Editing Multiverser (section)

== Reception ==
Multiverser has been described as original and thought-provoking and has received acclaim for its ability to run multiple original campaigns in one game session.  Reviewers have been impressed with the thoroughness of the rules and the diversity of the world books, going so far as to say that the books, particularly the books of worlds, could provide valuable information even for other gaming purposes.  One reviewer contently cites the ''Appendix 3: Basic Dicing Curves'' in the rule book which explains the distribution of probabilities of various common dice rolls.<ref name="Referee's Rules" /><ref name=AlexandranRules /><ref name=AlexandrianFirstBookOfWorlds />

Critics have expressed disappointment with the complexity of the game mechanics, explaining that the depth and ubiquitous coverage causes the rules to be more cumbersome than many other tabletop RPGs; even reviewers who appreciate Multiverser's thoroughness explain that it comes with an unfortunate level of complexity.  Some say that compounded with complexity is unclear, vague, or hard to follow explanations in some places.  It has also been said that some rules laid out by the authors are unnecessary and take away from the potential quality of the game; a couple such cited rules is that the player character must be an alternate version of the player himself and that NagaWorld must be the first world a verser visits.<ref name=AlexandranRules /><ref name=ShadowSpriteReview />   The books do strongly suggest these two parameters, but they do state that they aren't definitive requirements<ref name="Referee's Rules" />—perhaps this misunderstanding stands as a testament to the complaint of ambiguity.
