The Marvel Multiverse RPG is a great adaptation of the Marvel Universe, with fantastic interpretation of things like the underdog factor that allows lower powered heroes to occasionally win against more powerful foes (yup, there's a specific power / ability for that). The powers are thematic and easy enough to understand one you get the hang of the system, and characters are pretty self-contained books of abilities which tell you how they function in the game. Gameplay is fast paced once learned and people sticking out long term campaigns can begin to lean into the characters as they are. I believe some GMs might decide to run the game as a "leveling" game, when it's designed to more of a static power system telling stories about the characters as they are, and this concept can weaken the gameplay experience for those who desire to increase in power throughout a campaign rather than embracing their character as is.

A great game to run if you have 1 player or more. A lot less brain load for the GM if you have a low number of players, but brain load can ramp up if over 4 players. Love the Marvel genre!

I had a ton of fun running and playing this game. It was my first experience with the Superhero genre and I loved it. The game can be enjoyed by most anyone by grabbing a premade hero you're familiar with. Making your own Superhero is a little harder but your Narrator can help with that. I did find higher tier combat to be difficult, but that's my only negative. Great game for MARVEL fans!

If you're a fan of Marvel, or comic books in general, this game is what you're looking for. The system has a bit of a learning curve if you're used to d20 systems, but once you get used to it is very intuitive and makes combat quite simple and fast paced. Whether you want to be a current Marvel hero, or make your own, this is definitely the system to do it in!

Ever wanted to put yourself into the Marvel Multiverse? Adventure alongside Cap, Dr. Strange, or Groot? Here, you can play one of the hundreds of Marvel superheroes, or build your own, with a varied and open system for creating your character that allows you to mix and match features that may not be possible in other systems. Additionally, the system is designed for you to be a hero! Forget the restrictions of other TTRPGs; this one allows you to really stretch and become more powerful than you can possibly imagine! Blend your character to take on Marvel's most dastardly and cruel supervillians in your own way, with heroes you know and love at your side!

As a Marvel fan, I jumped early at the opportunity to GM this system. The main positives for me: - Simple to pick up rules-wise. The powers are where the crunch of the rules are found. Meaning you only need to figure the powers of the characters in play. - Lots of pre-generated famous Marvel characters are available. Great for the Narrator to easily drop them in, but the game also fully supports players picking their favorite heroes. They play well with custom created heroes and make everyone happy - Plenty of types of superpowers that can be mixed together, providing a flexible way to create the superhero of your dreams - Rolling the equivalent of a critical hit on the dice happens frequently and activates special effects of the super powers, helping the battles to be more dynamic and exciting The slightly bad: - Some powers are not balanced and end up being disruptive, even with heroes at low levels of power. A good narrator can identify the pain points, blocking some powers and adjusting others. Still, just a very few of them are part of this problem.

How to play the Marvel Multiverse Role-Playing Game

In this game, you and your fellow players team up to tell amazing new stories in your own corner of the Marvel Multiverse. The Marvel Multiverse Role-Playing Game uses three, six-sided dice, to determine the outcome of your actions. One of these dice is designated as the "Marvel die", which can cause special things to happen on a roll of 1 on the die. Your characters will fall into one of six "Archetypes" (Blaster, Bruiser, Genius, Polymath, Protector, or Striker), which will determine the abilities and skills you have access to as you begin your heroic adventure across the Marvel Multiverse!

Frequently asked questions about Marvel Multiverse Role-Playing Game

Explore Marvel Multiverse Role-Playing Game Classes

Blaster image

Blaster

A blaster is uncanny at attacking people from afar. It doesn't matter whether they're using arrows, bullets, or optic blasts, they can hit their targets fast and from a (hopefully) safe distance. Examples: Cyclops, Hawkeye, Human Torch

Bruiser image

Bruiser

A bruiser uses their incredible toughness to absorb all sorts of damage in a fight, and they use their amazing strength to deal out even more of it. They like to wade into the center of things and start throwing punches, sometimes throwing other things, like cars, or other heroes. Examples: Colossus, Hulk, Juggernaut

Genius image

Genius

A genius is one of the smartest people in the world, able to invent solutions for the thorniest problems on the fly. They are just as at home in a laboratory as they are analyzing the situation on the field of battle. Examples: Doctor Doom, Mister Fantastic, Shuri

Polymath image

Polymath

A polymath is good at all sorts of things, often in amazing ways that don't typically match up. They might not be the best there is at any particular thing, but they're better than just about everyone in general. Examples: Captain America, Iron Man, Miles Morales

Protector image

Protector

A protector is excellent at coordinating teams and getting people to work together to be their best. They can shine on their own, but when working with a team they can be dazzling. Examples: Doctor Strange, Invisible Woman, Professor X

Striker image

Striker

A striker hits hard and fast, relying on their reflexes and training to keep them out of harm's way. They make good loners if they can avoid getting hurt too badly, but they can be even better on a team, where they can rely on others for protection and support so they can really cut loose. Examples: Daredevil, Wolverine, Blade
