Marvel Super Heroes (role-playing game)

Role-Playing Games

Marvel Super Heroes, often abbreviated MSH, is a licensed role-playing game set in the Marvel Universe, first published by TSR in 1984. It lets players take the roles of Marvel superheroes such as Spider-Man, Daredevil, the Hulk, Captain America, the Fantastic Four and the X-Men. The game was designed to be easy to understand, an approach that proved popular with players. TSR later published an expanded edition, the Marvel Superheroes Advanced Game, in 1986, which gave the line a second and more detailed rules set.
