I've been kinda out of the MHR circuit for a while; have they made physical versions of the Civil War supplements yet? I could have sworn they were going to be out something like last July, but I've not been able to find them.
I received my preorder copy of Fifty State Initiative about six weeks or so ago. My understanding of the situation is that at MWP tried to save money by taking on a Chinese printer, and their attempts at getting any amount of any kind of product from that printer were all unsuccessful and pushed back the print release of everything by some disgusting number of months.
Things got pushed back across the board by a little bit when, if I had to guess, they realized they were a little over-aggressive on what they wanted to put out with the staff they have on hand, but that only led to stuff like the Young Avengers/Runaways book getting bumped from something like June to September, but on the whole it seems that the main problem with a lack of product can be chalked up to the problem with the earlier printer. My impression is that once MWP takes care of the problem revolving around their books being late going to print, the main chokepoint in new product will be that there are a limited number of hours in the day in which their one (incredibly talented) layout guy is able to work.

PDFs are only available until April 30th, so get them while they're still available. I've heard secondhand that this isn't at all MWP's call, but instead Marvel's pulling the license as a result of some target number of sales not being met.
I guess this explains why all of the Marvel news was allowed to drift off the front page of their website in the last couple of days.
Edit: I'm also now reading that MWP couldn't afford the licensing fee another year in light of low sales, and that Marvel is just being demanding about how long the company is still allowed to sell a game with their name on the cover. No matter whose "fault" it is, this really just sucks on a ton of levels.

Though the Cortex system will still be around. No idea how different Marvel Heroic was from the basic Cortex, though.
There is no "Basic Cortex." There's Cortex Action, Cortex Drama, and Cortex Heroic(?), which share the dice pool mechanic but use it in completely different ways. I don't know that Heroic Roleplaying will be seen in an MWP product again, and that makes me sad.

I think, though I'm still really new to this system, that I would be in to try and help make some fan-created events and PDFs. It's such a gorgeous system, and it captures the feel of comic adventures and superheroics. A Secret Invasion, Age of Apocalypse, House of M, and even a Secret Wars event could be awesome. So why not make them ourselves?
I'm determined to do just that, as soon as I figure out what exactly I want to do with it. Too many ideas are crammed in my head right now.

And I couldn't come up with a solid way to make Rhino's charge really deadly if he hits but easier to dodge, so I made his SFX give him better odds at doing big damage (potential d12) and his limit reflect how his speed makes it hard for him to change course or slow down once he starts. I strongly encourage that the Watcher activates it anytime he charges (which should be pretty often. He is the Rhino after all.)
Try dropping the current Limit and replacing Charge! with "Step up or double Superhuman Strength for one action. If that action fails, gain an OUT OF CONTROL complication equal to your effect die."
For his Limit, what about this?
Easily Provoked: Step up emotional stress inflicted on Rhino to add a d6 to the doom pool or step up its lowest die.
Putting some work into the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants right now. Hope to have something up later today.

Here are some members of the Brotherhood, chosen on the basis that they were alive around the time of Breakout. Enjoy Blob, Magneto, and Unus The Untouchable. As a bonus, Watcher versions of Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch. I'll probably do up some player versions of these in the near future. I think my next project will be some pre-M-Day player versions of the depowered mutants who served on the New Warriors.

I second that.
Edit: I'm also a little iffy about some of the affiliations. Scarlet Witch strikes me as more of a team d8, buddy d10 to me. She works best in pairs imo. And I feel like Magneto is more like a solo d8, team d10 (he's ruled nations of Mutants, even empires of them!) and Blob, I think, works with Toad as a partner most of the time. Maybe buddy d10, team d8? I'm not an X-men afficionado though. Anyone else want to weigh in on this?
Magneto's affiliation dice are set the way they are to account for his relative effectiveness in different situations. Magneto and the Brotherhood as a group are often about as much of a threat as Magneto alone, and I'm trying to replicate that. I could see swapping Buddy and Team, but Magneto does seem more willing to cut loose in a one-against-many situation.
You've absolutely got a point about Scarlet Witch, but I'm trying to represent her post-Disassembled, world-level-threat appearances, in which she's far more effective on her own when there's no one around to hold her back. A player datafile would probably be Solo d6, Buddy d10, Team d8, but I want Wanda to be at her best when the whole world (players included) is against her.
Edit: Went ahead and tweaked Magneto's Buddy and Team values, and set Quicksilver's affiliations the way that I thought I'd already put them. If anyone else thinks that Blob's affiliations should be changed around, I'm certainly not married to the way they are now.

Not that I could find. But datafiles tend to get mixed up in weird places sometimes. The books are so disorganized, it's almost criminal.
No write-up for Pyro, but there is an official Toad in Civil War: X-Men.
If you're looking for a particular datafile, this spreadsheet is a huge help. It's got every official datafile that's come out, and a pretty comprehensive listing of fan datafiles.

I've got a Mastermind I can post in a little bit. Put him together months ago, but for some reason figured no one would be interested in him. Also, playable, Breakout-appropriate versions of Jubilee and Beak.

I liked the suggestions on Gambit, and I've tried to incorporate them into the design of the character. I know that Kinetic Control d8 might seem low, but it puts Gambit about where he should be in terms of destructive capability. He's got the staff and the SFX to be a very capable hand to hand fighter, or he can duck out for a round and create an asset that will do some real damage. Gambit has always seemed like a burst-focused, hit-and-run kind of fighter, and that seems to be well replicated by his power set.
Also, totally not done. Trying to blow through mutants who were active heroes as of New Avengers #1, with tentative plans to put together a mini-event based around the first arc of Astonishing X-Men. Should have Northstar, Xorn, Polaris, and Fantomex ready to go in the next couple of days, and then it's off to handle the Excalibur and New X-Men crews.

Possibly about to be five since my job cut overtime as of this week.
I might be starting one as well once I finish the remaining 34 of these 52 datafiles I'm working on for an event guide.

Whoa, that's a hell of an Event Guide you're writing up. Does this have anything to do with the Teen Titans datafiles you posted recently?
Sure does. Working on an Identity Crisis event guide, as the timeline coincides with Avengers Disassembled so well that it'll be easy to incorporate DC characters into the Marvel universe or run Identity Crisis with Marvel characters as a Disassembled alternative. Like the Civil War event book, I'm trying to structure it with an eye toward the event being fun even for people who hated the actual comic.

Remember how I said that I was working on a bunch of datafiles for an Identity Crisis event book? Well, here's the final list. All but eleven of the fifty-four player datafiles I was working on are now completed. Watcher datafiles will also be incorporated for heroes who had a minor role, and of course I've got a ton of villains to work on. Heroes were chosen based on their importance to the Identity Crisis storyline or their prominence in books published during that time period. It would be appreciated if someone could let me know if I'm missing someone big.

I'm not a DC fanatic, so I can't really say, though I am very excited to see some of these guys. Are you collecting these to share with the community, or are they more for personal use?
Once I've got the datafiles all done, I'll try to figure out a nice layout and stick them into a PDF or something. Probably upload them to the wiki, too.
