Review & Commentary On TU1 Gamer's Handbook of the Marvel Universe Godzilla King Of The Monsters For TSR Marvel Super Heroes Rpg

 TU1 Gamer's Handbook of the Marvel Universe Godzilla King Of The Monsters is another Marvel Super Heroes RPG: The Unofficial Canon Project creation. TU1 is an expansive book numbering about two hundred & thirty four pages of Kaiju & attendant lore surrounding almost the entire run of the Toho characters. And there's more thrown into the deeper Kaiju background. 


From Anguirus to Zone Fighter TU1 covers it all in great details. The sheer amound of details in this version of the Gamer's Handbook of the Marvel Universe is damn staggering. Even as I pour over the various  Marvel Super Heroes RPG: The Unofficial Canon Project creations the sheer amount of work in these fan creations is staggering. 

The various eras & creations of Taho and their attendant companies IP's are given their due. And these creations are more like natural disasters rather then monsters. And this book makes an excellent counterpoint to the recent MA12 the Marvel Super Heroes RPG: The Unofficial Canon Project Monsters Unleashed Pdf!

TU1 Gamer's Handbook of the Marvel Universe Godzilla King Of The Monsters really shifts the focus over to the Japanese side of these universe within Kaiju circles.While MA12's focuses on the classic Marvel side especially the Sixties & Seventies Bronze age comicbook titles. TU1's pdf is available in the 'Other' Documents section of the Marvel Super Heroes RPG: The Unofficial Canon Project's Google Drive. 

An this focus is evident within the pages of TU-1 with it's centering on the Seventies Shogun Warriors robots & organization. The background of classic era title character's profiles with powers, FASRIP attributes, and more. 

This no nonsense look at the Kaiju and their bacground elements insures that they will be taken seriouly as a threat by the players of your Marvel Super Heroes Rpg campaign 

What TU1 does right is the fact that it presents the factions, aliens, even the creations from the Godzilla anime such as Mecha Godzilla City. And there's more such as the various incarnations of the big guy himself. 



























And what makes TU1 Gamer's Handbook of the Marvel Universe Godzilla King Of The Monsters  work is the Godzilla central focus. This approach makes TU1 indespensible for the hardcore Marvel Godzilla fans! Why? Because of the fact that there's a ton of adventure potential in the realms of classic & modern Kaiju. Seriously there isn't a red blooded super hero in Marvel lore that couldn't benefit from the appearance of a Kaiju within a campaign. Not to mention the horrors that are associated with some of the Kaiju that are associated with the monsters chronicled within  TU1. Monsters that are living within & on Godzilla, Rodan, etc. that are imicial to mankind. This makes the passing of Godzilla & Co a major problem for groups such as the Avengers or Xmen. These movements of the Kaiju were tracked by S.H.I.E.L.D. back in the Eighties & Nineties in our Marvel Super Heroes rpg campaigns. 
Between all of the adventure elements, factions, aliens, etc presented with the pages of TU1 Gamer's Handbook of the Marvel Universe Godzilla King Of The Monsters pages there's years & years worth of encounters, plots, and hooks more to keep your  TSR Marvel Super Heroes Rpg satisfied!
