Marvel 1950 - d100 Weird Investigations & Mysteries


























In my Marvel 1949 game we advanced to 1950 - thinking each real-world month would be a game year. As the 50s roll in there are more aliens, monsters, weird creepy killers and fighting communism features than prior eras/ This table includes more occult and storage stuff for heroes to investigate. As im simulating an era of hero comics in decline vs romance, horror and true crime I will probably try to use my romance tables. Possible remaining sidekicks and child gangs might hijack their heroes in the comics as goofy kid gangs and teen romantic comedies. This table should cover more weird non supr hero adventures of 1950s pulp and cinema.
