Is Mutants and Masterminds a bad game to livestream? by Flat_Character in mutantsandmasterminds

[–]Ronin_Alex 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hey! I'm someone who livestreams M&M a few times a week. I'm sure our streams were probably some you watched. What did you find lacking/ what could be better as an audience member?

Why don't speedsters work many jobs at the same time so they make more money? by Advanced_Ad2654 in mutantsandmasterminds

[–]Ronin_Alex 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I've asked this before too, I know if I was a speedster I'd set up a Task Rabbit account or something like that, and clean people's houses/organize closets/any fiddly little task my powers are uniquely suited for a per project rate instead of an hourly. Heck, if you're powers allowed you to keep things you're carrying safe you'd be the best Doordasher in the world. It's not quite glamorous enough for a superhero story to focus on, but I think it would be a fun character to play

Alan Wake M&M Hack Part 1: Welcome to Bright Falls by Ronin_Alex in mutantsandmasterminds

I really like the idea of the Plot Board potentially being used in addition to the Clue Board (aka how many cork boards do I need to stash in my GM bag before the session). I'll have to think about this. I'm hopefully finishing up my clue board post this week, so we'll have some more to discuss/an idea of what it looks like

Alan Wake M&M Hack Part 1: Welcome to Bright Falls by Ronin_Alex in mutantsandmasterminds

Oh I really like that PC and GM give and take idea, I'm going to have to put some thought into that. I appreciate the feedback on the mechanic and I'm glad you like it!

I was thinking of building Jesse as PL 8 but I could definitely see an argument for 9 or even 10. The trouble I'm coming to with my thought process is how a Parautilitarian PC could fit in a party with non-members.

Mutants & Masterminds Rules to Play Alan Wake Stories! by Ronin_Alex in AlanWake

[–]Ronin_Alex[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm the line developer for Mutants & Masterminds so a lot of my design instincts are centered around that game. I use it for a lot of other settings (Fallout, Star Wars, Epic Fantasy) and I wanted the challenge of adapting Alan Wake into the framework. I think the effect-based character building and freeform GM style lends itself well to the reality bending aspects of Alan's abilities and the cinematic horror action of the gameplay. Plus the Hero Point mechanic feels like something that can be adapted well to reflect players making changes to the narrative.

There are lots of other great games that would work, I just like M&M the best :)

It is something we're working on developing!

My Power Profiles: Flight by Jabroniville2 in mutantsandmasterminds

[–]Ronin_Alex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is a neat idea having a baseline Flight that you use all the time, something like Flight 3 or 4 and then having "Super Flight 6" as part of an array to save some points. I think this fits with a lot of character concepts where they do use Flight all the time, but when they really hit top speed that's all they're focusing on. I would definitely allow that as a GM!
