The Merc With A Mouth Rolls For Initiative In ‘Deadpool Role-Plays The Marvel Universe,’ A New One-Shot For The Marvel Multiverse RPG

Share This Post

This summer, Deadpool crashes into the Marvel Multiverse Role-Playing Game with his very own playable adventure! Announced today by IGN, Deadpool Role-Plays the Marvel Universe is the first comic-sized, one-shot adventure for Marvel’s fan-favorite role-playing game. 

The upcoming book includes a comic story lead-in by Cullen Bunn (Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe), a full-fledged standalone RPG adventure, and new full character profiles. Readers can play as Deadpool and his team – or use their own characters – in a fourth-wall breaking adventure right out of Marvel’s comics!

This new adventure book is meant to be used in conjunction with the hit Marvel Multiverse Role-Playing Game hard cover. The Marvel Multiverse Role-Playing Game launched in August 2023, and has since taken the tabletop gaming community by storm. The book garnered accolades including being a featured game on The McElroy Family’s The Adventure Zone podcast,named the Best of GenCon 2023 by Gaming Trend, and has been played live several times by multiple actual play podcasts.

The Core Rulebook and Marvel Multiverse Role-Playing Game: The Cataclysm of Kang are both available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Roll20, Demiplane, Target and wherever books are sold. For more info check out marvel.com/rpg.
