Marvel might have something
Marvel Universe Playtest feels a bit unnecessary as a physical book for sale as the overall base game is so simple and there is no huge amount of meat here especially in the listing of powers. But it is some good artwork and a little bit of flare that makes the 9.99 price well worth the purchase.Where this book shines is how well things work because its rules and mechanics are simplified and makes players more available to focus on the story and roleplay. This also translates to the DM as the rules are simple to remember so more focus on telling a story and designing play sessions a bit easier as well. Now since this isn’t the final product these benefits could change as many different introductions of powers and the rules needed that comes with them can muck up the game down the road, but as a sample of things to come it feels real promising. Not to discourage more powers as this game needs them all. I just hope they get as much balancing as possible to not wreck the experience or what they’ve built so far.Last critique I have for the game is structure of the layout and organizing the final book better as certain areas and wording with rule explanation felt or read as confusing and require rereading or constant page turning to find the final verdictIn conclusion I found Marvel Universe Playtest Rulebook to be a positive promise of things to come to the TTRPG world. Could have been a cheaper or free PDF Playtest but once I got it in my hands I’m proud of my purchase with its comic book feel and colorful art! Looking for a superhero system to try out outside of Mutant and Masterminds or maybe combine with a rich lore of Marvel then this book might be for you.
