Playing D&D With Superheroes...

Back cover illustration from Superhero 2044 (1977)
Superhero roleplaying games - in my case, Villains & Vigilantes - have always represented a coming-together of two great geek tastes: comic books and roleplaying games.

It's easy to find adaptations of comic book characters for a person's superhero game of choice on the web, but Chris Sims of Comic Alliance has put a unique spin on this in his latest "Ask Chris" column, by cataloguing the comic book characters he believes are most likely to actually play Dungeons & Dragons.

Read this and then tell me you wouldn't want to see an issue of the Fantastic Four (or Future Foundation or FF or whatever the F they're calling themselves at the moment) where Ben Grimm and Spider-Man roll some dice and play a bit of D&D!
