Just wanted to put out a welcome thread here.

Feel free to introduce yourself.  Say a few words about yourself... what kind of gaming you like.  If it's just V&V.  Or whatever you feel like saying.

For the best way to get a good board going is to "talk."

So welcome and have fun! Smiley

Hello,

I am John, your host.   THanks for coming over.  I assume we all love the game V&V and comics.   I am trying to sort out posts from my old forum and I will have a lot to post in the next few days.   In the meantime, feel free to make your own new topics.

  I would like to say that I need your help.  If anyone remembers a thread from the old forum  please post it here and I will rewrite it as best as I can.  Also,  things marked as such *Something*  means that I have yet to hyperlink it to the proper thread.    I will ask peroidically if anyone sees any * *  that I may have forgotton about.

Hey  Vaughn!  Wow, long time no hear.  This site only took a day to set up.  The other admin is my friend Paul and he is a wiz with computers.  I tweaked a bit, but he did the heavy lifting.

   So whats going on in NM?    How is everyone?  Still reading comics?

Welcome, everyone.

I finally decided to drop by and chat.  I'm a long-time V&V player (27 years or so) and I still play regularly (have a group of about 8 that play every other week or so).

Thanks for putting the site together!

Welcome Majestic!    I think all who love V&V are in the same basic age group.   We all around 35-45?

I think MOST of us are in that age group.

My group has a little bit different of a demographic, but only because we have a few older people and a few second generation V&Vrs.  So we're as young as 17 and as old as mid-to-late 50's.

I'm 44, so I fit in that range.    Grin

DW, I'm not sure what other games you play, but I know that the guys that run Blackwyrm games are in your area, game, and attend cons on the regular. Holler at them, as a do know that a few of them are former V&V gamers. They also have a long running Champions campaign, an Aaron Sullivan, runs a M&M group.

Hello everyone.

Big long time fan of V&V, discovered it a couple of years after it had come out in the 2nd edit.

I like 4color hero gameplay. Not much into dark heroes but I do feel dark heroes are necessary (otherwise things might get kinda boring if everyone makes uplifting speeches and smiles like they are on a Crest Commercial)

I have everything by V&V including a lot of the stuff that eventually showed up on the net that didn't make it to product (Though... I am still missing the first rulebook and that module with the cyclops guy on it and three mile island in the background).
I was GM only for the games of V&V that we (our group of players) played.
I ran a campaign that lasted over 6 yrs (very character driven), and a reboot that lasted 3 more.

I have done a lot with V&V.
I am an illustrator (Though not professional... kinda turned that down and my back on that)... so I have LOTS of drawn stuff of V&V (huge HUGE love the the Crusaders team) and I love to write.
Including having made a ton of stuff for a now defunct (I think) computer game called Freedom Force (I have a site with a lot of the main characters from the various Modules of V&V if anyone is interested. Though it is a yahoo group... so you would have to join. I think I posted some of the images/creations on the Yahoo Villains and Vigilantes site).

Anyhow. Recently tried playing a online posting superhero game in a forum... that didn't turn out all that well. I was kinda confused about how the posting/gaming thing was done and felt the GM wasn't taking into account the posted actions of the players. He got upset... there was a bit of flaming (Though I dispise doing that) and I quit playing (figuring that was for the best). I was totally into 100% and did an incredible volume/body of work to expand the world that unfortunately for the players... they didn't get to see.

If anyone is interested I can post some stuff that I have done. I am going to post a pic of my interpetation of what the cover to MOST WANTED Vol. 2 should or could have looked like. The character is the cover foe from the V&V rulesbook 2nd Ed. I made him into the foe called Magnet Man (name derived from the Crusder's bent girder in their trophy room, from the module "Crisis at Crusader Citadel")

NOTE: I transfered the image to here.
http://www.villainsandvigilantesforum.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1252309392/1...

I can shrink this image or remove the [img  /img] links if you like and just make it standard link.

Obviously I have a great love for superheroes and a undying one for V&V (The first and in my mind... only truely good superhero RPG - 2nd edit mind you! *Grin*)

Great cover!   Welcome as well.  I would love to see some of your art.   I too, have had a bad experience with gaming, but only one.   I never tried a pbem or anything, but I am curious about it.   I hope you like it here.  And yes, how did you hear about this place?

Well... to be honest. After my dealing with the issue of my one time at trying a Posting (whatever you call it game) I just used google to do a search for Superhero RPGs... well suffice to say the list was a bit long, so refining it and of course using the tag "Villains and Vigilantes" I came across the word FORUM and you guys. As forums are usually an awesome place to discuss things... Here I am!

G7

This girl needs no introduction...

I transfered the image to my art area... so look here to see the image. thanks!

Yeah just got back into it.

Is this the old board I used to post on? did it hit a snag or get hacked?

So... are there rpgs going on here?
Is there someplace where they do go on?
Just curious... thinking about (possibly) trying my hand at GMing a game.

The old boards just sort of imploded, and everyone migrated away, but there are plenty of the old guys posting here.

Doctor Foom is running a PBEM game, that I, and a couple of others are part of. Several other posters regularly post updates of their games here.

I,  John Q Hoplite/Mike, Paulie, and Oni/Jimmy play V&V every other Friday at my place.  I try to post a synopsis of the adventures here.   Even though I don't personally know anyone else, I welcome their posts and enjoy them alot.   You look like you will fit right in.   And if you want to talk about other games, be my guest.

Hey there.

I'm in Syracuse, NY right now (been here 20 years), but moving back to Buffalo, NY in a little over a year.

V&V was my first, long-running campaign game (I ran a campaign world that was off and on for almost 15 years) and still my favorite superhero game for mid-level adventuring.  (The Hulk/ Superman/ Authority level games work, for me, better in other systems, but I don't generally like that power level as much anyway).

It's always great to go back and look at the old modules and characters, and I love the fact that its easy to run and keep track of.  (I used to keep all the NPC's on 3x5 cards- 5 boxes of them were still easy to take along...)

anyway, this looks like a great site.

Hello Splunge.

Welcome to the Villains and Vigilantes forum.

Yeah this is a great place to discuss all things V&V.
I just recently too though I remember some of these guys from a couple of the older rpg boards from a few years ago.

You'll have fun here.
Welcome again.

Hello Splunge.  I want to say hello and welcome you, AND I am not being indecisive.

Welcome to the V&V Forum Isungr.

Nice to see more people coming in.
I am relatively new here as well. But it is a great place and you will find other people with a general love of this "Old School" game.

Enjoy!

G7/Les

If you get a sec, could you tell us how you found this place?

Welcome everyone!  If we keep growing at this rate, we'll soon be able to petition Scott and Jeff to put aside their differences and bring back V&V to take over the role-playing world!

As for the 3x5 cards, I've started listing our villains and putting some of their basic info on them.  I've only done about 100, and we've got well over 300 villains in our campaign, so it's tough to keep up (so many projects, so little time!)

Welcome to you all, and I look forward to interacting with you here!    Smiley

I wish Jack Herman would join... would love to hear some of his insights.

Welcome to everyone who is new to this forum. I am relatively new here as well... but it has been an incredibly enjoyable experience.
This is a very laid back forum (No signs of flaming yet... except in mention of the power that mirrors it).

Yes, it would be awesome to have him.  I've met Jack (and chatted with him) for a few hours, and he's a really nice guy.  It would be awesome if he joined us some day.

Welcome Nemo.

So are you any relation to Captain Nemo or possibly Little Nemo?

or are you a WHOLLY other Nemo?

btw... your safe here... I doubt this place will drive you to drink. But if you do decide to... at least here being driven to drink your less likely to faces charges of a DUI. LOL

If he does drink, he would not be wise to brag about it here.  Nemo, you see, is my son (and he's not 21).    Grin

I would like to officially welcome Stormdance to the forum, and to my player group.  He is a really cool guy.   Even my cat, Thor, liked him.    Which is bad for Stormdance.  He is very allergic to cats.

At least Winnie and Lucy, my other two cats were nice enough to hide.

Hi,

I am a V&V reader,  I started collecting V&V in college and attempted GMing several groups - none survived long but I love the material and always go back to them for inspiration and fun.  I think I am on my 3rd buying of the modules.
  

V&V character creation is too much fun.

I too wish to wish everyone a warm welcome, and hope to continue to see this place grow. If you know of anyone who has an interest in V&V, point them in this direction, and invite them over.

Finding NEMO!  Love that movie  Smiley

Welcome all new members.   I am the hostess of this lovely place though I seldom post.  I am not very experienced in V&V, though I am married to John so you'd think I would be.

I enjoy playing the game however... from time to time.

It's great to see so many people joining and even more great to see that drama is seldom and quickly rectified.

Hi, I played V&V way back when I was a sophomore in high school. I'm now a 41 year old dad of 3. Most of my rp buddies,myself included, switched over to Champions during the later years of high school. We still plat champions and so does my oldest daughter. Havent seen anything for V&V in years. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who saved all that old stuff. I am going to try to convert a champs character to V&V and try this site to play. Any suggestions on conversions?

Welcome, Aramax/Bob.

That's really cool!  I've never met Jeff in person (though I have Jack Herman), but I've talked enough with him via email that I feel like I've known him for years.  That's got to be a cool memory, playing one of the first games with 2nd Edition!    Smiley

Oh, out and about. I've been working on a "V&V 3rd Edition" homebrew and have been running a once monthly gamers group.

eLock - did you have another handle on the old V&V forum boards?

I'll post them on the Rules changes forum thread. A lot of them are 'almost given', considering so many V&V-ers have been facing the same issues and certain areas keep getting revised again and again.

I've made enough changes to declare this homebrew a separate system, and it may lose some of its good V&V-ness.

But V&V is inspiring and one of my favorite things was 'discovering' your PC through random rolls, then modifying and firming them up with a GM's help.

Another fave was Power Points/Hit Points, which gave the Player some control over how to use their assets for dramatic purposes.

Biggest house rule/change that everyone seems to dig:

Invulnerability (like Supes has) is more of a personal SSR (Structural Strength Rating). If you have Invulnerability of 12, you ignore any attack that is 12 points of damage or less. If you are hit for 15 pts, you take 3.

This is per action, not per turn. It does hype things up, so for lower-powered campaigns, you'd do 3d6 instead of 3d10 to get the Invulnerability.

PLANS:
I'm trying to make a V&V Sourcebook of my house rules and it will be available for free/$1 download in a month (crosses fingers). I'll do a second one later with contributors - that will be more comprehensive, people will be reimbursed in some fashion and it will be more "buffet style"  - take what you want. Two different takes on one idea can be included in that one.

Thanks for all the interest!

Thank makes sense, given the house rule dynamic you described. I like how much care you take when presenting your ideas. It's very easy to understand where you're coming from.

We've talked about a similar power here, Invincibility, It is not per action, but per attack, though, the suggestion here was for 1d10, since it affects every attack.  3d10/attack would be a serious advantage in most games I've played...

Oh, YEAH!! Wink

I keep Invulnerability as the descriptor because it means "not vulnerable". [Secret Disappointment with DC Heroes - they made Superman's "Invulnerability" into "power recovery" - and I was like "What the...?!!" Sad ]

I use the descriptor "Invincibility" for another power: power point regeneration - i.e. you get back power points per TURN instead of per minute. In actual gameplay, sort of "eh", but when played out, it means a PC can run without stopping, fight without resting, and is basically an Energizer bunny that you CANNOT keep down.

Also, since V&V says death occurs at the loss of all power and hit points, the PC cannot be truly killed. In mere seconds, they get some power back and in minutes they are fully charged. Thus, "invincible"  as in "The Invincible Iron Man" seemed to be more apropos.

I DO make a difference between "True (Nigh) Invulnerability" -Superman/Tick style and "Invulnerability" to preserve the standard rules but permit an "enhanced" per attack version.

LOL!  For the most part he just thinks they are cool.  He love beetles.  I am sure if he could have them as pets, he would.  Unfortunately, our 3 cats would probably eat them.. LOL.

I like scarabs because they are so Egyptian in thought.  I mean when someone says scarab, I think Egypt.  *shrugs*

I almost feel out of place using Eric as my username instead of a character name.   Cheesy

Maybe I should change my username to:  Zeppelin (one of my old fave V&V characters) or Talisman (one of my newer fave V&V characters).  LOL

Thanks!  You probably know me from critical fumble as Eric E.  I'm incognito.

Zeppelin had a couple of heightened statistics, flight, and invulnerability.  I rolled very well on Invulnerability so he had mid-20s invuln.  He could fly fast enough to hit hyperflight.  But what made him memorable was the fact that he was a true hero.  The campaign was a Legion of the Superheroes sort, with interstellar heroes and villains.  Zeppelin stood out as an altruistic and heroic representative of Earth amongst a group of not quite so altruistic and heroic characters.

Zeppelin regularly risked himself (yeah, who'd believe that with invulnerability) to save others.  To the point that the invulnerability was normally used by damage as he would crash through barriers or into danger to save others.

He dressed in a blue body suit with a leather bomber style jacket, a leather skullcap with goggles, and a scarf (like a WW1 fighter pilot).

Incognito was one of my favorite names for a character with shapechange powers.

Zeppelin sounds cool, especially the costume.

Very cool!  I didn't know that, Eric!

I took over managing the group a couple of years ago when Tim Hartin asked me to; I had no idea you had started it up!

FWIW - I wasn't trying to brag about it (being a moderator is no big deal, in my view).  I was making sure he realized who "Doug" was on these boards (since some of us don't use our real names).     Wink

Absolutely - I've got a Star Trek CCG card (that I was looking at just a month or so ago) that shows McCoy (with his hands plastered up to the elbows) and the title of it is "I'm a Doctor, not a Bricklayer!"    Cheesy

Before any new rulebooks come out, is this adjunct sourebook described above ready for purchase? If not, is there an ETA?

Oh I get it. There was a joke thread over at another forum about V&V coming back. I read it as legitimate until it was revealed as a parody yesterday. This must be part of the same gag. I didn't realize it crossed forums.

Give me a good night's rest and a cup of coffee and I can keep up with the best of them!   Cheesy

(But seriously, if this is for real, would someone PM me with the details!  Cool )

She hasn't really done too much since then.  I mean sure she's worked, but it looks more like bit parts than anything else.

Hi, all:

I'm Stacy, Staff Writer for V&V. I've worked with Dave W on the past 2 modules. As he mentioned in another post, there are some great things lined up, and I'm excited to be part of them!

I started gaming when I was twelve and have been into tabletop/console/PC games ever since. I met Dave in college (I'd best not say more, he might come after me: kidding, Dave!) and look forward to working with him on future projects.

Thanks for the welcome from the other thread!

Stacy

Hi! I'm Dave Woodrum, I'm a huge fan of V&V of 20 years or more and I just happen to be lucky enough to be one of the designers of the new Villains & Vigilantes releases by FGU. I've worked with Stacy Smith on a couple of projects thus far and have plans to carry on this dynamic duo for many more!
If you have time, please check out the net freebies that Stacy and I have created for the FGU website. We have more in production so do check back every so often!

Dave & Stacy, if you get some time, would you mind telling us a little bit about you got into gaming, namely V&V, or sharing some of your former characters with us?

Sure! As I mentioned, I started gaming at age 12 with D&D.  I heard from a friend about V&V a few years later, and a few of us played that for a while as well.  Sadly, the group split up and I didn't find anyone to do gaming with again until I was almost finished with college. White Wolf was all the rage then, and I've gone through a number of gaming systems over the years since.  I haven't been an active tabletop gamer for a few years, but if I can find players I hope to start up a V&V game in the near future.

I'd like to add, it's really cool to be a "gamer girl."  There are more of us than ever, but guys still outnumber us 10 to 1, I'd say.  But I'm OK with that.  I've yet to meet a guy who didn't love the fact that, instead of complaining that he plays too much on the X-Box, I'd tell him to quit hogging it!  Cool

Since you have not had an opportunity to do any table top gaming in quite a while, shoot over to the "Where are you from?" thread. I'm sure there are plenty of individuals who would love to get together. Of course we are still working on some of the New York to Canada to Texas logistics but nothing is impossible......

I first got into gaming about the age of 10 when I became fascinated with the little lead miniatures of an older next door neighbor. Naturally, the miniatures just happened to be for the game D&D. I got the basic red box edition and immediately went for the whole idea of the character creation and adventure writing. I might be wrong on this but I’m thinking that V&V was my second rpg. I know that it was my second most played, and still is… but I can’t remember its exact place in my introduction to role playing. I must admit that getting into V&V then was a very happy accident. I was a Marvel comics fan and I wanted to get the Marvel rpg. At the time, however, Wargames West was sold out of the rpg and had no idea when it would be back in. Since V&V was much cheaper and I think they recommended it, I went for V&V instead. I immediately loved it and when I finally did get the Marvel rpg I was disappointed… I had become accustomed to V&V’s way of doing things, especially the random powers generation, and the other rpg didn’t hold the same excitement for me. So I stuck with V&V.
I honestly sat V&V aside for several years not out of lack of interest but rather because I had worn away my rulebook to nothing. This was the early to very mid 90’s and it was getting harder to find V&V stuff. About this time to I had become very serious about game design and spent most of my free time focus developing my own home brewed gaming systems and rules formats. Several years later I was finally able to break into the professional publication realm when I had the chance to work with Dark Quest Games on several products. This lead to other work as well, including a couple of projects with Dark Furies Publishing, a bit with EN Publishing, a couple of monsters for Sword Sorcery Studios, and some inexpensive releases with my own in house labels Top Fashion Games and Mossy Mountain Gathering.
I discovered the revival of V&V shortly after its re-release and approached FGU in regards to working on some new projects for V&V. The rest, of course, is recent history…

I am gonna go out on a limb and say that Jeff may not need my help with any art.  I am lucky if I can draw a scribble. Wink

Mr. Dedman, welcome to these forums!

For those of you that may not recognize the name, Stephen was the author of at least one V&V adventure - Pre-Emptive Strike - IIRC.

Glad to have you here!   Smiley

Looks like The Great Iridium Con might be Stephen's as well.  IIRC you hail from Australia, correct?  If so, what part? (I've visited Down Under many years back).

Hi all!

A V&V fan from way back, just getting back into V&V again.
Over the past ten years, my other games have been:
The Fantasy Trip (& Legends of the Ancient Worlds)
D&D 3.5
Savage Worlds
Star Wars Saga Ed
Dark Age Cthulhu

V&V was one of my "big three" back in the day, along with straight Call of Cthulhu and Middle Earth Role Playing (using Arm's Law/Spell Law) so it's good to be back.

I'm a big believer in the "if you can't find someone to game with, grow your own" school (even though I now do both) and I'm hoping to recapture some old magic by starting a V&V campaign with my kids.

Cool. Did he get his degree before or after writing two of the all time best V&V adventures of all time!

Welcome, Lord Inar!  I'm of the exact same school of thought on that.  When you start an awesome game, people will come and stick with it.  Our current V&V tabletop game started out with me and 3 others.  The other three aren't there anymore, but the campaign has continued.  The group has been as large as ten (with others wanting to join, but we just were too big), and quite a few of those have been gaming in this group for 18-19 years.  Now there's even a few of our kids that have joined in.

Very cool.  One of my V&V players is a Dr. as well (pediatrician).  When you get a chance, Dr. Dedman, let us know what you got your doctorate in!

I'm not Dr. Dedman, but I'll chime in! To paraphrase an old favorite cartoon of mine, "I'm not a real doctor, I'm just a Ph.D."

Welcome Lord Inar, I started playing V&V with my kids about a year ago, and it's been a lot of fun.  We spend a lot more time together, either playing or just talking about playing and what's going on.  They've started bringing friends home to play, as they talk about their adventures at school, and kids get interested. 

My oldest son has even started a little of his on GM'ing... I'd recommend it to anyone. 

We had openhouse last night at my kids school, and my 9 year old had written a story for his class.  I was very impressed by his creativeness,.  He wrote about a super powered bear with an electrified axe whose arch enemy was a giant snake.  Did make me wonder what his teacher thinks about where he gets this stuff.  Grin

Thank you!

Actually it is the little picture the very first issues of White Dwarf used at the end of articles (long before it became a GDW exclusive magazine.).

New to the forum. Glad I found it.

I run some V&V on RPOL.net. I have not played face-to-face V&V since about 1986, but love the game.

Hi everyone. Started playing V&V in 1982-1983, and was obsessed with it for about 5 years. Haven't played in a long time, but am slowly reacquiring my taste for the game. Finding this forum was a Godsend, and have spent the better part of 2 days neglecting my job while feverishly reading up on all of the threads I cram into my brain. I can't believe almost 27 years have gone by since I played Death Duel or Crisis. I've been playing a lot of D&D throughout the years, but I cut my RPG teeth on V&V, and feel very much like the prodigal son finding his way home.

I've been very impressed with the intelligence (gaming and otherwise) as well as the respect everyone shows one another on this board. I'm very happy to be here, and look forward to adding my 2 cents to the discussions as soon as I feel that I am up to speed.

It's awesome to have you here, Frezdc3!  I was just thinking about how much time has passed myself, as we first picked up V&V about the same time (late 1982 or early 1983).  Hard to believe so many years have gone by.  The game is still amazing, and it's cool seeing so many people come back to it again!  Welcome aboard!    Smiley

Hi all!  Just found this board, and couldn't stop myself from joining.  I never post on message boards, but this time I will make an exception.  I am an old V&V player from way back as well (82-89).  My friends purchased the M&M game recently, convincing me to play it, but my thoughts keep going back to V&V and how much I loved it.  I must be obsessed!  Grin

Hey Guys.
Been a while... so I thought I had better say something in here.

Hoping to start posting again here with a bit of frequency.... well maybe not as much as when I was unemployed... but at least getting in here once in a while.

Woohoo! G7 Rocks! Glad to see you back.

I haven't been on nearly as much as I used to, work is killer.  They cut jobs and spread the job duties without touching the pay... looks good on the books, but it's wreaking havok on the employees.

Hello all,

I played a lil V&V with Frezdc3 back in the day and he turned me on to the board.  Great stuff.  Now I get my superhero fix with CoH, but love anything V&V.

Hello and howdy!

I am new and looking to make some friends.

I have not played V&V in years (don't ask, I'm not telling)

Thought I'd post up and say some salutations. 

As a little side note, Avatar and I went to high school together and played V&V.  I run another popular super hero system every other friday that he plays in.  I won't be so callous as to mention it's name.  But you only need d6's to play it....

'Nuff for now!  Enjoy true Believers!!! Shocked

We've all felt the pull of the Dark Side, and many succumb to its allure.  I've personally fallen off the wagon a time or two. Smiley  Besides, they've got some wickedly cool stuff.

Hey everybody!  Just poking my nose in to say "Hi"!  I picked up V&V back in 83 or so and it was my first non-TSR product.  I've fiddled with it off and on for lots of years and it's nice to find a forum dedictated to it!  I look forward to reading lots of cool stuff from all of you!

Hi, I haven't posted in a while. So long in fact that I didn't remember my login data. So I'm back (again). It's still me! Just with a new avatar ... and sort of new name!

Greetings, all!  I have been playing V&V since my youthful days of high school in 1983.  My friends and I played ourselves as characters in high school, and the campaign was set in our home town.  It was amazing how many supervillain attacks and galaxy-shaking events occurred in that quiet town!

'Masked Marvel' was my alter ego in the game. His main power was Transmutation (I thought Firestorm was cool at the time). He liked to do things like turn the bad guy's armor and weapons into cherry Jello. He also tried to turn a villain's costume into white phosphorus, but was overruled by my GM.  For some reason, he wouldn't let me turn oxygen into cyanide, either...

Anyway, glad to find a cool V&V board!

Hello and howdy!

I am new and looking to make some friends.

I have not played V&V in years (don't ask, I'm not telling)

Thought I'd post up and say some salutations. 

As a little side note, Avatar and I went to high school together and played V&V.  I run another popular super hero system every other friday that he plays in.  I won't be so callous as to mention it's name.  But you only need d6's to play it....

'Nuff for now!  Enjoy true Believers!!! Shocked


Hey, you gotta play what the GM runs.  Over the last few years, I've been in MSH, DC/MEGS, and even BESM (owch) superhero games.

Hey all!

I'm good friends with Marshal Strong, who recommended this site as a cool place to talk comics. I haven't played V&V since the early 80's, but I've been reading comics steadily since my uncle bought me Amazing Spider-Man #166 back in 1977...hence, my handle.

Originally from Long Island, NY but now living in Jacksonville, FL.

Hope to see you all around the boards!

Hey, John! Yes, I sure do remember you. Lots of good times back then before we all had to become responsible adults! It's cool that we still have our hobbies to keep us young at heart.

"Marshal Strong" told me this was a good place to rap about comics, movies, TV, and all that junk I love in addition to the V&V component. I've been participating for quite a while on "Blammo!", the Marvel Masterworks message boards, but I wasn't aware of your site until now.

Cool, glad to have you here.   Also glad you are still into comics. When are you coming back up to NY?



And the Pulp was our local comic book store.  Both  Marshal Strong and I ran the place at various points.

Not sure about when I'll be back to NY.

I was thinking about going up there for one of the big comic cons one of these years, since Marshal Strong comes down here every year to go to Orlando Megacon with me! We also have a pact that if Megadeth ever tours by themselves, I would come up to NY and we would go together.

The only family I have left on LI is my brother and his family in Huntington. Other than that, everyone in my family has bugged out.

Cool,  my wife and I go to comic con every year since we've been married, its kind of "our thing".    Let us know if you are coming down,  or is it up?


and by the way, that issue of Spiderman, with Stegron, I stole it from my cousin when he showed it to me when we were kids.  I still have it.

Woe was the kid back then that had a comic that I didn't have.  I told him about it years later and he didn't even remember.    Its all mine now  BOYIEEE!

Welcome to the boards, Stegron! I've always had a soft spot for the Stegron character but then again I'm a bit of a Dinosaur nut. Wink

Hi, my name's WreckingBall...and I'm an addict.

Glad I found my way here, I was cleaning off a bookshelf earlier tonight, found a copy of the 2E rules in like-new condition and hopped on the web to see what else was still around.

Lo and behold I find an enclave of like-minded supers!

Hi. I saw the Monkey House tag under the logo. Is it kosher to post about the classic modules B.M.H. (Before Monkey House).

I read about people getting chewed out for saying they wanted to get products that weren't published by Monkey House on some forums or having their posts deleted. I didn't want to get called a traitor or a snark. What are the rules here?

Basically John's rules are thus -- say what you want.  But be warned you may get some backlash from some people (mostly just people having little temper tantrums..LOL).  It's just the nature of the beast.  You won't be deleted or have your posts deleted either. 

His biggest thing is we are all adults (well the high majority here are) and unless you use personal information to insult a person, everything is fine.  Smiley

Enjoy the board Ultra Malcolm!

If you get a minute, would you mind sharing some of your V&V gaming experiences with us, as I'm sure everyone would enjoy hearing about them.

I played a few games back in the 80's.

Coming from a dull Northern UK industrial town, it didn't seem fitting to set superhero games there, so we didn't play 'ourselves'. But I always loved creating characters for the game, as I did and still do for so many supers-themed RPG's before and since (DC Heroes/MEGS, Champions/Hero, Golden Heroes/Squadron UK, Heroes Unlimited, MSH, DC Universe, Mutants and Masterminds etc). More recently that experience has been suplemented by tabletop miniatures gaming with a supers theme (Supersystem, and latterly Pulp City; I also did a WHFB 2nd edition supers game or two waaaayyyy back when...).

Cut to today, and I have been working on a supers-themed RPG sourcebook for about a two years (not so much in the past year) to accompany some stories I have been working on, but grew frustrated with the system I had been intending to use. Mulling over this difficulty for many months, I then see then that MHG have V&V 2.1 out, and well, let's just say that some cogs started turning...

Personally, I'd love to see some sort of UK based source book, for V&V. I've given serious thought to putting something together myself, but held off on the idea once I realized just how little I actually know about the UK. Plus I always think it's better when people from the country in question try to put something together. Either way, I'm sure everyone here would be interested in seeing what you've got in mind.

I played back in the day..82-84 and then got swept away to college and then to different games, but kept my VnV stuff with me.  When I heard the new rules had come out I bought them right away BUT ended up needing surgery and that brought me to the end of summer and well...time got away.

I sponsor the gaming club at the high school where I work and the kids have begged me for a supers game!  Cha-ching!!  We started putting together backgrounds and histories for characters, I thought it best not to have them play themselves.  It took us two sessions, 90 minutes each to generate the six characters...

Victrix
Waraxe
Shockwave
Impact
Psion
Tempest

I am going to use a city of my own design and use Intercrime as the intro to the game.

Other than that, I guess I should just say Hello!
  

I thought you were the Moon and I was your Wolverine. Turns out you're the Trickster, and I'm just the fool who got played.

First off, welcome. Good to hear you've recovered from your surgery, and that you back on your feet. I think it's great that you're introducing your students to gaming, and I'm sure they'll get a kick out of V&V. I also think it'd be great if you invite them over here, as I'm of the opinion, the more, the merrier. And if you're  looking for some promo fliers to promote the game, you can download them from here - http://f1.grp.yahoofs.com/v1/YJpdTeUZqlh71hLEJIZGU-CYvH8bs3_IojpzqNTS4WedZyAk2CL...

I am hesitant to invite students to "join" groups...though I do point out that the web is a great place for them to "research" the games we play, and I know that there are sites out there that they can find to help them with backgrounds and other rule information.

I don't think it's an issue here of course but I have to be careful for a variety of reasons!

They have never played a Supers game before and your not going to believe this but there are four girls and two guys in the club this year!!  We have had three and three but never been a majority in favor of the young women.

Well instead of inviting them, you could just provide a list of sites catering to V&V players, and list it, that way if they want to swing by, and check us out they can.

Welcome,

And when I was a teacher, I used to have a V&V group with them as well.

I think that I will, I've been looking for something simple that I can use with the high school kids and with my own kids and their friends!

That's one of the fun things about V&V, you can make it as simple, or as complicated as simple as you like. While I'm thinking about it, any chance your players would be willing to allow you to post their character write-ups?

I'll ask them, as long as you don't know who they are, it shouldn't be an issue...is there any order you want or just post as I have time?

They can remain anonymous, and don't worry about posting in any particular order, as it really shouldn't matter.

Hello,

Just realized I was supposed to post here first.

I am pretty sure that I was here at the old forums and used to get into political debates with John(Not doing that at gaming forums anymore...even in "off topic" sub-forums). No idea what my handle was.

I have not played V&V in a LONG time but I still buy and collect the RPG stuff and still maintain an interest in game design/mechanics and I am still a comic book reader and collector.

I only play computer RPGs now days. I just cannot invest the time, prep-work, etc. and finding a group of RPGers who are also into comic book superheroes and also into V&V(as opposed to Champions, Mutants & Masterminds, etc.) is damned near impossible anyway. I am still a big fan of Jeff Dee, role playing game designs and so forth so I still buy and collect V&V(and Living Legends) stuff. Just got my print version of the newest V&V 2.1 yesterday(and I had previously bought the PDF version through Drive Thru RPG).

As for other RPGs...same story. Cannot invest the time and effort, plus most gamers are into terribly designed RPGs around here it seems(D&D, Warhammer FRP, the original Marvel Superheroes).

Hello all,

I was the last minute addtion to the Bill's Gary Con game.  I signed up here in the hopes that someone can tell me how it concluded.  Yes, I arrived late and left early.  Not my plan, but thats how it goes sometimes.

Back in the day (mid to late 80's) I both ran and played V&V.  We had a small group of four or five players at any given time.  There were lots of memorable adventures, heros and villians.  Somewhere in my archives they may still exist.

In more recent history, at Gary Con 2 (last year) I ran a very abreviated V&V game Sunday morning for the guys with whom I had traveled to the con (we had agreed earlier that each of us would bring something to run for the times we might otherwise not be able find our way into another game).  Anyways, I was suprised at how many people came by and wanted in on the game. I thought V&V was pretty much dead and buried. But the interest people showed made me think that perhaps I'd try running a V&V event at Gary Con 3. 

When time came to start seriously consider it, I checked the Gary Con site and found that none other than Bill Willingham would be running a campaign for the entire weekend.  And not only that, but Jeff Dee and Jack Herman were going to be there too. I quickly decided I wasn't about to compete for attention with them. Plus, I wanted in on that game! 

Unfortunately (for me) as I read further I found that it would be an invitiation only event, and everything else I read in the Gary Con forums indicated that there was a mad scramble on to get an invite.  So I resigned myself to the notion that I wouldn't get to play, and instead looked forward to hovering over the game between whatever other (lesser) events for which I could sign up. Keep in mind, at this point I had no idea that 2.1 had come out last year, that 3.0 is in the works, or that either the MHG website or this one even existed.

Next, its Friday morning at Gary Con 3.  I wander into the gaming floor a little early and manage to catch Bill while he is setting up. I introduced myself and we chatted briefly. He had a lot of work ahead of him, so I tried not to distract him for too long.  I wandered off to see who else was setting up and to see who I could spot from last year that I could remember.

I did eventually make it back around to the V&V table, at which point the game was underway, and they were in the midst of the first pitched battle, a classic hero vs. hero fight with the bad guys hiding in plain sight agitating. It was somewhere along here I guess that I was just nosy enough without being obnoxious to get invited to join.  It seems one of the invitees (I've since learned it was Justice) had to cancel at the last minute, leaving the Untouchables with an open slot.  Naturally, I agreed to join, but I waited until the conclusion of the current battle.

I won't go into details about the rest of the campaign, because several others are doing such an excellent job in posts on other threads. Plus, there is the fact that I ended up having to bail early to catch my flight back to Orlando.  I think next year I'll plan on flying out Monday instead.

Anyways, the campaign was every shade of awesome imaginable. Getting to play in Bill's campaign with Jeff and Jack (and the rest of you too), was quite inspiring. I'm still thinking I'd like to run a V&V event at Gary Con 4, but Bill has placed the bar awfully high.  I suppose though, if a few others would also run V&V events, I could blend one in quite easily. Bill did say he would like a chance to play next year, and I for one feel the need to make sure that happens.

Hey, newly registered, fan of all kinds of RPGs, especially superhero ones. In fact, 1st edition V&V was one of my first RPGs, for Christmas year after I was introduced to D&D.

Welcome! I too got a copy of 1st edition V&V about a year after I started playing D&D.

Hey there, Haywire!  I somehow missed this post earlier.  It was awesome playing with you and getting to know you, and hopefully I'll see you again (maybe at next year's Gary Con).  It would be awesome if you'd stick around (at both this site and at the MHG forums).   Smiley

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!

Welcome aboard. I think it's great that we've got all these new members registering, and that many of them are starting to introduce their kids to playing RPGs.

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.

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.

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.

Just wanted to put out a welcome thread here.

Feel free to introduce yourself.  Say a few words about yourself... what kind of gaming you like.  If it's just V&V.  Or whatever you feel like saying.

For the best way to get a good board going is to "talk."

So welcome and have fun! Smiley


I'm new to V&V, but not roleplaying or superheroes.  I'm just about to start a new campaign (Pulp Citizen's) and am playing Swarm - a superheroine who can transform her body into a dense cloud of flying, stinging, biting insects.

There's even a Facebook page for her that you can 'Like' and follow her adventures as I update her status during the campaign.

Enjoy!

I dig superhero gaming (and other gaming, of course... i used to run a 18 player battletech campaign) and have run Champions and TSR's Marvel Super Heroes extensively in addition to V&V. I dont game as much now because my 3 stepkids are very girly girls.

they do occasionally make up superheroes for me like "Missile Man" whose arm is a huge missile launcher- he has a utility belt full of stuff that should be awkward to use 1handed. also, "Moon" whose power is "can turn into the moon". Im not sure how...

Bah, excuses excuses, Bill!    Wink

My oldest daughter is very 'girly' and she's played V&V with me before, though admittedly she likely wouldn't anymore (she's too busy with work, the lead in a drama production, etc.).  My youngest daughter is becoming more girly, but she still games (in fact she is making her own RPG right now, some of it drawn from V&V, about this series of dragon books she loves).

In all seriousness, I think the key with females is (often) to put more emphasis on exploring relationships, story, and role-playing.  Us guys?  We just want to hit stuff and blow it up!    Cheesy

im all for that of course, but my son is 2 and my stepdaughters are 5, 9, and almost 11. so theyll be more likely to get into v&v in a few years. im thinking about getting Miranda into it and mikayla when she explains what "becoming the moon" entails lol

Hi; another longtime V&V fan here. I met John at Gary Con IV last week, and he encouraged me to sign up here (again? My old login info may have gotten deleted).

I was one of the lucky few that got to play in Bill Willingham's mini V&V campaign last year at Gary Con III w/ Jack, Jeff, Majestic, DSumner, & Dracos/Ranger, among others.

I go by Keyes (my middle name) at the MHG forums, or you can call me Rick, too.

Welcome, Rick!

Was great to see (and play V&V) with you again this year.

For those who aren't aware, you can view this year's Gary Con action (including shots of Southpaw, played by Keyes) at the Monkey House Games Forum.

Strange how you can delete yourself and come back with the same info and Profile name, yet all the old posts and your old profile are still up.  And the welcome message shows John as an exmember and the message won't leave my box!!

Ummm... just thought I'd let you and Paul know John.

LOL... okay... I deleted my account... please don't ask why.  But I did.  Then I decided when I got home, to sign back up.  I was still allowed to use Sylver Nightwind, but needed to create another User ID or whatever it was.  So I did. 

So I sign in and you can see both of my profiles... the old Sylver and the new Sylver.  So, of course I had no profile pic, so I uploaded my flying witch... and it changed not only the new Sylver, but the old.  Yet only the NEW Sylver shows me online. 

Get it?  LOL.  It's just strangeness is all.

Oh and when you sign in for the first time you get an auto message stating welcome from John.  But beside his name it said he was an ex-member which of course he is not.  I'd show you but I deleted the message.  Oh but it did leave the whole "1 New Message" section. 

Maybe it's just my multi-personalities or something but I just thought it strange that I can use the same user name, but can't see my old posts, yet when changing the profile ICON pic, it changed both of my "incarnations."

DO DO DO DOOOOOOOOO!!  It's a story for... The Twilight Zone!!

Ok got ya. I think the transition of servers caused some issues for people. Like the problem Majestic was having etc.

I can try to play with the member settings but to be honest I really dont want to touch things like that as it could cause a major meltdown.

I'll see if there are any "safer" options though since it's impacting a few people (well two to be exact Smiley )

OH Paul!  Is there any way to just bring back my old Sylver Nightwind?  Or is it more like when a person deletes themselves whether by accident or not, that is it? 

I asked John, but he says he doesn't know if you can bring back a person once they delete themselves.

I believe, Sylver, that in order to respawn properly you will need to find a hero with Revivication powers (ask John if that V&V geek-speak doesn't make sense).   Wink

Sylver I checked the member list and it only shows one active Sylver (the new one). It seems when members are deleted they are truly gone.

However, I can try to rebuild the member history (there is an option for that) but I cannot guarantee it will work and it might wreak havoc on the site.

Let me know.

OH and Majestic is correct, I don't have revivication powers. Well not today anyways.   Roll Eyes

It's okay Paul.  Truly not a big deal.  I was just curious is all.

Welcome, Heston!  Smiley

The Yahoo groups ebb and flow, but are generally relatively quiet.  You'll find a lot more activity here, over at the MHG (Monkey House Games) forum, and on the V&V Facebook page.

Glad to have you here!  Cool

Yeah, the Yahoo group/s were dead, and the Monkey House page looked effectively non-responsive ... at least as far as V&V is concerned.

Hello,

Thought I would drop by here at the official welcome thread and say Hi.  I joined a little while ago and have been kinda looking around and taking it all in. 

I'm the guy that's drawing the stuff that Ypsilanti Jackson writes.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys.  I have a website at yadartworks.com though the gallery just links to my deviant art account since I find that easier than building a second gallery.

Can't believe I just found this forum! Big V&V fan from WAY back in the day. It's awesome to see so many folks still keeping it alive. Some games should live forever, and this is certainly one of them.

My name's Cary by the way. I know a few members here, and I make comics when I'm not riding my bike. Sometimes even when I'm riding the bike, but I don't really recommend that.

Cary, what's up man. If I'd known you were a V&V fan, I'd have told you about this place many moons ago. For those of you who don't know it, Cary is the writer of both Dynagirl and Fallen Justice, and one hell of a guy. While I was deployed in 07-08, he was kind enough to ship, at his own expense, a box of comics to me and my guys. That was AWESOME and a real moral booster for my guys, as we had a LOT of comic fans in my platoon. If you haven't checked out his stuff, you should, as I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at what Redhanded is putting out. The Fallen Justice TPB is a bargin, and Dynagirl is definitely a fun read. 

Either way, welcome to the site, and keep us updated on what you've got going on.

Thanks for the warm welcome folks!

And Dom, it was my sincere pleasure sir. I know all too well what it's like being in a war, and the whole experience was made far better by some packages and cards containing all sorts of cool stuff sent by the folks back home, many of which didn't even know anyone on the crew. To get the chance to do something to pay that forward, even just a little bit, was a wonderful experience for me, and it's made all the better knowing you and your guys enjoyed the books.

I can update your status. Not really sure what happened with the old account. Did dsummer tell you I changed the password on it so you didn't have to use the verification system?

Ok I updated your post count and registration date.  I also changed the email on the old Thunderbolt account to your gmail email account (the one you use for google talk). Try to log in again on Thunderbolt and check the gmail email for the validation.  Not really sure what the heck happened.

Also before you try all that, clean our your cache and temporary files.  And don't use Firefox.

Ok, I looked in my G-mail account there is no e-mail form V & V to reset password...still looking for it.

Though I did do something...risky...  I changed this account's e-mail address to my old old e-mail address on my thunderbolt account.  It gave me a... odd error.

Something like ...

Alert:  Spoof Detected... from IP Address {numbers}.

I can't see that error anymore... it made me change my password again.... but I got back in.

On the thunderbolt account try to log in and if you cant, hit the "forgot password" thing. It should THEN email your gmail account directions on how to get back in.

I also hope you can get your name switched back to Thunderbolt (singular) at some point, if possible.

Yeah... me too.  Did what Paul suggested but I still have not received that verification e-mail in my g-mail account.  Not really sure what to do.

That is honestly the strangest thing. I can reset the password myself and you can try to log into Thunderbolt (singular) with the new password, which means don't hit the validation thing.  For some reason it still wants you to validate, just leave it and I'll see the validation flag pop up at some point today and I'll manually validate.

If all else fails, I can delete Thunderbolt singular and change your current plural name back to singular.

I'll PM plural with the new password.

Yeah now I got in.

This IS weird.  I'd like to have the chance now.. to go to the plueral account and copy and delete a couple of posts and repeat them here so I can edit them later if needed.

Cumbersome I know... but useful.  I can do the foot work.. and could send you a pm to delete the plural ...unless you think it best to keep it.

I'd really like to have this account to have my primary e-mail address back though...

Do what you can... I've replied to your PM with the details.

Ok I believe all set. You can keep the plural acct and I changed it's email to the gmail.

Changed the singular account back to the original yahoo.

You are on your own copying the posts though!  Wink

I should say "hello!"  So, hello!

V&V was my game of choice back in the 80s.  I eventually moved on to other systems and games, but was excited to rediscover V&V and find such an active community.

Looking forward to reading more of what all of you are up to!

Hello, robbneu!  I'm pretty new here, too, but, yeah this is a very active and motivated community.  At least a few of the folks here are actually producing new V&V material on a regular basis as well.

Welcome, robbneu!

There's been a LOT of material released in the past two years for V&V!  FGU even has free stuff on their website:
http://www.fantasygamesunlimited.net/page7.html

If you haven't seen the magazine articles about V&V yet, you can find them here:

Thanks, maxwellchris and Display Name!  I appreciate the welcome!

Yes, I was a little stunned when I saw all the new material for V&V.  I have since spent a little more than I probably should have, picking up PDFs and a couple of Giants from FGU.  Good stuff!  It's shockingly fun to be back!

I didn't know about the magazine articles, so I'll likely spend some time digging around in there, too!  Thanks!

Hi all!  I am a new member and just wanted to introduce myself.  My name is Nick and I have played RPGs since 1982.  I don't get to play much anymore, but still try to keep up on the hobby.  I was happy to see this forum and wanted to join it ASAP.  I have a physical copy of Bushido and digital copies of several other FGu classics.

It's ironic that I found this forum, as I was putting together a FGU basic game mechanics sheet.  I am doing this because I was wondering if there were any game mechanics that are the same between the different games that FGU published.

Hi, Nick!  Welcome to the board!

There's some more V&V goodness here:
http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/vnvrpg/files/

And FGU has some free samples on their website, too!

Which V&V adventures did you like best?

Welcome to the site Nick, it's good to see so many of us old times still keeping the flame alive. And if no ones pointed it out, FGU now has its own forums with sections dedicated to V&V, Bushido, Daredevils, Aftermath, and Space Opera. It's just getting up and running, so there's not much discussion, yet, but if you get a chance, you might want to take a look. Here's the link - http://www.fantasygamesunlimited.net/phpbb/

As others have said, welcome aboard.

I'm not aware of any carryover mechanics between the different FGU games.  My first suggestion would be to look at games by the same author (or with shared authors) and see if any of those have shared mechanics.

Hyuck!  I didn't even see that part!

The only difference in rules mechanics would be the first edition and revised edition.  Everything published by FGU is in revised edition.

I was told recently by Mr. Bizar that Daredevils, Aftermath and Space Opera are similar; in fact the way he indicated it to me is that the engines are basically the same and that if you played Daredevils until familiar, and then Aftermath until comfortable , and then Space Opera, you would see a progression in complexity.
I'm not sure how Bushido figures in, but we also talked about how the guys over at Hero Games back in the day used some of the Bushido mechanics to develop the Champions RPG...

Hi everybody,

New to the V&V world. Love it. Don't know the old version but have seen a lot of powers from that era. Playing the 2.1 with a couple of friends and we having a good old time. Looking for anything to help improve the game or different powers that are out there. Enjoy people

Hi everyone in V&V Land! Just dug out my boxed sets of V&V 2nd edition, Champions 2nd edition, and Superworld. V&V seems to be the easiest to comprehend these days so I am looking to get back into it as I enjoy super hero role-playing and Bronze Age comics. The newer super hero RPGs are impossible for me to wade through given their hundreds of pages and my limited time...I like how the older games give you the rough basics and you make it your own from there. Feels like there's more personality.

Hoping to get useful information on here and possibly locate some other players and DMs in my area so I can get active in V&V! Or, if no one is around me, are there any online games?

Thanks!

I found the FGU site first and downloaded some freebies. The forum their doesn't seem to have much going on. I'll have to see those magazine articles. All I have is a couple old Different Worlds with write-ups for Teen Titans and X-Men for V&V, Champions, and Superworld.

Matt,

Normally, yes.  If you send me a private email I can send them one at a time if you like.  That will take a considerable amount of time, though.

Can you scan and send me the X-Men article you have?  I've heard of it, but have never seen evidence that it really exists.

Nice to be here, thank you! I'm really hoping the "OSR" helps bring V&V back into vogue. More than that, I hope it helps me find some folks to play V&V with. So far all the OSR folks I have met just want to play D&D, but my fingers are crossed. I prefer the super hero genre.

I apologize, I misremembered. I am looking at Different Worlds # 23 right now and it doesn't have V&V write-ups for the X-Men, just Champions and Superworld. The V&V article is just Jeff Dee writing about changes made between 1st and 2nd editions of the game. Do you want that? Or the Champions and Superworld stuff? Dang, I really thought there were V&V X-Men in there. I guess I confused it with issue 30, which has write-ups for the New Teen Titans for all 3 game systems. Do youwant the V&V New Teen Titans article?

There are quite few board members in NYC, and John, the guy who runs this board, hosts a regular group.

My buddy in high school mocked up just about all of the X-Men back in the early 80's (he's the one who introduced me to them).

In the meantime, you can find a bunch of the X-Men statted up for V&V on this thread.

Hey. I'm new to this forum so I'm dropping a line here like the moderator said to do. V&V is a new game for me but I liked how the system works so I hope to get a game going once I have a feel for the rules. If anyone in the East TN. Area has one already going please let me know. I'm eager to get started.

Hey!  Majestic had the same problem.  I never figured out what caused it, specifically...  Sad

It has happened to me on occasion, but if I refresh the screen and re-load it works.  I'm not sure if that worked for Majestic...?

I don't honestly recall if that worked or not, to be honest.  IIRC it did.

Just happened to stumble across this board while doing some searches for V&V-related stuff and thought I might join.

I've been a gamer and amateur game designer since the early eighties and it always seems I'm working on some kind of campaign in my spare time.  Recently, I dug out my old V&V rulebook and an idea I had several years ago came back to me.

I'm now in the midst of writing the background for a V&V campaign/story series based on John Byrne's short-lived Danger Unlimited comic.  I loved the premise and thought there was so much potential there that just went unrealized.

Anyhoo, just fgured I'd say hello and formally introduce myself.  Looking forward to checking out others' house rules and such on the boards.

Thanks, dsumner and Majestic.

I was wondering, what's the protocol for posting on the other threads?  I know it changes from board to board.

Also, is there any V&V fanfic here, or elsewhere?  I've done a few searches, but haven't found much.

Hey Dave! Or should I call you doc?

The protocol here is pretty minimal.  I  believe in a low hands on approach to administration.  Just have fun.


Paul does a lot of V&V fan fic, but it involves himself in a leather costume and Batman.   You really don't want to read it.

Call me Dave, Doc, DD, whatever.  Just don't call me late for dinner *rimshot*

I'll have to watch out for Paul, then.   Shocked

One of my plans with my Danger Unlimited idea is to write a series of stories based in the setting.  I used to write stories for a superfic website called Titans of Tomorrow, and plan to bring back the character I had used for that site.

In the meantime, I'll keep working on the rules errata I've got going for DU, and maybe post some of the ideas in the appropriate part of the forum.

Ha ha, I'm not surprised.  Although, at over 40, I'm not sure if I would qualify as "younger."

Years ago, I had almost the full series of The Shadow (the original radio recordings) on casette.  They were interesting to listen to, to say the least.  Wish I still had them.

Just stumbled across this game for the first time a couple months ago, and have been excited to get started. Haven't been able to play yet, but have thrown a few heroes together and I can't wait t get started.

Well, I assume I should say hello.
I've played this thing three decades, and despite trying newer systems feel this one best captures what I like about the genre. It will be nice to hear what others do with it, and perhaps plagiarize borrow some of their ideas.

I have been gaming since 1978, and Picked up V&V in 1983. It was definitely "love at first sight" for a supers rpg. I have tried other games (too many to mention), and probably own 99.999% of the other supers games out there. But I always come back to V&V.

I am a Middle School teacher (sponsor a gaming club), a Pastor, and a comics/gaming fanatic.

I look forward to sharing thoughts and ideas with you all!

Welcome, Fred!  Any relation to Jack?

You might start with the freebies that Fantasy Games Unlimited (FGU) is offering, as well as the new products that have been released for V&V:
http://www.fantasygamesunlimited.net/

And nearly all of the (known) magazine articles related to V&V have been collected here:

Hi there, everyone! 

  First, Thank you John, for your assistance with my registration problems!  I appreciate your help very much, Sir.

  Second, I'm totally new to V&V.  Not to roleplaying in general, as I started gaming over 20 years ago (with a large, over a decade break in between)... But I've yet to actually receive my V&V rulebook from FGU!

  Yep, I've just ordered it... Along with the V&V 'Giant #5' to give it a go.  I'm pretty excited about getting the books  Cool

  Can't wait to give this game a go!  Looking forward to chatting with you all about it as I learn how to play it!

  Nice to meetcha all,

Tim

Hello all, new to the site. Hoping to play some VnV online with some new people. I'm currently playing it by email, and a GM by forum. I just got into it this year so I'm still rusty on some rules.

I'm curious if there is going to be a new online VnV game I can join; I see that the last one was posted in June/August, so I don't know if that one's still going on or not.

Welcome to the site, MegaSilver!  I really like your avatar, btw!

I'm not sure if there are any active online games right now.  I think one poster named Cougar usually has one going (his Megalopolis campaign); hopefully he'll jump on here if that's the case.

Thanks! My avatar is Venoc Warlord from Heroscape, my favorite game. I'm a moderator on Heroscapers.com, as well.

Thanks for the info. I hope to join in a game whenever one starts up.

And here's a shot from a couple of years ago, when my son ran a V&V session at a con (with about 10 players), where the dimension the heroes adventured/fought in was represented by a Heroscape map he put together (V&V counters on Heroscape tiles).

That's awesome. You know you can play online now? You can PM me for details, or get more information about here: http://www.heroscapers.com/community/showthread.php?t=50595

It's a great way to play with people you haven't met before, or if you don't have anyone around to play against. I'm a Moderator for one of the online events.

Hallo.

I'm Erik. Haven't played a lot of V&V, but I do enjoy the rules and such... Mostly got on here to find out the answers to certain questions - as well as learn some house rules to try to talk my GM into.

Anyways, yeah. . . that's my lame introduction.

I'm back... Sorta.

Friend of mine got me renewed ala interest in this game.

Got a better job... So I can finally get those 3 missing mods (non-fgu) and I then have them all.

Anyhow... Hi again. Posted some relatively newer art. Go look if your inclined.

Also posted a map of my Metro City, New Jersey.

About...27 years ago I was introduced properly into the world of table top rpg. At first it was exclusively TSR D&D, then I discovered marvel superhero rpg. It was fun for what it was, but didn't have a good feel. Left and right new games were thrown at me. Star Trek (zzzzz) palladium's robotech, (later TMNT) DC rpg, cyberpunk, Star Wars and others.
None of them had an original feel like V&V.
My first superhero I played was in G7s game. I rolled up a teenage fire using hero. I insisted on him wearing a cape. Because I thought in the eyes of society, Heroes wore capes.
It didn't matter if he had a streak of fire behind him as he flew though the air. Besides, the heat he gave off would make the cape flap even if there was no wind.
Moving on .

My favorite games to play quickly reduced down to AD&D and V&V. Other systems seemed too rules heavy or complicated at first glance (insert champions or ICE here )

As years passed and ages increased, I never stopped playing RPGs entirely. Even with a family at home and being on the road for work, I end up (mostly as a GM) playing every so often. And last week, when I was ready to complete my Pathdinder campaign arc, my players mutinyed and forgot the pathfinder character sheets and brought the V&V stuff.

So I ended up helping 2 new players create their first super heroes, just like I did all those years ago.

I decided , due to many past complaints about low hit points being common, and some heroes being "one hit wonders" ( one hit and they get KOed) I would have their starting base line be 8 instead of zero for stats. So 3d6 +8 for stats.
It worked. Nobody has pushover hit points in this game...no where do I find stats for the ultimate nullifier?

Anyhow, that's my intro. Sorry for posting elsewhere first. I'm the sort that just tries to make Optimus prime transform before reading the directions.

Hey,

Don't worry about not posting here first.  I had that rule a few years ago when bots were joining left and right and posting spam.  Since then Paulie did something technical that I don't understand and the problem is gone.

So I should update this thread to show that....

Welcome, Detective27!  Your story is great, and reminds me of some reminiscing I was doing myself earlier today (thinking back on those early RPG days).

Hey D27...

Boy is that the short version.
Ever wonder how many hours we rpg'd?

I remember full weekends 6-8 he's on a Friday, usually 10-12 on a Saturday with a few breaks and then about 8 more on Sunday...

Did we ever watch TV?

I remember we spent a weekend watching the entire Robotech saga... I wanted to drown Minmay better than halfway through it.

Then there was my 13 yr Greyhawk campaign... How sad, All my meticulous notes, drawings and all my multiple 1st ed books/every 1st ed mods and suppluments are now gone from a basement flood.
Man that still upsets me. I could have wrote a book from those notes alone. Oh well. At least all my V&V stuff was upstairs.

...and all my notes!

Well I was naked while doing it, so kinda embarrassing I guess.  Actually it was really bad because now that I remember, it wasn't even my computer, it was my neighbors.

Come to think of it, my first Greyhawk character I played was actually an npc I took over. I had high ambitions and asked to play a drow elf...luckily there was one available.
My first rolled up Greyhawk character was a human thief...yes thief. They didn't call them rogues back then.

D27,

Hell, I remember the good old days when Oni and I would play  V&V all night long...

Or in college when  Paulie and a few others would play 13 hours long,  sleep, eat, and then play another 13 hours.


Granted, Paulie was really into the cosplay aspect of the game.  I just wish he wouldn't play the Naked Avenger so often.   He often got confused with the villain BigFoot from the Six Million Dollar Man.

I've already started my initial posting blitz, but I'll put something here, too Smiley  I'm a long-time gamer, first ventures in 1981 with AD&D (a cleric), then in earnest in 1983.  Dabbled in just about every game and genre of the period.  I dislike Crawl of Cthulu (my avatar is very ironic) and most examples of horror genre.

My 80's-vintage V&V rulebook (2.0?) came unbound, so I hole-punched it and put in in a three-ring binder.  Still refer to it (and gotta find it now!).  Been meaning to get a new book, but haven't had a real impetus to (no games!).  Haven't played in ages, but every superhero webcomic I read, I start writing up the characters in my head in V&V terms.  How did I not find this forum sooner?!

Welcome!

I know how it goes not playing.
Every time I hear discussions about play it makes me yearn to do so again.

...and D27 has invited me to join some sessions in his games when I make it up north...
More afraid that if I do... I'll get the fever again... 3 hours is a long time to drive for a game. Even one as amazing as this one.

Doesn't matter that you didn't find this forum sooner.. Just matters that you found it.

...and D27 too! Though I should have told him about it...thought I did. Oh well.

Welcome guys.

I drive 168 hours so I can game once a month! I think it would be worth it.
I know the feeling of not playing for sure. The road is not friendly to habitual tabletop rpg players

Welcome, CoriolisSmiley

Say, did you ever play "The Coriolis Effect" back in the day?  I picked up that Champions adventure years ago, but have never done anything with it.

OK, so I missed the line about posting here first and this is my second.  Mea Culpa.

I've been playing RPGs since the early 80's and then Life Happened in the mid-90's. I just caught up with some friends and we decided to start up with, of course, V&V.

So now I am dusting my dice off and starting from scratch. Glad to have resources like this, which we could only dream of back then.

Looking forward to some good ideas and information!

Hello, new member introducing himself.

My real name is Christian.  I have been playing V&V since 1982 (so I got started on 2nd edition).  It was the first non-TSR RPG I played, and eventually evolved into my all-time favorite RPG. I played regularly from middle school through high school, tapered off a bit but still kept playing through my mid-20s, then couldn't find any players, then moved to a small rural town and really couldn't find any players.  So, for at least the last ten years, my playing has been limited to online gaming (PBEM & PbP), and not even much of that.  I've been largely reduced to incessant rules tinkering to satisfy my gaming fix.

I used to post on John's old forum, but never made the switch to the new forum (not sure why) until now.

Hey hey hey, new member incoming!

The name's Lolu, 16 years of age. I was recently introduced to tabletop RPGs via the Fantasy Flight Star Wars trio, and have been GMing those games for about a year. I've also recently grown a love for golden age DC comics, and found out about V&V while looking up various superhero RPGs. I've yet to actually find time to play any V&V adventures, but my friends and I have had a lot of fun designing characters and adventures. I'm eager to see what the seasoned veterans on this forum have to offer!  Cheesy

Welcome to the site, Lolu!  It's great to have one of the younger generation here!

My kids (and their friends) have played V&V for years (my youngest is almost 16) and they've had tons of fun generating random characters many, many times.

Don't hesitate to ask any questions that you might have!

Hey guys, I'm Wolf Girl! I love Tolkien, Marvel, Harry Potter, Supernatural, and anime. I also really love to read, draw, and play video games Smiley I've always been a fan of roleplaying, mostly on social media and such. Hopefully I'll have some new experiences with V&V!

She's not played at all in that campaign.  I started up a brief game (we played probably 4-5 times), replaying some of the Classics (Crisis, Death Duel, etc.).

Hello All!
I was searching the web for V&V stuff and ended up here and joined up. I got V&V back when I was a teenager along with Daredevils from FGU. I still remember reading the rulebook in the car as my mother drove home.
I have been a long time gamer and work in the gaming industry. I am looking forward to seeing V&V 3.0 and the new things that can be done for the universe. I often GM games or make my own games up and have played everything from AD&D to hard core miniatures games. I think V&V has a great mix of roleplaying and tabletop gaming and would really enjoy reading about your games and getting feedback about my own ideas. Thanks for hosting this site.

Just thought I'd say hi. I've been lurking here for a while, and finally decided to register (although it took me a while; I may need my eyes checked as it took me about a dozen tries to get the validation code correct!).

I started with rpg's back in grammar school with the old B/X boxed set of D&D and have played D&D, AD&D, Bushido, Space Opera, MSH, DC, Star Frontiers, Gamma World, Stormbringer, Champions, MERP, and, of course, V&V (which is one of my favorites and definitely my favorite super hero rpg). The last several years I haven't done much in the way of gaming at all, unfortunately.

I also take credit/responsibility for introducing Ironnerd to V&V. At least, that's how I remember it through the mists of history. Pretty sure it was me or maybe one of the other people I introduced it to showed it to him shortly thereafter. Hmmm. Did a fair bit of playing V&V together back in middle/high school, too. He was the one who originally suggested I check this site out.

"Shadowdragon" was the name of one of my very early characters. He was a martial artist who also had darkness control.

Looking forward to making some posts and chatting with people.

Sorry about that. just about everyone complains about it, but unfortunately even if I turn down the complexity of the CAPTCHA by one, a bunch of spammers and bots create accounts and it's a nightmare for me to manage.

Maybe I'll give it another shot though. I feel bad people are having trouble registering.

Hi everyone, my name is Matt(eo, in Italian, yes i'm a spaghetti-eater) i roleplay since i was ten, even though it was more role than play because my master didn't know the rules, and so didn't i until i bought the rulebooks Tongue

I started with D&D, then i approached Sine Requie, then Star Wars Saga Edition and Pathfinder, then Vampires Masquerade but frankly i hated it.

After a recreational black hole in my roleplaying life i decided to collect some courage and start again as a master (after 10 years spent only playing) and decided to start with the two fields i'm most confident with: Star Wars and Superheroes, it's just a few days i aknowledged V&V's existence (here in Italy this game is basically unknown, and i never found it in the superhero rpgs lists that i searched through time).

What can i say, i completely DIG this system, it has pretty solid mechanics, but leaves a lot of space for liberty and creativity even in the fights, it really incarnates every aspect of the genre, what i love most of all is the random aspect of superpowers selection, and the creativity it requires in the end to make them work at best (and giving them a sense with the character's background and the nature of the power), as if creating from zero to super-hero wasn't cool enough.


Outside of the game i obviously love the superhero genre, and i dream of publishing my personal S-H Universe one day, if i will be allowed to find a comic illustrator, of course...

For everything else... Just ask! This post is already long enough @___@

Italy is way much worse, we're practically the civilized world's clowns, but enough of this, or i'll go OT

Razor_Fangs, welcome to the forum. I have to agree with you about V&V's game system, it's one of the best I've come across and definitely my favorite for super hero games.

Very cool that you're from Italy. My family is half Italian (on both my mother and father's sides!) and I'd love to get over there some day.

Hello! I'm Dave, started playing V&V as a break from AD&D way way back in the late 80's (Yeap I am that old). Took a long break from gaming and met back with my old gaming group and now running a V&V game (very sporadic) and found this site while looking for ideas. I am glad folks still play this game. Thank you to the host for having the site and hope for some good chats and great ideas! Thank you.
