OSR Reviews & Commentary On MA11 The Unofficial Marvel Super Heroes Rpg Marvel Vampires By The Unofficial Cannon Project

 So after last night's game we started hashing out our Marvel Super Heroes Rpg campaign. And one of the guys was joking about Marvel vampires. Let me start out by saying that Marvel/Atlas comics vampires are no joke. Ever since Tomb of Dracula redefined vampires in Marvel comics things haven't been the same.  The Unofficial Marvel Super Heroes Rpg Marvel Vampires By The Unofficial Cannon Project helps to expand upon this trend. Clocking in at one hundred & sixty six pages. I had a local printer do colour exterior title pages, a plastic sleeve front & back, & a spiral binding. This ran me around the twenty seven dollar mark with inflation paper prices. The Unofficial Marvel Super Heroes Rpg Marvel Vampires By The Unofficial Cannon Project is available for free when you join the  The Unofficial Cannon Project Facebook group here.   MA11  The Unofficial Marvel Super Heroes Rpg Marvel Vampires By The Unofficial Cannon Project  is listed under MA Accessories in the groups Google Drive. 
















The black & white interior artwork still looks amazing & MA11  The Unofficial Marvel Super Heroes Rpg Marvel Vampires By The Unofficial Cannon Project lays flat on the table top during game play.



 The MA11  The Unofficial Marvel Super Heroes Rpg Marvel Vampires is really a love letter to the Marvel vampire as both character & monster. For a World War II DM like myself the obvious candiate for me getting this book has to be Baron Blood. Sure he's been covered numerous time in other Marvel Super Heroes but getting into the bloody meat of the various Baron Blood & Baroness Bloods is essential. MA11  The Unofficial Marvel Super Heroes Rpg Marvel Vampires doesn't just cover the usual blood suckers & suck heads, it covers mutants such as Selene & other creatures of the Marvel universe that mimic vampires. 



The layout, spacing, and even the placement of the artwork emulates the old TSR Marvel Super Heroes rpg products as both homage & convience for the DM. It hits all of the right combination of buttons for both the nostalgia point of view and the actual use of the vampires in Marvel Super Heroes rpg games. There's also the surprising insertion of other vampire themed characters such as the classic Robert E. Howard's Solomon Kane! This is perfect for Marvel Super Heroes Sword & Sorcery or Horror themed campaigns!  And yes Chris, Blade's stats are included & have been updated within MA11  The Unofficial Marvel Super Heroes Rpg Marvel Vampires. 



























There's also the inclusion of the movers & shaker events of the Marvel comic books over the past 30 plus years.  MA11  The Unofficial Marvel Super Heroes Rpg Marvel Vampires does a very good job of hitting almost all of the high points through out this tome! 
And there's the fact there's the inclusion of several of the lesser known species & monsterous types of vampire including Lilith her projeny, and other dangerous vampires!































Is MA11  The Unofficial Marvel Super Heroes Rpg Marvel Vampires By The Unofficial Cannon Project  worth the download?! In a word?! Oh yes if your a fan of the Marvel Super Heroes rpg & you wanna run a horror themed campaign with vampires within it?! Yes this is an essential MSH supplement for such a campaign.
