>TSR is no longer licensed to produce any new Marvel Super Heroes material,
>though some of the original material is still available directly from
>their Mail Order Hobby Shop. (The Ultimate Powers Book is out of print,
>though.)
>There was talk at one time about releasing a "generic" super hero game
>(not a Marvel license) using the MSH system, but I would think that the
>departure of Jeff Grubb from TSR makes this unlikely. (Darn shame.)
>
>As far as I know, no other company has acquired a Marvel license for an RPG.
>
>My partner Greg Poehlein and I have plans to produce a free electronic
>'zine that centers on material about games that are no longer in print.
>We're calling it the Orphan Games Gazette, and are wanting adventures,
>character designs, rule variants & expansions, etc. for games that are out
>of print. No pay involved, as the 'zine will be distributed free, but you
>can retain copyright to whatever you submit and sell it elsewhere, if you
>desire.

>An early issue of the Gazette (after the first of the year at the
>earliest) may center on Marvel, as there's a lot of interest. but we need
>articles. Anyone out there have material for us? If so, send email and
>I'll send writer's guidelines.
