About the adventure
Answer the call in MARVEL'S DISPATCH, a fast-paced Marvel Multiverse RPG experience built for both new and veteran players. Each session drops your heroes into a bite-sized, high-impact mission anywhere in New York—quick to learn, thrilling to play, and perfect for one-shots or rotating groups. New players get a welcoming, streamlined entry into superhero action, while seasoned players can push their mastery through varied threats, shifting tones, and creative problem-solving. Every dispatch is a standalone story with its own villain, mystery, and consequences, letting you jump in at any time without prior continuity. Whether you’re saving a subway car from the uncanny, stopping a metahuman heist mid-stride, or racing to contain a cosmic anomaly, the city always has another crisis—and S.H.I.E.L.D. needs you on the line.

About me
My name is Von and I have been playing D&D for more than a decade and have been a DM in-between years. I am also a huge comic book nerd specifically for Marvel. A huge part of my life is attributed to Marvel and my consummation of their media. I know all about their universes, their characters, and their stories to heart. Which is why I intend to run the Marvel Multiverse RPG, also as a love letter to the platform and other comic book fans out there that wish to live in such universes.

Creating your character
During the FREE Session 0, players will make their characters in Roll20. Characters will be Rank 2-3, and I will be in the call with the players to guide them and explain the process every step of the way, especially for beginners. If by any chance that all players have already made their respective character sheets before a Session 0, then we can skip to the main Oneshot Session instead.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Please join the game's Discord Server to get started. Please reach out to me in discord (saints.third) to receive an invite. The server is made to properly prepare the player to play in an organized manner.
What Von brings to the table
As the Narrator of MARVEL'S DISPATCH, I’ll give my players a fast, punchy, Marvel-style experience where every oneshot feels like a new episode. You provide clear mission briefs straight from S.H.I.E.L.D., dynamic encounters that push both roleplay and heroics, and a living New York full of personality, danger, and unexpected twists. At the table, I offer smooth onboarding for new players, deeper tactical layers for veterans, and flexible pacing that lets each oneshot shine as its own complete story. With evocative scenes, memorable NPCs, and cinematic stakes—big or small—I'll create an environment where players feel empowered, heroic, and excited to answer whatever bizarre or high-stakes crisis comes through the next dispatch call.

How Von creates a safe table
To ensure the safety and the quality of our table, I will do my best to screen all players and ensure the quality of personalities we will be dealing with. Additionally, during Session 0 or the main oneshot session, I will go over the code of conduct again, certain actions to take when lines are crossed, and a chance to get to know each player on the table before the game starts, which could help some players gauge the table itself.
