Superman (My Personal M&M3e Build)

In honor of the release of the new Superman film, here is my build for the Man of Steel in my personal DC Universe campaign, using the Mutants & masterminds 3rd edition rpg.

If you enjoy this build, I encourage you to support Green Ronin in their time of need. They are the publishers of M&M and are undergoing a major legal battel to recover hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of their property (rpg books).

COMPLICATIONS

Fame: He’s Superman!

Motivation: Doing Good. Superman embodies the ideals of truth, justice, and freedom. Having lost his home world of Krypton, Superman is very protective of his adopted home of Earth.

Power Loss: Superman loses his powers under a red sun, like that of Krypton, and other effects draining or interfering with the energies of the yellow sun can deprive him of his powers.

Relationship: Clark is the adopted son of Jonathan and Martha Kent. In the past, he has had several relationships, including childhood girlfriend Lana Lang and college girlfriend Lori Lamaris. Diana and Bruce Wayne are his best friends. He is close to Jimmy Olson, Lois Lane, and Perry White.

Reputation: Superman is known as “the big blue Boy Scout.”

Responsibility: Superman feels he must use his powers for the benefit of all.

Secret Identity: While he is open about his identity as Kal-El, Superman keep his identity as Clark Kent as secret from the general public.

Vulnerability: Superman is Defense Disabled vs. magic. His Toughness is not Impervious against magical attacks.

Weakness: When exposed to unshielded kryptonite, its radiation saps the Strength and powers of Kryptonians, leaving them impaired, disabled, and eventually debilitated in terms of Strength and power effects. Long-term exposure (usually a matter of minutes, less for a large-enough amount) imposes the dying condition and may lead to death.

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 ...

Worlds Collide After Action Report (MiracleCon 2024)

Image
Recently, I was asked by a former co-worker -- also a popular gamer and GM in the local area -- if I would be interested in being a GM for the World's Collide mega adventure produced by Renegade Games Studios for the Essence20 rpg. This adventure crosses over the GIJoe, Power Rangers, and Transformers sessions, all of which use the same game system, so they work relatively seamless with each other. This article WILL contain SPOILERS for the Worlds Collide Adventure, so if you want to play and be surprised by this game, do not read any further. You can purchase the adventure from the Renegade Games Studios store here . For background set up... Lord Zedd, Doctor Mindbender, and Shockwave were all working on teleportation technology at the same time, creating an interdimensional incident that merge them into one being: Lord MindwaveZ . This also started drawing all of the multiverses together into one amalgamated chaos region. While this happens, Joe, Rangers, and Autobots are drawn i...

RANGE VIPER THREAT (GIJoe Essence20 rpg)

Image
I've been thinking about a scenario that involves the use of Ranger Vipers from GIJoe. However, looking through the various sourcebooks, Range Vipers have not yet been built as a Threat. As such, here is my Range Viper Threat Build, based on their classic toy card description and their upgraded accessories provided with their GIJoe Classified action figure. If you enjoy this content, please help support my friend Owen with his fight with cancer . Snail Nobra! Regular infantry would come back from a mission with hopes of getting hot meals and shower when they arrive at base.  Range-Vipers  are different. Their barracks is not a four-sided building with a roof, it's out there on the cold hard ground made of whatever makeshift materials they can find. Their meals are whatever edible walking or crawling critter that comes along, and their water comes from the nearest river and stream. They are only provided their uniforms and basic weapons. Whatever else they need they have to hun...
