The 'Marvel Multiverse Role-Playing Game' Developer Update #6 Covers Gen Con, X-Men Expansion, Deadpool and More

Hello, Marvelites! In celebration of 616 Day (like our system), we’re back with an exciting Developer Update #6 for the Marvel Multiverse Role-Playing Game. We have a lot of fun information for us to share, so let’s jump right into it.

 

Gen Con 2024

We’re excited to announce that we will be an Event Sponsor for Gen Con this summer! From August 1st through August 4th, you will be able to explore the Multiverse in Room 233 (2nd floor of the Hoosier Concourse). Our room can be found by taking the escalator outside of Exhibit Hall I up one floor. The easiest way to access the room is by taking the entrance on Capitol Avenue and following the arrows. Lost? No worries! We understand that the Multiverse is extremely vast. You can always ask the staff at the show to point you in the right direction.

Gen Con will be your only chance to snag an early copy of the Marvel Multiverse Role-Playing Game: X-Men Expansion. The first 125 fans who purchase the book each day will also receive an exclusive X-Men pin (while supplies last), so make sure you get there early.

We will also be running sessions of Deadpool Role-Plays the Marvel Universe all weekend. Every participant will receive a free copy of our new adventure, so make sure to grab your seat before they fill up (while supplies last). Registration for events will be live soon, so keep on the lookout!

 

Marvel Multiverse Role-Playing Game: X-Men Expansion

We’re less than two months away from the launch of Marvel Multiverse Role-Playing Game: X-Men Expansion on August 7th. The expansion is a must-have for X-Men fans and contains all of the information you need to start your own mutant-themed campaign. Already running an adventure with your friends? No worries, you can still use this book to add new maps, encounters, vehicles and powers to your existing one. Here’s a peek at the table of contents to give you a sense of what’s to come:

Tony’s Workshop and Errata

Thank you all for the amazing feedback during the launch of Tony’s Workshop. We’ve added some new content to it and would love your thoughts! Some of these changes are to help balance powers that we’ve found to be slightly stronger than we originally intended. Take a look, test them out and let us know what you think!

We’ve also made some updates to the Errata for the Core Rulebook.
