Marvel Super Heroes
The FASERIP System
TSR's Classic Superhero RPG (1984–1993)
The FASERIP System
The Marvel Super Heroes RPG uses seven primary attributes that spell out FASERIP. Each attribute has a rank (from Feeble to Beyond) that determines how many dice you roll and what column you use on the Universal Table. Simple, elegant, and perfect for capturing comic book action.

Campaign Logs
The team infiltrated a Hydra auction in Madripoor, only to discover the Serpent Crown was the prize. Radiance nearly fell under its influence before Nightstrike shattered the display case. The Crown escaped with an unknown buyer.
A diplomatic mission to Latveria went sideways when Doombots attacked during the peace summit. Was it really Doom, or a frame job? The team escaped with more questions than answers.
Disappearances in the subway led the team into Morlock territory. A tense standoff with Callisto revealed the real threat: Mister Sinister's gene-hunters operating below.
