Merton McSnurtle, was an ordinary turtle from Earth-C who became subject of a bet between Prince Highness, the governor of all things good, and Prince Lowness, the overseer of all things evil. To decide an argument about human corruptibility, the Princes bestowed superpowers on McSnurtle. Since McSnurtle was too lazy to give in to temptation, Prince Highness won the...

In this game, it is going to be assumed that damage is lethal. If you want to do non-lethal damage, you must declare so.   Lethal damage inflicts additional conditions on failed resistance checks, as follows: Failure (3 degrees): In addition to being staggered, the target is disabled. Failure (4...

Thought I'd share this piece with people here.   You can keep in touch with me on Facebook by liking the Vigilance Press group, or looking for me, James Dawsey!   This piece of artwork is the character "HeadCase" from our upcoming Mutants and Masterminds product: "SixGun"  

Mutants and Masterminds creator Steve Kenson and Pop Culture Pro Christopher McGlothlin join me for a Spoiler-iffic review of The Avengers movie! We discuss the film in terms of roleplaying games, particularly the Mutants and Masterminds RPG.   Tune in and let me know what you think!

It was suggested by Derek Hand that we co-opt the FATE system's use of shared backgrounds ala "Spirt of the Century" for this game, and I think that's a great idea. Its a cooperative writing, round robin exercise, but it has the benefit of giving us links between PCs before...

My name is John and I am a Librarian living in Columbus, Ohio. I started playing RPGs in 2004 with Dungeons and Dragons 3.5. But my true love has always been superheroes, specifically DC Comics. My favorite game is DC Adventures (Mutants & Masterminds). I also enjoy bicycling, trying new foods, sleeping, playing the drums, spending time with my girlfriend,...

Started playing when I was twelve with AD&D, and have been trying out different systems ever since. Moved to a new area, and games have become few and far between for me. Looking for people to game with, and I'm willing to try out new systems.

Games I like: Love the superhero genre, also like urban fantasy, and am generally willing to try anything. Systems I am familiar with: Wild talents, world of darkness, Dresden files, Reign, Rogue Trader, and I am sure there are others as well. Systems I am learning: Traveller and Savage worlds, but am willing to learn anything if it interests me....

I've been gaming since the mid 80's.  In 1992, I formed The Adventurers Guild, a gaming club at Vermont Technical College, where I went to school for Computer Engineering (yes, that includes programming).  The club quickly grew to the largest club on campus (granted it was a small campus, but we had 30+ members) with large weekend long adventures and...

I've been gaming since 5th grade, which is a long time ago now. Roleplaying is as much of a creative outlet for me as it is a social event, so I lean toward games which focus on story and character. I'm not particularly attached to systems so much as genres or settings, but I like to think I'm also fairly...

My name's John Jessop and I'm a long time GM of various roleplaying systems including D&D 3.5, D&D 4th edition, Shadowrun, Mutants and Masterminds, and the New World of Darkness. I enjoy a wide variety of game styles, and am currently working on developing my own fantasy RPG called Shapers.
