Green Ronin Announces M&M 3rd Edition

The press release answers one of my questions about whether M&M and the new DC RPG will be compatible. They will both be using the 3rd edition version of M&M.

I'm looking forward to seeing this, and I seriously hope Ultimate Power is incorporated into the main rules as opposed to being a seperate book.

Steve Kenson has confirmed that the game will still use only a d20: The Atomic Think Tank; Mutants and Masterminds 3rd Edition Announced

 

[Piratecat]

Damn it. I'm just going to give Green Ronin all my money, aren't I?

And it'll be worth it!

 

[Jeff Wilder]

Gah! I just bought five or six Second Edition books! I even found a copy of Ultimate Power!

Is Steve Kenson still in control?

Any statements on how backwards compatible with Second Edition?

Any speculation on what the most major changes will be?

I hope they seriously kick up the art. 1st ed had some of the best looking super hero RPG books period. The second ed art was all over the place from awesome to that shouldn't be there.

 

[Fifth Element]

Three editions of a game in 8 years?

 

[Henry]

Veeery tempting. I don't play much M&M lately, and I'll have to wait for the internet verdict to see if it's something I'll want just yet.

 

[Eridanis]

I'm glad they're doing this. Hopefully DC Adventures will bring in some new RPG blood, so having a fresh rulebook on the shelf next to it makes a lot of sense.

I bought the 1E rulebook and never played, and bought the 2E rulebook and never played*. Reason tells me I shouldn't make it a trifecta, but I'm adding it to my "forthcoming goodies" wishlist anyway.

*Except for that one time playing in an awesome** Piratecat game at GenCon. But it was Indianapolis, and we were young. How was I to know?

**Is there any other kind?

 

[ProtoClone]

Cool...but I have yet to play any of the editions.

Hopefully this new edition will be something that doesn't need a purchase for those unable to make one and can be handled with a .pdf of what has changed.
