Absolute Overpower is a tabletop RPG played using the Marvel Multiverse RPG system. However, in this game, we’ll be following the inciting incident of Marvel Rivals, where the timestream and multiverses have been pulled out of alignment, not dissimilar from Secret Wars.
This is modeled after a previous campaign I ran called Marvel Overpower, where traditional writers are replaced with DMs who craft plots based on titles (like Avengers, Spider-Man, Black Panther, etc.), and open up the roles of their favorite Marvel superheroes to players to guide the plot. The shared continuity morphs under the guidance of the various DMs, the players, and their games. The big difference is that various versions of the same Marvel characters can exist as friend or foe, promising the most intense superpowered combat ever!
Continuity
Continuity is important to any tabletop campaign. The things that happen at the table matter. Always. However, comic continuity is a huge pain. Especially when dealing with a multiverse. So the only continuity important to Absolute Overpower is the continuity that players choose to bring with them and uncover through playing the campaign. Do you prefer the MCU version of Valkyrie? She rules. Bring her to the table. Characters can even have in their backstory “was an X-Person” and it’s not automatically assumed that they know Cyclops.
In a way, we are taking an Ultimate Marvel approach to this universe. It’s all fresh and new unless it’s important to the players behind the characters. Each player can determine what to take and what to leave with every character.
