In a wonderful city not far away, the worlds most brilliant scientist stands on a rooftop, extends his body, and, like a sail flapping in the wind, drifts away on currents of air. Nearby, a freelance photographer swings over concrete valleys hundreds of feet deep, suspended by a thread.
In the city the supreme wizard pf a thousand worlds studies a scroll written before the Himalayas rose from earth. Sunlight strike rainbow colors from ther veined wings of a woman half an inch high. A blind man leaps across tower of glass, idly eavesdropping on conversations a quarter-mile away.
They live in a city of wonders, gigantic, electric, as super human as they themselves. The greatest city on Earth.
New York City, New York… in the MARVEL UNIVERSE.
The city is not far away – right in this box, in fact. With the Deluxe City Campaign Set, a Judge can create a fullscale MARVEL SUPER HEROES campaign taking place in New York City – the Big Apple! – locale of many of Marvel’s most popular comic books. This set explains the city’s layout, describes some important organizations in detail, visits many landmark and gives the “feel” of life in the major city of the Marvel universe. It also explains how Mervel’s New York differes from the real article.
But this set offers something more important than mere information. From these pages Judges can learn how to create or improve full-scale campaings set anywhere, and how to generate adventures using interesting background locations

About Deluxe City Campaign Set

The Marvel Universe fascinates its fans not only because of the world in which the heroes live and the adventures they have there. For instance, think of Spider-Man, and you think of him swinging between the skyscrapers of Manhattan, stopping crimes, and taunting J. Jonah Jameson at the Daily Bugle.
The Deluxe City Campaign Set supplement is a new kind of product in the Marvel game line. It Focuses not on the individual heroes but on there people around them, their environment, and the elements that make up the heroes adventures. For Descriptions of the heroes themselves, see rhe Original and Advanced Sets, or check out the other MARVEL SUPER HEROES game supplements published by TSR:

This Supplement is designed for use with the MARVEL SUPER HEROES Advanced Set, but it can also work with the Original Set rules. The whole set is meant for the Judge’s eyes only; players should not read it!
For a Judge who has never lived in New York City, its layout, institutions, and “feel”. For Judge who has lived there, this set explains how Marvels New York differs from our own New York.
You will find in the Deluxe City Campaign Set:

• This 96-page Campaign Source-book, which describes New York City, With emphasis on the borough of Manhattan. It depicts many of the city’s “Hot spots”, landmarks that make good backdrops for adventures, such as the Emprire State Building and the Morlock Tunnels. For more about the “Hotspot” format, read the book.
  The sourcebook also includes write-ups of three organizations that figure prominently in super-heroic adventures: the police, the Maggia crime familes, and the repair agency called Damage Control. By learning how these work and eeting the people who run them, the Judge can use more effectiely in campaign.
  Then come sections that envoke the atmosphere of life in a big city, the “feel” of metropolis to those who live there – both above ground and below.
• The 64-page Adventure Book describes the ingredients that make a good adventure: the villain, character goals and motivations, adventure hooks, plot twists, and so on through to the grand final. It gives advice on running an ongoing campaign that supplements the advice in the advanced Set.
  The book begins with a rundown of a given year’s major events in Manhattan. Any one of the can provide the “hook” for an adventure.
  The book also includes many small scenatios tied to the Hotspot entries in the Campaign Sourcebook, as well as a large adventure, “Fun City”m which uses the locations described in the Sourcebooks locations in the campaign. The Judge can use these as springboards for his or her own adventures, or as lessons in how to turn locations into scenario ideas.
  Again the Adventure Book is for the Judge’s eyes only; read it after reading this Sourcebook.
• There are four large maps in this box. Two of them fit together to show a large section of midtown Manhattan, including Rockefeller Center, St. PAtrick;s Cathedral, the Roxxon Building, and Four Freedoms Plaza.
  The third map shows selected New York sites, including the United Nations grouinds and the Empire State Building, as well as Central Park and typical subway car.
  The fourth map depicts the Statue of Liberty. The Statue id described in this book, and several of the adventures in the Adventure Book use it as settings
