When Marvel:TRA comes out, Would you play Marvel-Only?

The Silver Surfer · #1 March 17th, 2008, 08:23 PM

Hey everyone,
Sorry if this is in the wrong section or if someone else did this already, but I couldn't find it anywhere else. But anyway, I'm just wondering how many people would be interested in playing Marvel-only games once The Renforcements Arrive set is released?
If not, why?

I know I would just because I'm a big...well, good-sized fan of Marvel (Go Spidey!!!! You da' man!), and I just think it would be really fun. In fact, MarvelScape got me into the addiction.

I really enjoy mixing the marvel and classic stuff. With only 10 characters, if you play alot of marvel only games it could get old quick. However once the reinforcements come out it should make marvel only games alot better. Although the punisher and bullseye could be great for crossover.
And Spidey as definately the man, I can't tell you how many times I have irritated my opponents like crazy while spider sense constantly kept him out of harms way. So much fun

I also enjoy mixing Marvel and Classic, I'd just also enjoy Marvel only once TRE comes out.

Although, I was referring to spider-man being the man in general, not necissarily in HS, although, he's pretty awsome in that, too

I know I can't wait for RA. Playing with the same 10 Supers every time is very boring. As soon as RA...arrives, I'll be playing a lot more Marvel, and not just mixed.

I think playing a Marvel-only game is barely possible now, and I don't think the game will have a really exciting variety until we've got at least 25-30 units out there. So maybe after Wave Two I'll play some more Marvel-only games. In order for that to be really viable though they need a nice variety of point ranges...perhaps some more units in the 100-200 range, and a few between Doom and Abomination.

Not to mention at least one more 5!

When the new guys get here, I expect to build a little urban map and play some Marvel-only, but my group will probably go back to all mixed games before very long. I'm really not satisfied any longer without having both to choose from. Marvel has the big honking ranged heroes that classic skimps on, and classic has the squads.

Very true...picking Doctor Doom right now is always going to leave you with an awkward point build in a Marvel-only game.

Last I heard on the ask WotC thread they were still questioning whether the Marvel expansion would even be released because it wasn't cost effective. If it does ever get to my hands I'll play with them but I'll still use normal 'scape stuff plenty.

I think I'd be more inclined to play Marvel-Only if there were Squads included. As it is now, it's all Heroes which is fun but too simplistic for my tastes - the squads add a lot of depth. Hopefully they decide to release Wave 1 and it sells well enough to allow for future sets which include Squads.

As you can probably tell by my av and name I have a little affection for a certain wall crawler outside of the game as well

I was/am one of the anti-Marvel people, but the more I hear about it (and as the days pass before wave

, and the cheaper it gets, the more likely I am becoming to break down and buy it. I like the characters, and if I do buy it, I'll be likely to play it by itself and in certain mixed scenarios- only ones that have a "Marvel-ish" feel. I don't like the Marvel characters infringing on the Heroscape world, but I wouldn't mind some cowboys/military/robots/zombies coming over to the Marvel world.
