You Are (Not) Deadpool: A Marvel: Multiverse Missions Adventure Gamebook

Product Information

Certainly you have more to try and keep track of, with a starting score for three attributes, a story that lets you gain more (especially CHAOS, there's lots of CHAOS if you follow the right paths), an inventory that can only reach five items before you have to scrub or use one, and places where dice impact on the story in different ways compared to how mercenary, persuasive or battle-hungry you may be at any one time. Fans of narrative-driven games such as TellTale Games’ The Walking Dead or reaching further back, the Monkey Island series, will absolutely love this book. Good-hearted mischief spirals into a sinister plot full of impenetrable bank vaults, crime lords stroking their (lack of) mustaches in very evil ways, and an assortment of offensively stylish suits that are begging to be blown up, Deadpool discovers his choices are no longer his own they're yours! It is probably the most unboring reading experience you're likely to have all year, and yes, it’s absolutely fine to keep reliving the story until you get the ending you want… just so long as you don’t cheat along the way. I used to wait with anticipation for the Scholastic faires in hope that one of the reprints after Wizards got the rights would be there, along with any other goodies I could find.

Thanks so much to Aconyte and NetGalley for allowing me to read (play) and review an eARC of You Are (Not) Deadpool. Miller went on to say about Reynolds, “It’s weird that he hates me,” before describing a tense moment during filming that he claims involved the star riffing as the acerbic Deadpool: “We had a really weird moment on Deadpool where he said, ‘Let’s do one more take. Miller, known for films including Cloverfield and Ready Player One, has dealt with his own negative headlines. There are some fun additions to the general solo roleplaying game book here and there as well which truly fit in with the chaotic Deadpool and this delightful game.

Like every quest book, this book is filled with secret clues and he's the thing you're going to need a paper, a pen, and a dice before you get started.

You are (not) Deadpool places you in the unenviable position as Deadpool’s latest (disposable) sidekick in an adventure to track down some dangerous alien weapons flooding the streets of New York. It really encompasses everything from Deadpool's signature sarcasm to Marvel lore, all in the form of a choose-your-own-adventure style book that also includes some dice, stats, and inventory elements (but more on that in the book's introductions, which you really should read! Dedopulos draws from the finest conventions of the present day Marvel universe alongside painting a vivid and unmistakable portrayal of Mr Deadpool himself, a character who specialises in weaving as much trouble and collateral damage as is humanly possible. Not sure whether this was because I used the bonus points awarded for reading the introduction, or whether the game isn’t quite balanced.Perhaps it's because I have only seen the junior examples of this genre over the last few years, but perhaps it's because a helluva lot of work has been put into this, but I found this really quite exemplary for its kind, and a very, very engaging gamebook. He really likes the book, which is similar to the old "choose your own adventure" style book with multiple outcomes depending on the choices you make. You, yes YOU, team up or rather are forced by Deadpool to defeat predictability through mini-games and puzzles. Simply put I couldn’t find someone to play D and D in my younger years and those books scratched that itch. With the aid of a six-sided dice, your character must forge a path across an intricate timeline where skill and measures of luck will determine whether your story ending is filled with happiness, untimely despair, or a great number of permutations in between.

The cover was of hin standing in the middle, with defeated heroes lying about around him, and he's smiling and goes "Who, me?I know it’s going to eat hours away of my free time, whether it be replying the same route, choosing something different, altering stats the replayability is endless (almost) and when you have someone as fun as Deadpool by your side you know you can never get bored! At some points, you'll have to roll one or more d6 (for you non-gamers, that's a regular die) and add a stat to it to determine the outcome of the situation. This achieves a lot more fluidity why playing, and makes the player focus on having fun and trying to successfully contain the antics of Deadpool.

A character known for breaking the fourth wall both in the comics and on the big screen, it was completely in character for Deadpool to spend so much time in You Are (Not) Deadpool talking directly to the reader and even relying on your opinion and knowledge throughout the story. This can include Chaos ( will you really press that Red Button while in the middle of Central Park ), Spore seeded ( ouch ) or Flush ( no comment ). Grab the book for road trips, dentist appointment, and visits to the DMV and try not to laugh too hard.TIM DEDOPULOS is the author of more than 200 titles, including both original and tie-in SFF and horror fiction, as well as role-playing games, books of puzzles, and a wide range of non-fiction works.
