Godzilla Stomps Into the Marvel Multiverse Role-Playing Game

Marvel's superhero RPG is about to have a very large problem. Marvel Multiverse Role-Playing Game: Godzilla is a sourcebook built around a question every group eventually asks: what happens when the thing you are fighting is bigger than the building you are standing on?

The answer is new rules and maps for kaiju-sized battles, plus profiles for Godzilla and his monstrous rivals, from Mothra to Fin Fang Foom. That roster is the fun part. ICv2's write-up describes profiles of various kaiju and Marvel monsters, so this is a book where the two rosters share the same appendix, which is the sort of thing a group will happily argue about for a whole evening before anyone rolls a die.

Kaiju rules also scratch a specific tabletop itch. Fighting a giant monster in most systems means an enormous pile of hit points and not much else. A book that treats scale as a mechanic rather than a number is worth a look even if Godzilla himself never shows up at your table.

It is written by d616 System co-creator Matt Forbeck, with Marty Forbeck credited alongside him, and it carries an all-new comic story written by Pallie Paul Allor and drawn by Ig Guara. Penguin Random House lists it at 64 pages and $14.99, arriving 17 November 2026 under Marvel's Marvel Universe imprint. That is a slim, cheap add-on rather than a big hardback, which suits what it is: one bolt-on chapter of chaos, not a new campaign setting.

If you have not tried the game, the Marvel Multiverse Role-Playing Game runs on the d616 System, and Marvel's own pitch is blunt about the barrier to entry. All you need is the book, three six-sided dice and a group of friends. Find one near you if the last bit is the problem.
