Free League Publishing, who already have ALIEN RPG, the Blade Runner RPG, Mutant: Year Zero, Dragonbane and Robert Kirkman’s The Walking Dead Universe RPG, have announced the Invincible Superhero Roleplaying.
Invincible by Robert Kirkman (The Walking Dead), Cory Walker, and Ryan Ottley is a comic about a teen developing into a superhero. It’s also a series on Prime.
Tabletop RPG vets will recognise the designer of the TTRPG. Adam Bradford founded D&D Beyond and has been a producer on D&D, Cortex Prime as well as Marvel. He is joined by Tomas Harenstam, a co-founder of Free League of Publishing and lead designer of the aforementioned ALIEN, the Blade Runner RPG, Mutant: Year Zero, and Dragonbane games.
Free League will, of course, take the project to Kickstarter. It’ll likely smash targets and produce both the planned Core Rulebook and Starter Set.
Cory Walker and Ryan Ottley from the Invincible team will provide illustrations, and Johan Nohr (Mork Borg) will do graphic design.
Adam Bradford told the press;
Invincible is my favorite comic series, and I’ve wanted to play in this universe for many years. The way the story unfolds in a sprawling saga over the course of 144 issues – without endless retconning – lends itself particularly well to tabletop roleplaying, and I can’t wait for fans to experience their own superhero stories with the game”
Free League’s Tomas Härenstam added;
One of my very first tabletop roleplaying games was the old Marvel Superheroes by TSR, and making a superhero RPG has been a lifelong dream. I think the genre, and Invincible’s more grounded and visceral take on it, is a great fit for the Year Zero Engine game mechanics,”
