Let’s take a look at all the current superhero roleplaying games that proudly carry the flag of the mid-1980’s Marvel Super Heroes Roleplaying Game by cloning or remixing the much-loved ‘FASERIP’ game mechanics, creating a wild, nostalgia-fueled supers experience for modern gamers.

What’s FASERIP?

For the uninitiated, ‘FASERIP’ refers to the game mechanic that powered the Marvel Super Heroes Roleplaying Game, specifically the primary character attributes that every hero and villain had: Fighting, Agility, Strength, Endurance, Reason, Intuition, and Psyche. Thus: F.A.S.E.R.I.P! The system used a universal table that cross-referenced a character’s rating in the appropriate attribute and the total of a percentage dice roll (a.k.a. d100 or d%).

Below are several roleplaying games that look back to the Marvel Super Heroes Roleplaying Game and utilize its core system or re-state it to be a bit cleaner to reference and easier to learn (retroclones), and a few that take it in new directions (remixes).
