Become part of the Marvel Universe!  In this class we will use the free Marvel Super Heroes Basic Rules to create an original character to play a Marvel role playing game!

Please note:  This is not a drawing class.  We will not be drawing original heroes.  We will be creating a character for a Marvel role playing game.  It will only exist in our imaginations.

In this class we will use a D&D like set of role-playing game rules to create a Marvel Super Hero RPG character.  Maybe you were bitten by a radioactive animal!  Maybe you were bombarded with cosmic rays!  Maybe you were born a mutant with amazing powers!  Maybe you've invented devices that give you super powers!  Maybe you're an alien from space!  You can create anything you can imagine in the Marvel Super Hero RPG.  Students will be guided through the process of creating a character deciding the character's origin, powers, and abilities.

This class will be highly interactive.  I will explain the basics of a role-playing game, then help students create their Marvel character.  We will be going beyond the numbers of character creation and use our imaginations to decide what our characters were doing before they began their life of adventure.  

While this is not a drawing class, we will discuss the visual depiction of the characters.  I will suggest some online resources to help learners create a picture of their character.

Knowledge of role-playing games and Marvel Comics or movies is helpful, but not a requirement.

If time permits, we will play a very short introductory encounter.

Excelsior!
