I just read the Mutants & Masterminds entry on wikipedia and it does sound pretty fantastic. I'll have to see if I can track down some rulebooks at my local store. Does anybody have any suggestions on which books would be critical to start out with? (A core set, or something similar?)

Well, yeah - let us call it 'Act I: The Accused' - part of a much larger play. Thanks for the feedback, Shay, and I dearly hope to see more of Thorn in 'Act II: The Awakened.' Don't tell the other players, but she was one of my most favorite characters to ever work with. That's right, folks...

Seeing Muzdum leave Daran unprotected, two of the psionic adepts manage to race up the face of the pyramid, their hands crackling with purple flame, and together, they shove Daran back with an overwhelming mind blast. Their wounded ally stands roughly, cradling his bloodied stomach, and claims...

Okay, everyone, this is the end of Chapter 1. Congratulations on a great campaign. I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did. If you'd like to continue the story, please let me know. I'll be setting up new threads for Chapter 2 in a few weeks or so, and any of you who wish to play will be...

The Death of the Accused The end is here. In your bones, in your broken body, you feel it. Your blood drains into the worn floorboards of The Fancy Drake. Your memories cease to whisper to you. In this, you are not alone. Your allies lay near you. Squeal, the warforged barbarian, seeking his...

While Ja'Cart crouches among the raiders, they all stab viciously at him, but his incredible reflexes allow him to take only minimal damage from the attacks. However, the raiders manage to shove the thri-kreen into the pair of templars at the base of the pyramid. The templars attack Ja'Cart as...

Great work, everyone. I'll update with the Raiders' and Templars' turn either later today or sometime tomorrow. Thursdays are quite hectic for me. EDIT: Update posted. Daran then Muzdum, go!!!!! EDIT 2: Daran and Muzdum have gone. Ja'Cart then Jalaan, go!!!! EDIT 3: Back to Daran then Muzdum...

I'll second (or third or whatever) my wish for a great superhero game. I've tried the HERO system, and it just didn't do it for me. Any suggestions on what would be the best system for such a game?

Nice one, Vertexx! Since the "Champions" are out, it's Jalaan's turn!

After watching Korg force the overseer's mercy, Kesh looks down. He wraps his bony fingers around the cart's handle again, prepared to press back into the darkness to fill his empty cart. "Another one got away," Kesh mumbles almost silently. "But the fat one will not haunt my dreams. He's too...

VV: No, I don't believe so. According to my interpretation, it wouldn't count as a grab attack - instead, it's an attack that grabs as part of the whole attack. Does that make sense? To everyone: This is fun! Just so you know, I'm having a blast with this so far. Don't worry. I'll throw some...

Jalaan waves a thread of betrayal through the mind of one of the templars, and that templar lashes out with his blade, striking a nearby raider. The raiders see themselves as attacked by the templars, and a raiders prepare to ambush the templars as they rush up the pyramid. Jalaan's target...

Sorry for the confusion, everyone. I'm sorry to have glazed over those move actions. The map is being updated. WD: Since Muzdum's move made A1's attack against Jalaan & Muzdum, somewhat less simple, I'll have Jalaan still take the damage (10) but not be knocked prone.

It's funny you should mention that generation gap, because I've noticed myself acting more like an "old man" than a college kid lately. I'm usually in bed by 11, for instance, and I don't hang out with my rowdier friends. As far as 3rd edition goes, it's pretty wonderful. It's the first RPG I...
