Review & Commentary On MA15 The Unofficial Canon Project Marvel Super Heroes Rpg Heroes of The North For The Marvel Super Heroes Rpg By TSR

 So once again I find myself raiding the Unofficial Canon Project Marvel Super Heroes Rpg archives & came across  MA15 The Unofficial Canon Project Marvel Super Heroes Rpg Heroes of The North. So why is this an important sourcebook? Because if your a DM or player who uses Alpha Flight then according to the author; "So why the sourcebook?


There were a couple of different reasons, the first was that I always thought there was enough material in the Alpha Flight lore, despite various volumes, to make up a  sourcebook: Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Omega Flights, Department H and K, the Weapon X project, the Great Beasts, the Inuit gods, Caliber, and countless others. These characters have a rich history and one that deserves to be told in a decent format. John Byrne, despite not caring much for the characters or even really wanting the job, tapped into something with the characters that drew fans to them. Secondly, George Henson and I talked about working on this together, but life got in the way, and he had to bow out...So I figured I would do what I could to carry it across the finish line. Lastly...Because we need one. We have one for the X-Men, Avengers and Fantastic Four...why not Alpha Flight?'  MA15 The Unofficial Canon Project Marvel Super Heroes Rpg Heroes of The North book is a solid 191 pages of wall to wall Canadian heroes, villains, NPC's, equipment, and even the lairs of the various flights!
