#XMen97 #FASERIP #RPG

In this episode of the podcast, I was going through my books and I saw a X-Men Adventures comic book I had in with my various FASERIP books. It made me remember the time I was playing FASERIP during the '90s and we were heavily leaning on the X-Men cartoon as inspiration and I was reading these comics at the time to help me get into the mood of the games.
