Just a quick introduction, I always enjoyed V&V and just dusted off the books to play some light-hearted comicbook inspired games with my children.

This site looks like a great resource!


Great to hear it (and see you here, Galieo)!

I've played some V&V with a number of my kids as well, and it's a great game for doing that.  Welcome!    Smiley

Nice! I miss the old days of paper-and-dice play; drinking pop, eating burgers and or donuts and having a blast playing V&V, AD&D, (yikes, I just dated myself) etc.... I did a google search and found this active site, and even the new publisher's info. I'll buy the PDF of the latest V&V and be back to see about joining a PbEM game. Ah, to revamp and old character idea or to make a new one? Fun stuff!  Cool

Glad you found us, there seems to be a bit of a resurgence of old school gamers coming back after many years of absence. depending on where you're located, you might be able to find and active V&V gaming group.

Greetings, all!  Smiley

I've been rolling the polyhedrons since 1979, and starting my career as a referee with 1st-edition V&V in 1980.  I moved on to 2nd Edition in '82 and ran a pretty-much uninterrupted campaign for about ten years, after which Real Life™ expanded to fill all available space for awhile.

The resurgence of My Favoritest Game EVAR™ has brought me out of retirement, and I'm in the process of rebuilding my old campaign, which draws its inspiration from such diverse sources as Saturday-morning cartoons, MEGO action figures, Jack Kirby's Fourth World stories, and the 1980 Flash Gordon movie (we tended to get a little silly and campy sometimes...);  lucky for me I've kept all my notes and character sheets from those days!   Cool

...

Now I just have to find them all...  Huh

Looking forward to interacting with fellow grognards; I can also be found on the MHG board.

Welcome. We've got a couple of Canadians (as well as a few who've migrated south) who hang out here.

Thinks by the link on Kenvin's signature, that it's spam.  And if this person is for real, please remove the link from your profile.

Hiya,
I'm new here. From a quick glance at the threads on my way in, I recognized a couple handles from the Criticalfumble.net forum (I go by Ja§on over there).

I'm always glad to bat around ideas, particularly of the superhero RPG variety. I've played V&V on and off since the early 80s, and RPGs in general since the late 70s. I'm deep into superhero movies, books, etc, and I'm doing my best at raising the next generation to know their mutants from their cyborgs.

I am a compulsive character creator, sketcher, and rules tinkerer, so V&V is probably my favorite overall game. And that, in a somewhat oversized and untidy nutshell, is why I'm here.

Glad you decided to migrate over, and see what's up.  Smiley

Hiya Majestic!
Jason's fine. I was a little hasty registering, and put my easy-to-remember given name in the first ID field, then the one based on my email (gamergeek_xxxl@yahoo.com is anyone's interested) in the second.
In the pre-CritFumble days, I posted under my given name at webrpg, rpghost, and a couple other V&V forum incarnations from the mid-90s on.

Hello,

Just registered today, really enjoy the site and the depth people put into their hero's. I've been rpging since the early 80's, got hooked on V&V mid 80's (although I havent played V&V since 1991). Just found out over Christmas that V&V was back and immediately bought the rule book. I started playing Pathfinder last year but can't convince the group to try V&V, their loss.  Hopefully, I can find a group in my area interested in V&V!!

Anyway great site and I look forward to contributing in the future.

Welcome to the site, good to see another former V&V player rejoin the fold, and you'll also find a few Pathfinder players here as well.

Thanks for the welcome! Does anyone have advice on how to find a V&V group? Is their a previous post/thread discussing this, or sites you might recommend.

Where do you live as we seem to be in small clusters around certain areas of the country.
