Viltrumites, androids, and a whole lot more await you in the Invincible RPG, available now on DriveThruRPG.
Coinciding with Gen Con 2026, the Invincible RPG, which takes place in the world of the hit graphic novel and animated series of the same name, is available now on DriveThruRPG. As of today, you can snag a PDF and create your own Viltrumite, superpowered human, or whatever else you can think of using a surprisingly deep and, uh, visceral take on the Year Zero Engine. Let’s check it out.
Invincible RPG – Play It TodayWe are in a new golden era for superhero RPGs right now. There’s a new edition of Masks on the way, as well as a new Mutants & Masterminds, there’s a Justice League RPG in the works. And, just as an interest in vampires rises with social anxiety, so too, I think does the drive to be heroic. Which you can do in spades in the new Invincible RPG.
What I love is that it doesn’t mess around. This is the Year Zero Engine put through its paces. If you’ve played any of Free League’s big RPGs, you know the deal. If you haven’t, it’s a flexible, D6 dice pool system that incentivizes both the personal and the powerful. In Tales from the Loop, for example, you play as children who need to both investigate supernatural sci-fi mysteries, but also talk to their parents.
That same dynamic feeds extremely well into Invincible, which, sure, is all about punching someone into orbit so hard that even the wind up draws you in. But it’s also about the family drama that led to love, ultimately, being the only thing that stopped a nigh-all-powerful society of conquerors. Well, love and Mark getting beat to hell and back again. But you know, it was because of the love that he could do it.
“In this action-packed storytelling experience, you and your friends take on the role of superheroes in your own corner of the Invincible universe – or any superhero setting of your own choosing.
You might be a wisecracking speedster, a super-genius inventor, a grizzled vigilante, a shape-shifting alien, or a high-flying sumbol of hope. Whatever you play and wherever you go, you’ll have to juggle relationships with patrols, face tough challenges and choices, and learn how to use your powers… and learn more about yourself in the process.”

And you don’t even need to wait to get your friends in on the drama. You can learn the rules, or just start playing, thanks to the included Crisis Mode, which lets you play Invincible GMless and solo. So get ready to dive into a whole other world of superheroes.
With more 60 unique superpowers, as well as boosts, talents, and other tools to customize them with. You can build the hero of your dreams, and then set out on superpowered adventures. Fight robots. Interdimensional alien invaders. The whole nine yards, the system is flexible.
But to face all that? You’d have to be…
