Welcome to my new blog!
In the old days of comics, the various companies often maintained an open work area where pencilers, inkers, colorists, letterers, writers and editors would all work together, sharing ideas, collaborating and working the magic that created the comic books we grew up with, know and love. These spaces were often referred to as the "bullpen" and probably most famously the Marvel Bullpen.
This blog will be my attempt to capture the spirit if those old bullpens and put my various thoughts and ideas for superhero TTPG gaming in one dedicated place. While the vast majority of the content here will be directed at the system I play most - the classic Marvel Supheroes RPG from TSR, the game that inspired the name of the blog - a good amount of the posts will take the form of general advise, commentary and the examination of the tropes of the genre and how players and GMs can use them to better their superhero RPGs.
As time goes by, I may start to share characters and art from my past playing this game. Many of the illustrations are dated and show just how long ago i started playing this but I feel the character stats, concepts and designs are all still worth sharing. I hav made, A LOT of characters back in the day and could likely continue to play Marvel Superheroes without ever having to make another.
If you have followed my original blog, I See Lead People, some of the early posts here may seem familiar to you as will be porting them over to this dedicated blog.
I hope you will enjoy the content here, follow the blog and comment freely as I love to discuss the hobby. I may not be the most knowledgible or well-read comics fan but I do love superhero comics and the games we play about them.
