), it's been a bitch trying to recover various web sites, etc, but dragondex was easy to recall...very useful indeed for a gamer geek like me!

Just reloaded this one, and got new password. Hopefully I need not do all this crap again for some years. Windows 10 is annoying so far, and I cannot get my sound going worth a damn, but eventually, I guess. No computer sure is awful, so I cannot complain too much!
