Several full-color maps of iconic X-Men locations will also be included, along with information on how to craft an X-Men focused campaign.

Marvel has been developing the Marvel Multiverse Role-Playing Game for almost two years, working to build a game that allows players to either play as iconic Marvel superheroes or create their own characters. The game has gone through several major revisions during its playtesting phase, with the character building rules and mechanics involving stats and damage roles going through multiple radical changes. However, some core mechanics such as the 3D6-based “d616” system to determine successes or failures on checks have remained in place.ย
Expect to hear more details about the Marvel Multiverse Role-Playing Game later this year.ย
