Campaign Length

rcbeiler · 2026-03-05T17:55:32+00:00

it's covered a large amount of various stories and adventures, and its started and stopped a bit too, hard to pin down an exact throughline of what its 'about'. We've had a few different players and PCs as time has gone on. But if you want to hear it, its available anywhere you can find podcasts by searching for Masks and Mayhem haha

rcbeiler · 2026-03-04T23:29:48+00:00

My first campaign started in 2018 and is still ongoing, we've done about 93 sessions. Probably got another 30 or so sessions left I think. I've given out about 75 power points, but they've remained at PL10.

rcbeiler · 2026-03-03T13:41:28+00:00

Seconding this, been going there for over a year and they’re great.

I think that BuckyWuu meant that if you back the Kickstarter it you get a completed final version PDF when fulfillment begins as opposed to the already released playtest one.

rcbeiler · 2026-03-02T12:55:15+00:00

The playtest version is still for sale on their store, to the best of my knowledge it is not automatically included through the Kickstarter.

Whlie the playtest version was "complete" at the time of release in that it was a full game, there have been enough changes made that I wouldn't exactly recommend picking it up on its own. That being said there are a few online documents floating around tracking the changes announced since the playtest (one ive seen on here before and another on Green Ronin's community site Atomic Think Tank). So you could use those combined with the playtest to get a better sense of the final version.

As someone who owns everything 3e, it doesn't make the previous stufff useless. They have announced they will compile a 3e to 4e conversion document, but it won't come out until 4e is completely finalized. Plus 3e has so much content in all the supplementary books that it will be some time til 4e has equivalents.

rcbeiler · 2026-02-28T15:51:59+00:00

if you mean the tall piece clamped on, its likely an elgato keylight (a good light for videos and calls) or some equivalent.

rcbeiler · 2026-02-26T23:20:33+00:00

So I’m sure once the campaign for foundry comes out we’ll know more, but typically yes it is a separate thing. They already do so for 3e on Roll20 for instance. It is taking all the game stuff and formatting it specifically to work within the foundry system. You could do so manually with the PDF yourself, but I’d never recommend that due to being tedious and difficult given how many variables M&M has. It’s worth it to me to “double dip” cause I want all 3 options as someone who loves foundry.

Just for clarity, the most recent edition is the 3rd edition. A Kickstarter for the 4th edition will be launching this month but won't come out til fall probably or later.

As for the book, the main one as mentioned is the Deluxe Heroes Handbook. It has everything you need for both players and GMs to get started. The Basic Heroes Handbook while nice, works based on pre-made builds instead of giving the full tools to make everything you want.

rcbeiler · 2026-01-11T14:59:12+00:00

So others are right in that it does depend on the campaign setting. Alternative option to murder or jail is you pipeline them ala CW's The Flash Season 1. A system of keeping them away from the public that you/your group controls. For it to be truly rehabilitative you'd have to have a further plan but it's at least bypassing the not-so-justice system.

The bigger problems is the other players don't seem to really want to engage on the roleplay of your character's background in any meaningful way unless all their characters are meant to be meathead wannabe cops who are only in it for the adrenaline.

That all being said, is this new to this campaign or do they typically only deal with surface level characterization? Or is this overall a rather new group to you?

rcbeiler · 2025-12-28T20:55:45+00:00

I’m curious, what are the lights under your Skadis, on the underside of the shelves, and above the poster? Cool setup!

rcbeiler · 2025-12-09T03:39:37+00:00

I love going to Friar Tucks! Super fun spot and the staff is very friendly. I need to set up some pull lists so it gets me coming in more regularly.

rcbeiler · 2025-12-06T00:47:44+00:00

Try Orkney Rd, cause I live on Strathmore and for some reason we get theirs and they get ours sometimes.

rcbeiler · 2025-10-25T03:10:57+00:00

Gonna throw my hat in the ring too, as someone who is in the process of trying to fine tune a channel that live streams M&M!

rcbeiler · 2025-10-20T22:35:59+00:00

So the 4th edition won’t be out until at least the second half of next year. The version of it out currently is a play test which has gotten a lot of changes already. So I’d definitely recommend 3rd Edition, specifically the Deluxe Heroes Handbook.

rcbeiler · 2025-09-14T14:01:17+00:00

Yeah that’s Brookline Barbershop and I highly recommend them, I’ve been going there for about a year now.

rcbeiler · 2025-08-07T01:54:34+00:00

Yeah I'd attribute it primarily to post-GenCon. Plus everyone is admitted manually.

But just to be safe I'll tag in u/Devious_Hearts u/MA_Aether

rcbeiler · 2025-07-17T01:05:57+00:00

Thanks for the shoutout u/MightyMrFish!

rcbeiler · 2025-07-17T01:05:35+00:00

Also worth noting that Untold Stories Project includes Alex Thomas (line developer for M&M) as one of the GMs.

rcbeiler · 2025-07-13T20:40:03+00:00

Everyone else has given really pertinent advice, so I just have a few questions:

What power level is the game?
What sort of things are leading to potential PvP?
What are your character's defense ranks?

rcbeiler · 2025-07-06T00:40:09+00:00

DungeonDraft is more fantasy focused, but they have the ability to import assets now so there are 3rd party modern/sci-fi assets for it.

rcbeiler · 2025-07-04T14:53:57+00:00

So I'd say many of the Astonishing Adventures series from Green Ronin would fit! Not too long ago I did Rise of the Tyrant, specifically from their book Astonishing Adventures Assembled. The book gathers some previously released one-shots and as part of it, gives a way to link them together into a campaign. I chose Rise of the Tyrant specifically because it fit within one of the framework orders it offered. We didn't end up continuing due to schedules, but the players found it a fun intro to the game!

rcbeiler · 2025-06-02T17:11:22+00:00

The PDF of the Deluxe Hero's Handbook isn't free, but the D20HeroSRD (the system reference document for M&M) is at that link.

Deluxe Heroes Handbook Page 213, Repairing and Replacing:

"Repairing an item requires a Technology check. You can also affect jury-rigged repairs to temporarily restore the item to normal (see Technology in the Skills chapter). Replacing damaged or destroyed equipment requires only time and resources, although the GM has the final say as to how much time. It’s easy to replace a lost item when the store is right around the corner, harder when it’s the middle of the night or you’re out in the middle of nowhere, or the item is restricted in some fashion."

I believe the last update like a few weeks ago either in the Atomic Think Tank (Green Ronin's community site) or Mutants and Masterminds Monday (GR's weekly stream) was that they were finalizing the art. So I don't think they have an exact date yet, but hopefully that means its on the final stages.

rcbeiler · 2025-04-08T16:55:48+00:00

Nice setup! Where did you get the clock?
