This week, I’m heading out to Comic-Con International in sunny San Diego. Once again, Marvel is bringing me out, this time to help promote the upcoming release of the Marvel Multiverse Role-Playing Game Core Rulebook, which debuts a couple weeks after the show on August 2.
That means the game will not be on sale there. Despite that, I’ll be running quick demonstrations of it on the convention floor for a few hours a day. The actual location of these demos hasn’t been announced yet, but I will let you know the moment it happens. The demos will be first-come, first-serve — and may feature a prize for players — so stay tuned for more details.
Here’s my schedule:
Thursday, July 20
- 12:30–2 PM: Marvel Multiverse Role-Playing Game demos
- 3–5 PM: UCSD visit: I’ll be at the MAVERiC Studio at UCSD for a meet and greet with the Arthur C Clarke Center for Human Imagination and the Clarion Writers Workshop.
Friday, July 21
- 1:30–4:30 PM: Marvel Multiverse Role-Playing Game demos
- 5:30–8:30 PM: Glass Cannon Network Actual Play of Marvel Multiverse. Come over to the Omni to join me and watch the talented Glass Cannon folks + Marvel VP, Executive Editor Nick Lowe perform the first live actual play of the Marvel Multiverse Role-Playing Game.
Saturday, July 22
- 1:30–2:30 PM: Licensed & IP-Themed Tabletop Games in 2023.
- 3–6 PM: Marvel Multiverse Role-Playing Game demos
After that, I run home, panic relax recover for a week, and then head out to Gen Con for the game’s actual debut. All while I keep plugging away at the X-Men Expansion, which is slated for release in early 2024. Whew!
Anyhow, there are great things ahead for the game, and I hope to see you out there as we introduce it to the world.
