Marvel Multiverse RPG – Black Canary
I did Black Canary early on for MHR and I thought she was a good alternative to some other options as she has actual powers. I had to go Rank 4 to get access to Barrage. You could go a weaker version for sure. Black Canary Rank 4 Dinah Lance […]
Marvel Multiverse RPG – Batman
So the main guy, The Batman. I built him at rank 4 as I could get the powers in that I wanted. Could easily have gone to Rank 5. Rank 3 would be difficult. I went for spider powers as they simulate his movement and snares. I considered Elemental Control for gadgets but it didn’t […]
MMV RPG Shang Chi Vs Lady Shiva
So having made Shiva (and updated her = here) I ran a Combat between her and Shang Chi. I made a few mistakes on the first attempt (see below), but I ran a new one, which was closer. Shang Chi Vs Lady shiva 2 Keeping the initial dice from last time SC H 90 F […]
Marvel Multiverse RPG – Lady Shiva
Another DC character. Why such an obscure one? She was the first character I made for MHR. Pretty easy to do. Started with normal CC then looked at Shang chi’s powers and tweaked. Rank 4 seems high but it’s the only way to get this many powers – I had started at Rank 3. Lady […]
Marvel Multiverse RPG – Harley Quinn
So just like with MHR I[‘m starting with DC characters, specifically Batman characters. And since my Daughter is a huge fan – Harley Quinn. I provide 2 Ranks. Rank 2 to represent her early appearances as a joker henchman, and Rank 3 as a more experienced Anti-Hero. Harley Quinn Rank 2 Dr Harleen Quinzel […]
Marvel Multiverse Corebook Maths
I wrote many articles on the playtest Maths. Short version – it didn’t work. Even by 1.2 the maths was still bust. Here’s an example of the Melee table from 1.0. The numbers are the target you need to roll to hit a character. There are so few values that can actually be rolled on […]
Marvel Multiverse 1.2 Characters Fight and Ranged Tables
A couple of people asked to see tables including ALL the 1.2 characters, so here we go. This takes the corebook characters and adds 3 new heroes and the 4 villains we have seen. Fight/Might Overall we still have 50% of values falling within realistic rolls, so that’s not bad. the table is still throwing […]
Marvel Multiverse RPG 1.2 update Maths
So we got big changes in update 1.2, no more archetypes or tables and ranks reduced from 0-25 to 1-6. Hopefully this should improve the maths problems. First a reminder of the dice probabilities… score cum cum% specific 3 0 216 100.00% 0.00% 4 1 216 100.00% 0.46% 5 3 215 99.54% 1.39% 6 6 […]
Marvel Multiverse Rules Update 7/11
So a rules update dropped yesterday with some new characters (separate post) and 3 rules changes. Damage Instead of 3d6 + Rank modifier + ability we now do this : Multiply the Marvel Die by your rank and add ability If it’s a Fantastic result…you can deal knockback I’m not sure why this rule changed. […]
Marvel Multiverse RPG : Sabretooth shows us the game is still broken
So Marvel reached out and posted to the reddit Hello Marvelites of reddit! In case you don’t know us, we’re the official Marvel reddit account (hi!). We wanted to thank you all for playtesting the Marvel Multiverse RPG—your feedback has been so important as we continue to create the best game possible for you, the […]
Marvel Multiverse – A Reminder of the maths problems
In case there are newcomers to the game or people have forgotten the d616 system has some issues with the maths and I thought I would go over it again. Now there is nothing wrong with a 3d6 system, other games use it, but it has a very narrow operating window. Let’s compare to a […]
Is Marvel Multiverse RPG DOA?
Prompted by this video by Andrew C/Forever DM/Bear I thought would answer it with another question – Is the game dead already? Andrew is concerned that there is a lot less chatter about the game. And he’s right. I’ve gone from posting to daily to throwing out the odd character.I’m not doing any analysis or […]
Marvel Multiverse RPG : Ironheart
I’ve just finished reading Invincible IronMan and Ironheart so here is Riri Williams herself: I’ve gone for Rank 10 because any lower and I’d be struggling to get her right and she isn’t more than 10. Genius because…she is! Scientist as she’s not actually a student. And various traits to represent her backing and help. […]
Marvel Multiverse RPG – Taskmaster
In a recent conversation I said we need more villains, so here’s one: He’s pretty awkward to do with 3 powersets as he can also use a bow and potentially firearms, but I figured he can just do those with a ranged attack so I went with the main powers. I could also have gone […]
MMV RPG – another alternative dice roll
So I looked as “838” as an alternative to 616 here, but it didn’t really make much difference. And the more I look at these numbers the more I think, a d20 would just be better. But then I lose my Marvel die. So what If I roll a Marvel die and a d20? I’ve […]
MMV RPG Encounter Spidey Vs Rhino
Okay, so last time out we saw Spidey get pulped by Hulk (here). Like literally, one more squeeze by Hulk and spidey goes pop. But then I made Rhino for a more even fight. Rhino has stolen a cash machine (ATM) and is making his escape. The Police arrive. Rhino gets 8 on initiative, Police […]
Marvel MV RPG – The Rhino
Having smashed spidey with Hulk I thought maybe I should do a more spider-man level opponent. So, Rhino! I started him at rank 10 but dropped to 8 as I had too many powers and ability scores. I am still doing these with the original tables because unless there is a wholesale change to different […]
Marvel MV RPG – What if there were no archetype tables?
Clearly the tables are a problem (see here), but only is the maths awful, one of the main criticisms is that the tables add loads of complexity (they don’t really, but whatever – perception, beholders etc). So why not just ditch them. No Tables character creation Standard Character creation All modifiers are equal to the […]
Marvel Multiverse RPG – Big List Of Characters v1.
So I’ve been planning this for a while. What Marvel characters can you make using the RAW, specifically the powers? This is just a list off the top of my head, and there will be plenty missing. But one simple rule – If you need a powerset that is not in the playtest book, they’re […]
Marvel Multiverse RPG – How bad are the archetype tables?
So I was posting my weekly feedback, this time focusing on Hulk and more bad maths. And I noticed how bad the tables looked. Previously I have used the characters to find flaws in the game. But a lot of the maths is coming from the tables, not the abilities. So how bad are the […]
