Marvel Actual Play Demo

Greetings, True Believers! This special demo podcast features the brand new Marvel Heroic Roleplaying! Jason Tondro, Rick Jones, and Theron Bretz play Iron Man, Spider-Man, and Luke Cage respectively. James Dawsey counts his dice as The Watcher (GM) for the game. Brace yourselves for an epic adventure that spans almost three hours!!

If you like the game, please feel free to leave a comment and let us know! We made some mistakes (our first time with this one) but very minor ones- I missed some opportunities for Extraordinary Success and neglected some of the rules until later in the session- But that’s how you know it’s “For Reals!” :) Enjoy the show, and Stay Vigilant!
