CAGE DROID (Mutants & Masterminds 3rd edition build)

Back in 2013 (a decade ago? Yikes!), I produced a piece of art for a "Cage Golem." This was done for a PF1e third-party product called Monster Menagerie: Construct Companion by Rogue Genius Games. You can check it out here.



Last year, one of my Patreon supporters asked me to draw a scene featuring several of their OCs in a combat against a "super-villain" robot version of this cage golem. These OCs are based on their personal campaign set in my Super Powered Legends universe.

To this end, I illustrated this battle with the "cage droid."


Not too bad for a re-design!

Inspired by this art, I produced a M&M3e build for the cage droid, which I am sharing here for you all...

Transformers One Sourcebook!

Image
Renegade Games Studios just announced the preorder release of the Transformers One rpg sourcebook . https://renegadegamestudios.com/transformers-roleplaying-game-transformers-one-sourcebook I finally get to discuss this project, as I have been under an NDA for the last several months.  Only a week after I originally saw the film, I was contacted by Ben Heisler from Renegade Games Studios asking about my interest in doing some freelance writing for the TF rpg. I could not say "yes" fast enough. Transformers has always been my bag, since I discovered them. I was the perfect age and the absolute target demographic when they were released  in 1984. I was 7 years old and looking for a toy series to follow, as I was forbidden from following my original interest: Masters of the Universe. I had religiously-strict parents, the Satanic panic of the 80s was in full sing, and MOTU had magical and supernatural themes to it, making the show a "no-no" in terms of my being allowed ...

Eventually, Cobra learns of a powerful device being held in secret by GIJoe forces within a hidden facility under the Hoover Dam.

Knowing full well the importance of the mission's success, Soundwave immediately dispatches the elite Seeker trio of Seekers: Starscream, Skywarp, and Thundercracker, alongside the Combaticons to serve as Special Forces back-up; all of whom arrive within minutes. Al...

Fastball Special (Mutants & Masterminds 3rd edition)

Image
In Marvel Comics, there are few combat maneuvers as noteworthy as The Fastball Special . This is a combo-maneuver that requires the use of two teammates skilled in working alongside each other. One of the teammates (the "pitcher") must have superhuman strength, while the second (the "ball") requires some form of exceptional melee attack and not a small amount of damage resistance.  The Fastball Special was originated by the X-Men Colossus and Wolverine, and featured Colossus using his super-strength to pick up Wolverine and throw him deep into the ranks of the villains or high up towards flying enemies. Once thrown, Wolverine, stretches himself out to be as aerodynamic as possible, and extends his claws so they are what the enemies first encounter as he slams into a foe. Wolverine's claws, combined with the momentum of Colossus' superhuman strength resulted in numerous destroyed Sentinel robots. Thankfully, Wolverine survives being thrown like this, due to h...
