Our guests, Emily Buza and Jay Edidin, who you know from their respective podcasts Whelmed: The Young Justice Files and Jay and Miles X-Plain the X-Men, are with us to talk character creation, what makes this game tick, and give some comic book recommendations that fit with our characters and the kind of deconstructed superhero narratives of Marvelous.

We are kicking off our second year with a phenomenal run, playing S. Donnelly and Hannah Rogers’ Marvelous, a Masks-inspired Belonging Outside Belonging game. This is a game about super teens, but not necessarily a super team. Our characters are two heroes finding their powers and their voice, a villain struggling to come into his own, and Brethyn.

We’re celebrating a year of podcasting with an annual episode (never not using comic book metaphors)! Hosts Fiona and Stephanie answer some listener questions, talk about what we’ve learned in a year of superhero RPGs, and talk about a few things we’re excited about for the next year.
Will we find the best superhero business RPG? Will Fiona be able to play as Squirrel Girl? Which of Stephanie’s characters does she most resemble? All these and more.

It is time for the modern classic, the best superhero TTRPG there is, darling of the podcast scene, Masks: A New Generation by Brendan Conway and published by Magpie Games.
We have been saving this game for some very special guests and we found them. James Malloy of Protean City and Indi Tan of Dice Comics came through for a phenomenal AP and insightful discussion.
Join a Janus, a Transformed, and an Outsider as the city championship for girls’ varsity basketball (our own New Arcadia North High School Iron Maidens vs. the Bishop Academy Sirens) is interrupted by adorable, violent creatures from the Outsider’s storybook home. What strange magic has brought them into this world, and why?

It’s one of our favorite writers! Playing an RPG with us! This run is Spectaculars by Rodney Thompson, and we’re joined by none other than Seanan McGuire, author of Middlegame, the Wayward Children and October Daye series of novels, and many others.
Our characters, crew of a space ship they accidentally stole, were about to leave Earth when said ship was in turn nearly stolen from them. Confronting the cybernetic cat thief, they find out about a distress call from the Facilitators — an intergalactic organization of knights errant — warning of an infested ship on a collision course with Earth.

It’s time to dissect A City of Shining Stars by Aaron Lim, with our guest from this run, Jeff Stormer. For our Origin Story segment, we took the opportunity to interview Jeff about how he prepped for this game with a lifetime of watching, reading, and studying superhero stories.
Back IssuesMarvels by Kurt Busiek and Alex Ross (1994). The influential, and optimistic, mini-series follows a non-powered photographer through his career in Silver Age Marvel New York, looking at super-people as they emerge and alter the city's history. (Not to be confused with The Marvels, a more recent comic about superheroes at war.)Astro City by Kurt Busiek and Brent Anderson: a creator-owned, unified, multi-generational superhero story, as much about the city as about the heroes, and especially: “That Was Then” (2022), Family Album trade paperback (1997), Through Open Doors trade paperback (2014); stories about Jack-in-the-Box, a friendly neighborhood superhero with real-life family problems, or the Silver Agent, an era-spanning, time-traveling, tragic do-gooder (some of these stories collected in Shining Stars, 2014); the individual older stories and issues “Ellie’s Friends,” “What I Did on My Vacation,” and “The Sky’s the Limit.”Welcome to Tranquility (2007) by Gail Simone and Neil Googe. Action, detection and history in a retirement community for superheroes, with plenty of throwbacks and flashbacks to the eras when these superheroes were in their primes.History of the Marvel Universe (2020) by Mark Waid and Javier Rodriguez. It is what it says on the tin. And it’s good.The Other History of the DC Universe (2021) by John Ridley and Giuseppe Camuncoli. In-universe DC history over the decades, through the eyes of characters of color, interwoven with real-life US events.The DC Book of Pride (forthcoming in 2023) by Jadzia Axelrod. A reference work of LGBTQ+ characters from DC past and present.
