[edit]

Mayfair Games published the superhero role-playing game DC Heroes in 1985.

Reception

[edit]

Pete Tamlyn reviewed Don't Ask! for White Dwarf #88, and thought the whole thing was an in joke, stating that "you need to be a comic fan (and a DC aficionado in particular) in order to understand many of the jokes. That gives the adventure a much more limited audience".[1]
