Marvel Multiverse RPG Playtest Rulebook

In the multiverse, there are an infinite number of roleplaying games. There are also an infinite number of roleplaying games based on the Marvel comics IP. I observe all that transpires here, but I do not, cannot, will not, interfere. For I am The Reviewer.

For what it’s worth, I’ve been on board with Marvel roleplaying games from the start. For a while, I played almost as much Marvel Superheroes as I did Dungeons & Dragons. I missed out on the Marvel Superhero Adventure Game (the one with the cards), and the Marvel Universe Roleplaying Game (the one with the stones), but I dove hard into Marvel Heroic Roleplaying Roleplaying (the one with the dice pools).

The first two Marvel roleplaying games were published by TSR, and Marvel Heroic Roleplaying was published by Margaret Weis Productions. Both the Marvel Universe Roleplaying game and the product we’re looking at today have been published by Marvel. Marvel publishing their RPG is an interesting turn in the RPG industry, but as noted, it’s not without precedence.
