The Marvel Multiverse is calling!
Launched in 2023, the Marvel Multiverse Roleplaying Game lets RPG fans take on the roles of Marvel’s most famous Super Heroes – or create entirely new ones – and put an end to the sinister plots of the most menacing Super Villains in the Marvel Multiverse. Also written by Matt Forbeck (The Marvel Encyclopedia (recently released in a new edition by Alan Cowsill and others), Dungeons & Dragons: Dungeonology), it includes all new chapter-opening splash pages by Mike Bowden along with illustrations from Marvel’s incredible army of artists.
The Core Rulebook features all the rules you need to play – including quick character creation, bombastic combat and scores of amazing powers – plus full profiles of dozens of Marvel’s greatest heroes and villains. All you need is this book, three standard dice and some friends.
The Marvel Multiverse Roleplaying Game: Spider-Verse Expansion gives you new rules for creating Spider-heroes of your own, along with a deep dive into all the spider mythos. Explore new ways to build compelling supporting characters, new rules to handle symbiotes and clones and how to deal with your biggest foes, like the Sinister Six. Plus, new equipment and dozens of new characters including Carnage, Chasm, Madame Web, Spider-Ham, Spider-Man Noir, and many more.
This new book joins other extensions to the game: Marvel Multiverse Role-Playing Game: X-Men Expansion was released last year. Further expansions are in the works: the Marvel Multiverse Role-Playing Game: Avengers Expansion is due for release in September 2025.
