Project PEGASUS: A Campaign for Marvel United

IMG_7430

The Project PEGASUS series was one of my favorite comic series when I was a kid. It took place in Marvel Two-In-One Issues 42, 43, and 53-58 back in 1978 and 1979. There are several reasons I liked this story: it featured the Thing and a really interesting cast of characters, including Quasar and Man-Thing! Plus, it’s one of the few times you see the art of John Byrne and George Perez together.

Once Season 3 of Marvel United arrived, I saw that Project PEGASUS was indeed a Location from the Multiverse base set: see above (we reviewed the base Multiverse set here)!

We also got a chance to play some of the campaigns that came from the Marvel United Campaign Decks!   See last week as we reviewed some of these experiences!

See all the great series of Marvel Comics!  But where’s the campaign for Project PEGASUS?

Never mind, I’ll do it myself.

The Road To Development

Over the past month, I have read and re-read the Project PEGASUS series (a burden of joy) to get a sense of what its campaign might look like.  See above as I have taken out most of the content I need!

After coming up with a general outline of what the Villains, Heroes, and Games should be, I started to put something together!  See above for written notes on the first draft of this campaign.

I’ve have also had some play testing from my friends, as well as many many many solo games (with 2, 3, and 4 Heroes).

In the end, I am very proud of the Campaign I came up with: it follows the story of Project PEGASUS pretty well and adds some new ideas to Marvel United.

Over the last few weeks, the campaign has evolved quite a bit: I have some added some new Villains and Heroes for the final cut.

Some of the ideas in the Project PEGASUS campaign are a little outside the box, because even though Season 3 made this all possible, I will still missing some pieces (Heroes/Villains/etc) to make the campaign complete.  So, I had to improvise using what I had. 

I am very proud of what I did for Games 1 and 5, and especially Game 2.  But be aware that those games are a little different.

What Do I Need?

Like all of the campaigns, The Project PEGASUS campaign needs a lot of pieces stolen from all parts of Marvel United. See the complete list below.

• Base Marvel United
• Spider-Geddon Marvel United
• Multiverse Marvel United
• Season 1 Stretch Goals
• Season 3 Stretch Goals
• Fantastic Four
• World War Hulk
• Annihilation
• Civil War
• Enter The Spider-Verse
• War of Kings

Current State

The current draft of the campaign is at version 1.0.1.  I fully expect there to be revisions made as me and others playtest it. 
UPDATE: We are now at 1.1.0: we had some explanation clean-up and a few balance adjustments to Game 1!
Oct 20th, 2024 UPDATE: Updated to 1.2.0: Added explanation of how to play solo, updated Game 2 with better descriptions and a rules fix/clarification.

Feel free to download the PDF below and give it a try!!!   If there is interest, I can try making the form factor more like cards (with Rules cards and Event cards), but right now the Events are presented alongside the Games of interest in the PDF document below.

 If you have any feedback (too easy, too hard, spelling problems, unclear rules), please email us at returnfromsubroutine @ gmail.com

We’d love to hear from you!  How did it go?
