I ran a few games as in-betweeners to change the mood from our 5e campaign. It's a whole other creature. You're not out to gain loot, power or leveling up. It's all about the story and the action. Yes, with all the different powers it can be daunting. It is best played with a group of role-players, not power-gamers. Especially in your fist games, if the players are ok with the narrator winging it instead of looking up the specifics of a certain powers and, the narrator can trust the players with their interpretation of their character's abilities... It's a fun game. If you want to go with the character creation and leveling up route, the Cataclysm of Kang campaign is a good start seeing as each scenario ramps up the stakes as you go... you just need to have a session zero to figure out a reason why the characters are getting more and more powerful.
This looks fun. I wish there was more time in life, it's hard enough to get a full table for my D&D group that's been together for 5 years now, we only get once a month, and half those times, someone ends up with a conflict. We like telling long story campaigns, so it's hard to try other systems.
Well, I think one benefit to something like this that lends itself to short-term story telling is that you can really bust it out at any event. If 4 out of the 5 of you can come together, but you don't want to continue your D&D adventure without the missing player, just play a quick Marvel one-shot. Long term games are amazing, but sometimes just getting a slightly different mix of people together to a little short thing can be really satisfying.
also the X MEN expansion book coming in August with 256 pages . they also said a Spider Man Spiderverse expansion book is coming but didn't give a date for it's release i dont remember if said how many pages or not can't wait for them and what ever else is coming out .there are also some home brewed characters on fans sites still find out about all of them . the one problem i see with the game is how fast the products for it are coming out the game came out last August the game dice didn't come out tell October the KANG book in November the X MEN was pushed back to August but i think maybe it will have the new changing X MEN story line that are coming in July . then a couple months they told us the deadpool adventure is coming in July now too . i dont have a printer i know i am waiting to a Judge's Screen to be sold and some other stuff they also said maps are coming too can't wait to see what else is coming . you can also play the game on Demiplane and has the some of the books and what is coming , on the character sheet there is a spot for the player to write down the page the power is on and what it does what is neat . also if you want you can lower the characters ranks yourself if you want to run the 4 original at level 1 rank you can just take away some stuff from the profile and make they line up with a level rank 1 character or you could make a level rank 2 character rank 6 but a rank that high would need a good reason to booster that character that high , in the X MEN expansion is going to have a way to level up your characters rank from 1 to 6 if you want , sorry for rambling on
Mutants and Masterminds v2 is still my favorite hero rpg and I played most of them. My players really couldn't handle the math, though, so I had to use Hero Lab for easy character building. I picked this up and hope to try it out before the end of the year.
I'm in the middle of a fantasy campaign at the moment, but am looking forward to trying this as a one shot as a break from the main game. I don't think it's really build for long term games, I guess you could manage it with a bit of fiddling. But the genre lends itself well to shorter campaigns / one-shots.
Hi. As usual I just ordered the core book as a result of watching your review. I’ll try it out as a special game night with my D&D crew. I am a sucker for super heroes and have played the old marvel superheroes rpg from back in 80s. I will keep you posted in the discord once we get a few games in.
I'm still sorta new to new rpgs, and I was curious if I were to get a physical copy. Would I get a code to get the online version, or would I also need to buy the online version
Luckily these days you can find lots of people wanting to play on reddit, discord, and the official forums for the games you want to play. Then hopefully you can convert some real life friends as well!
Not yet, that I've found. You could always use something like Mythic GM to get you going with it, but since comic storylines can be fairly convoluted, it may be tough putting it together.
There are rules for how to advance and rank up gradually in the X-Men expansion. But the game isn’t about that. Not every character is going to gain more power on their adventures and aren’t necessarily looking to. Many heroes have powers that don’t change beyond the origin story where they first learned to use them, but you can simulate that by going from Rank 1 to their cap. They also won’t all go to Rank 6. It just doesn’t fit every character concept. Use the narrative to describe how they gain experience and grow as characters, beyond their skills and powers. Have them use the powers they have in new and unique ways. They are often general enough to leave room for creative interpretation.
Thanks for the concise intro I only had to watch 30 seconds to confirm what I already suspected about yet another FLOP marvel RPG. Thanks much for saving my time _and_ my money.

So far I really like this game. Haven’t gotten to actually play but the rules seem solid and character creation is a lot of fun…
Time to get some friends over, mate! The hardest part about any RPG is getting people into the room on any given night to play!
Such a great review/overview. Thank you!

That’s my thought as well. Great for short, epic adventures which can be a great palette cleanser.
@@TheGallantGoblin "palette cleanser" is the perfect description of it. That should be a genre in and of itself! 😄
What's the best super hero rpg out now? This one seems just ok
Do you know Mutants and Masterminds? I love It!
Been wanting to check it out for ages!
@@TheGallantGoblin I recomend It, it is amazing 👍
@@andreacavalli4290 I tried to read it, got immediately overwhelmed.

any update?
Looking forward to hearing about it!
I've been itching for a super hero game, will either pick up this or Longshot City.
I'm still sorta new to new rpgs, and I was curious if I were to get a physical copy. Would I get a code to get the online version, or would I also need to buy the online version
you need to buy the online version
I would put RUclipsr under the Entertainer profession personally...
That's fair!
ive always wanted to play an RPG, but i've never had any friends that actually play it.
Luckily these days you can find lots of people wanting to play on reddit, discord, and the official forums for the games you want to play. Then hopefully you can convert some real life friends as well!
Are there any supplements for solo play for this system?
Not that I’m aware of, but that’s a fantastic idea. There’s some discussion about solo sessions on the subreddit.
Not yet, that I've found. You could always use something like Mythic GM to get you going with it, but since comic storylines can be fairly convoluted, it may be tough putting it together.
@@Hugh839good idea! I have mythic gm and a couple other tools so I’m sure I could make it work!
@@TheGallantGoblin I’ve always wanted to roleplay a superhero’s origin story so I think solo play with something like mythic GM would be a lot of fun!
Sounds like a splendid idea! The radiance engine could work too perhaps: ruclips.net/video/Og9oXWR78XQ/видео.htmlsi=Mpn8bAfcqqTx-cye
I wish I had ppl to play this with
Join some discord groups. They’ll play with you online!
no exp or leveling is a huge mis-step
It is something they seem to be working on. But yeah, it’s unusual to have an RPG without a progression system.
There are rules for how to advance and rank up gradually in the X-Men expansion. But the game isn’t about that. Not every character is going to gain more power on their adventures and aren’t necessarily looking to. Many heroes have powers that don’t change beyond the origin story where they first learned to use them, but you can simulate that by going from Rank 1 to their cap. They also won’t all go to Rank 6.

Ha! Well happy to be of assistance!
Flop? It's a good game... to each their own I guess
