Marvel Multiverse Role-playing Game: X-men Expansion is a fantastic supplement that dives deep into the world of mutants and the iconic X-Men universe. While it can’t possibly cover every mutant or team out there, it provides everything you need to know about the key characters, allies, enemies, locations, and more. The inclusion of maps for various iconic X-Men locations is a great touch, bringing the world to life in a way that enhances gameplay.This expansion goes beyond the original X-Men, exploring groups like the Marauders, Alpha Flight, X-Force, Exiles, and alternate timelines such as Age of Apocalypse, House of M, Mutant X, X-Men Noir, and X-Men Ultimate. It’s an expansive resource that opens up endless possibilities for storytelling, whether you’re a fan of the main continuity or alternate universes.For players, there are tools to create your own unique mutant, with many new powers and origin options to customize your character. The addition of Narrative Powers is particularly intriguing, allowing players to use overwhelmingly strong abilities in more thematic and story-driven ways.This expansion is a must-have for fans of the X-Men and anyone interested in adding a mutant-filled adventure to their RPG campaigns. It’s a comprehensive and inspiring resource that captures the essence of the X-Men universe.

Roleplaying game books are expensive these days so it takes a lot for me to feel that I really got good value out of a purchase. This is the first major expansion for the current Marvel rpg and it's a great one, whether you love the mutants or not. It features a comprehensive history of the x-universe, bios and adventure hooks for the various teams, a lot of new characters statted up and ready for play, plus new powers and modified rules. The book is hefty, gorgeous, and packed with useful info.

The maps, loads of info, and character profiles alone are worth the price of this rules expansion BUT the new rules and powers will really enhance your game.The Marvel Multiverse Roleplaying Game is killing it. Highly recommend for super hero games of all kinds.

I am excited by this latest expansion pack to the MARVEL MULTIVERSE RPG. The book is loaded with useful information for players/narrators to enhance their gaming experience and play within the Marvel world of mutants. The background information is very detailed and covers the most significant "eras" and events encompassing Professor Xavier's Children of the Atom, with detailed maps and campaign specifics for recreating the X-MEN's most thrilling adventures.Be aware, gamers, that several new rules will apply across the board, which will only increase the RPG's playability. Some are cosmetic, but others are intricate, especially regarding mutant profiles and particular skill sets. I'm certain that these additional rules will apply across the board and will be continually addressed as the RPG continues to evolve. The book includes several new character profiles and updates, but mostly new details filling out the roster of mutants and the allies and adversaries, many of which haven't been released in previous modules for the MARVEL MULTIVERSE RPG.The only disappointing factor in this particular expansion is that, most recently, in Marvel Comics, the X-Men ended the "Era of Krakoa," and much of the information in this book leads to that very end but not beyond it. Gamers wanting to rise "From the Ashes" will have to adjust character backgrounds and move on individually, or else play within the confines of the timeline exhibited inside the latest tome. It's up to you!

Product arrived in good order, no damage or issues. Great game system, fun to play.

So many ways to play... from a student at Xavier's to the post-Krakoan age, and everything in between.And not just superficial changes. Every chapter brings a different style of play - with suggested plot lines, villains, story hooks, rosters for new iterations of the team. The game comes alive brand new again and again.The X-men.Mutant-hunting X-Factor.Havok's government X-Factor.X-Factor Investigations.The X-Factor of the Krakoan Age.New Mutants.X-Terminators.Cable's X-Force.Domino's X-Force.Black Ops X-Force.Psylocke's Uncanny X-Force.Krakoa's X-Force.The Omega Gang.The Corsairs.Generation X.Hellions.Marauders (Sinister's).Krakoan Marauders.Alpha Flight (each iteration).The Exiles.X-teams of alt realities.Detailed maps of the Marauder, Cavern-X, The Boneyards, Xavier's School, Mutant Town, Krakoa, and more.New rules for teams and individual players such as "JustPassin' Thru, Bub.. Need a hand?" which allows a friendly Wolverine to join the party for one piece of the story.A lot of of fun packed into this book. Honestly my favorite expansion of any licensed Marvel role-playing system ever.

I love this game and you can tell Matt Forbeck has a passion for both marvel and TTRPG's. The X-men expansion is a wealth of knowledge and brings so much to the table! (pun intended). Are there characters missing from the book? yes, but it would be a tall task to include every mutant and convert them to pre made sheets and put it all into one book. Most of the ones "missing" are in the core book needed to play this game. Between the two books the main mutants can be found! The effort put into the system and this book and the core book gives me hope for the future of this game.
