Easy to learn! DC Heroes Roleplaying Game Ad from 1984
Way back in 1984, the November/December issue of Space Gamer magazine featured this full-page ad for Mayfair Games’ DC Heroes roleplaying game (Amazon.com search*). I’ve posted an old ad for this game before, and even today I can dig out my DC Heroes roleplaying game books and smile. These were definitely a product of thier time, but I had so many fun hours with the game back in the eighties that I can overlook all of the crunchy mathyness of the game and appreciate the title for what it was.

I still love it, even though Blood of Heroes (its successor for the system) is pretty much OOP and hard to find now.
Interestlingly, the crunchy math involved actually gave it a lot of fans in the mathematics community. The each rank is double the last rank system really intrigues them.
