StartThis article has been rated as Start-class on Misplaced Pages's content assessment scale.
MidThis article has been rated as Mid-importance on the project's importance scale.

The article should definitely mention that in V&V you played yourself, as that sets it apart from most other games. If I remember correctly, it worked like that: You (in real life) are the "secret identity" of the superhero you play, so character generation is "guessing yourself" plus adding superpowers.

A mechanics sections should be added, summarizing the playing style of V&V. I'm sure a lot of readers would be interested, besides myself.

Added a note about the self-character bit as well as a note about the difficult self-assessment of characteristics (I never did figure out how you were supposed to form a game out of people who all had differing ideas of humility. It's just an invitation for someone to cause a fight by overestimating himself)24.165.210.213 15:03, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Features of the Game

Someone with a copy of the game should probably discuss in more detail:

1. Major features of the game:

    a. playing "yourself" with superpowers.
    b. random superpower generation
    c. The ability to have "ad hoc" superpowers
    d. The combat system

2. Proliferation of game adventures ("modules"), and the DNAgents licensed sourcebook.

3. Legal status (FGU vs. creators) from the late 80's until now.

4. Jeff Dee's Living Legends game as an unofficial successor.

Also, the Crisis in Crusader's Citadel module information should probably be pared down. Aside from being sold as part of the boxed set, it really doesn't warrant as much space as is devoted to it.

Added to list of published material

I added items from Jeff Dee's V&V Collector's Checklist to the list of published material. His page used as a source is here:

http://www.io.com/unigames/vclist.html

I also corrected the Most Wanted entry, for somewhat obscure reasons Most Wanted Volumes 1 and 3 were published, Volume 2 was never finished.

List of Villains and Vigilantes adventures and supplements

Added the link for a Publications article, I'll add the article later (unless someone else beats me to it -- it's the same list as the one in an earlier version of the article). Not sure why it was deleted, many other RPG articles have a product/adventure list.

I put it in, if I missed something anybody who knows better is welcome to fix it. Gladrius 19:20, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:V&V Module CCC.jpg

Image:V&V Module CCC.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Misplaced Pages article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Misplaced Pages:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Misplaced Pages policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
