“Invincible RPG is Coming – And It’s About to Change Superhero Tabletop Games Forever!”
Superhero fans and tabletop role-playing enthusiasts, brace yourselves—because Free League Publishing is bringing the world of Invincible to life in an all-new TTRPG! If you’ve ever dreamed of balancing high school, family drama, and saving the world from super-powered threats (sometimes even your own dad), Invincible – Superhero Roleplaying is about to make that dream a reality.
From Comics and Screens to Your Tabletop
The critically acclaimed Invincible comic book series, created by Robert Kirkman with artists Cory Walker and Ryan Ottley, has already made a massive impact—first in print, then as a smash-hit Amazon Prime animated series. Now, it’s leaping into the world of tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs), thanks to Free League Publishing in partnership with Skybound Entertainment. This means fans will get to experience the thrilling, high-stakes action of Invincible firsthand, complete with all the brutal battles, shocking twists, and heartfelt moments that make the franchise so unique.
Super-Powered Talent Behind the Scenes
This isn’t just another RPG adaptation—it’s being crafted by some of the biggest names in the tabletop industry. Adam Bradford, founder of D&D Beyond and a veteran of Dungeons & Dragons, Marvel, and Cortex Prime systems, is teaming up with Free League co-founder Tomas Härenstam (Alien RPG, Blade Runner RPG) to develop the game using the highly adaptable Year Zero Engine.
Härenstam, who has always dreamed of creating a superhero RPG, believes Invincible’s “grounded and visceral” take on the genre is the perfect fit for the Year Zero Engine’s mechanics. Expect an experience that lets you navigate the chaos of being both a hero and an everyday person—because what’s the point of super strength if you can’t keep your social life from imploding?
Balancing Superheroics and Everyday Life
One of the standout mechanics in Invincible – Superhero Roleplaying is its focus on both action and social dynamics. According to Bradford, players will juggle explosive battles against supervillains while also managing personal relationships, school, work, and the daily pressures of being human. These social interactions are more than just flavor text—they’re essential to the game’s progression. Between fights, characters will have “downtime” scenes where they recover, develop relationships, and face real-world consequences for their heroic (or reckless) actions.
In short, the game isn’t just about throwing punches—it’s about the tension between the mundane and the extraordinary. Think of it as Spider-Man meets The Boys, but with Invincible’s signature twists and turns.
A Visual Feast with Classic and New Art
Players won’t just be diving into a well-crafted game system—they’ll also be treated to incredible visuals. The core rulebook and starter set will feature artwork from Invincible’s original artists, Walker and Ottley, alongside brand-new illustrations designed to capture the world’s gritty, dynamic style. If you’ve ever wanted to see your own hero standing alongside Invincible, Atom Eve, or Omni-Man, this is your chance.
Coming to Kickstarter Soon!
Eager to get your hands on Invincible – Superhero Roleplaying? The game is set to launch on Kickstarter later this year. While the exact date remains under wraps, Free League has a pre-launch page where fans can sign up for updates.
Bradford sums it up best: Invincible “contains everything we love about superhero stories—though often with surprising twists that subvert familiar tropes.” With a clear narrative arc and a world full of unpredictable surprises, it’s the perfect setting for a tabletop campaign where anything can happen.
So, whether you want to play as an original hero or step into the shoes of Invincible’s most iconic characters, this RPG promises an unforgettable experience. Stay tuned, get hyped, and prepare to unleash your inner superhero!
