Review & Commentary On MT3 Marvel Super Heroes Advanced The Revenge of Kang By Ray Winniger

 "What if the Fantastic Four were never born? How many other heroes would be affected - who would die? Who would not decide to become a hero? Who would switch sides and become a villain? This is what Kang wants to happen. He and his alternate reality duplicates have targeted the early 1960's as the time-space to begin their (his?) domination of the planet Earth. The plan is to eliminate the heroes of the 20th Century to make life easier for Kang. Lots easier. Can your super-group foil this nefarious plot? Can you make it through the myriad of time-streams, finding the right Kang at the right time? Have you ever operated a time machine in any of your lives? Well you will now..."

We pick right up from our commentary on  MT2 The Weird, Weird West By Ray Winninger (Author)

MT3 Marvel Super Heroes Advanced The Revenge of Kang By Ray Winniger was published in 1989 and by 1990 we were deep into the 'Time Quake" campaign. This is a classic Avengers focused adventure. Kang the Conquerer is out for blood and to erase heroes! This adventure brings your heroes back to 1963 and it's a great adventure to bring in both classic and modern heroes into the fray. This is a time travel related adventure that plays a central pivot point to this adventure. "Revenge of Kang"  adventure points up the fact that the players really have to use thier 

brains. 

 According to the Wiki entry on "The Revenge of Kang" the review from Games International magazine hits some high points;"Games International magazine reviewed The Revenge of Kang and stated that "The Revenge of Kang sports the most absurd plot rationale in the history of module design. More time travel silliness provides the excuse for a succession of set pieces in which player characters either make skill rolls, fight villains or (exceptionally) use their noddles. Required for those who have played the first two, if only to rid your game of all this tosh, but not worth a look in otherwise.""
The time quake series of adventures  led our heroes into some very interesting places especially the Silver Age. The Revenge of Kang is a perfect adventure to introduce the MA6 The Silver Age Sourcebook by Keith A. Kilburn. The time traveling elements allow the DM to really play with the PC's. As we got stranded in 1959 by Kang in a recent romp  by our DM through Revenge of Kang. And that's the time period  where we currently are. 

Is the Revenge of Kang any good?! Yes, but it must be tied into the rest of the 'TimeQuake' series of modules. There's a ton of good material here from encounters to puzzles, but again the players are going to have to use thier heads and deal with the time travel issues.
