r/MarvelMultiverseRPG

I started running a campaign for some friends from work last year and the campaign is still going now. I have a few more friends from work who are interested in joining. They’ve never played before, and one has never played a TTRPG before either.

An idea that came to me, instead of immediately dropping them into the established campaign, is to run a one-shot with them and the rest of the group, just so they can get a handle of the game and the mechanics. Should I do that or should I just immediately get them involved in the ongoing campaign?

If do run a one-shot, should I just do one of the premade ones or should I come up with an original one?

Has anyone tried creating custom power sets or do you usually just try to make an established power from the books fit into your power theme? Example, I want to create a hero who can manipulate gravity in order to become more agile (by making himself lighter), able to pick up and toss heavy objects, and generate a field of heightened or lessened gravity to immobilize nearby foes (crushing them to the ground or suspending them in the air).

In Demiplane I pretty much just have to pick existing powers and translate them into his power theme.
EXAMPLE: For my hero, Vector, I took the following Power-sets: Elemental Control-Force, Super-Strength, Telekinetics and Martial Arts
To leap higher and further like Spiderman, I take Leap and increase his agility ability score.
To hit harder and throw villains when they are weightless, I have Clobber, Smash, Focused Strike
To make a field of high gravity, Ground Shaking Smash
To become weightless I took Levitate
To Immobilize a foe or alter their point of gravity, Force Grab / Push
I use Force Sphere to make a protective sphere that creates hyper-gravity to lessen or negate damage from projectiles
etc...

I’ve never actually played a TTRPG before but I’ve been wanting to for a while now, and Marvel Multiverse RPG feels like the perfect way to finally dive in. I’ve already got two character ideas brewing so the motivation is definitely there lol.
If anyone is running a game or putting a group together and has room for an enthusiastic newcomer, I’d love to get involved. I’m down to play online Discord, Roll20, whatever works for the group. Just shoot me a message and let’s make it happen!

As the title says. I'm debating whether or not to put points in telepathic blast so I have an offensive option, or to rely on my connections and/or authority (i have extra occupation: leader/military) to get a weapon. Would authority or military connections be an acceptable excuse to start with, say, a laser rifle? Or is there some other way that starting equipment is determined? Thanks in advance.

From Primal's marvel wiki page:

>Hyper-instincts: He is able to find solutions to any of civilization's problems that he faces given the right motivation. Place him near a fridge he will eat what will keep him alive and most likely stay in top physical form. Place him in a court room and he will develop the intellect and eloquence to win a trial.

I'm interested in building a character who is mentally adaptable to a superhuman degree, able to instantly and automatically analyze and understand any environment or situation and how to use it to her advantage. However, there doesn't appear to be an equivalent power in the core rulebook. I don't technically have a game to play in yet, but I want to be prepared in case I do, so I'm starting at rank 1. Any suggestions?

Clobber - a successful attack deals regular damage. On a fantastic success, it's double damage.

So......how does Clobber differentiate from a normal melee attack? Don't they both deal regular damage?

Clearly, I'm missing something.

Just some fun asides

I'm playing with very close friends so alot of this is them being hooligans as I am their forever dm.

1. our mutant assassin is in a very toxic yaoi relationship with Selene so I know horrible things are going to happen for everyone. Probably involving a one way ticket down a volcano

2. Our time displaced hero is a Tasmanian Abariginal that was experemented on by the Tasmanian shadow government and made into the Vindicada (A Secada themed super soldier i cant escape bug heros) and has awoken from from one her long slumbers is still catching up on things since she last was awake hangs out with captain america in a support group way.

3. we have a young spirit of vengeance who's whole personality is Weed and CKY videos as he's the the ghost rider on a skate board. Buys Weed from Magik because she has that "dank ass krakoan pack that shit cures cancer and shit." Possibly deeply in love with nova we will see how that works out.

4. We have a devil lawyer named devil advocate who his player is about to start law school so play what you know friend

5. The character who is a ex mob heavy turned superhero is a God damn ray of sunshine and is the heart of this group already was also swindled by Johnny storm at one of Things poker nights and is possible out $25,000

6. It always comes back to punching Nazis which yes it does fuck Nazis

7. Squirrel Girl was surprisingly not hit on but then again she was only in a background set up scene for a characters backstory but we do know she makes a ok collage level science lab partner along with Miles Ty and Tandy

8. Valerie Cooper had a conversation with a talking alien cow

9. one of my players is a talking alien cow who heals people with his hyper pasteurized super peptoid dangerously fortified milk (it's a barnyard situation you understand.)

10. one of my players is essentially a sorcerer kamen rider and now is a proud sponsor of the Strange Academy as a reputable arcane and alchemical supplier to the school for all the students.

Hi all. Stupid question time. I'm planning an adventure and have a scene where my players have to catch a small critter with Super Speed 1. What kind of speed checks would you use to do this?

Does anyone else use Foundry VTT for playing the game?

The most recent update for v14 broke the powers that influence dmg multipliers and dmg reduction.

I've tried fixing it (I think the strings that need to be modified were changed) but can't figure it out. Did anyone manage to do fix this?
