[QUOTE="Whizbang Dustyboots, post: 9605442, member: 11760"] I think the best thing for Villains & Vigilantes, which doesn't seem likely to happen any time soon, is for them to bring in some new designer who'd clean things up more than a little and use current OSR design models to polish up a true classic game. Couple that with connecting with up and coming comic book artists, like the original run did with Bill Willingham, featuring characters who would eventually reappear in his Elementals comic, and you might have something. More likely, alas, is that V&V will become even more of a trivia question. Superhero RPGs haven't exactly set the world on fire in recent years, despite the rise of the MCU, The Boys, the Arrowverse, etc., but I have faith that someone will succeed soon, maybe Free League with their Invincible RPG, and that will make V&V even more irrelevant. I [I]really[/I] loved V&V growing up and my brother and I still talk to each other (and razz each other) about some of our classic characters. I'd love for it to be a player again, but that would require the parties with a claim to the brand to stop bickering and figure out a way to work together. [/QUOTE]
