For those Super Hero RPG lovers out there, the 3rd edition of Mutants and Masterminds has just been announced. My experiences with M&M haven’t been the most happy; there are things about the system I really like, but the damage system irritates me massively. (I’m much happier with a simple hit points system). And there are a few totally broken powers. Con drain, I’m looking at you, although overall the system works pretty well.
The timing for this announcement is suspiciously close to Green Ronin’s announcement of their plans to release the DC ADVENTURES RPG. They couldn’t be connected, could they?
So, does this mean that sometime in the future our old M&M characters might get resurrected to see action against the villains (and heroes) of the DC universe? Anything is possible, although I’m not sure exactly how much sympathy our superheroic GM, Martin, has for the DC setting. Do we team up with the villains to trash Metropolis and Gotham City? Time will tell…
The only problem with trying to trash Gotham is that Batman will show up. And you know the rule:
Batman Always Wins.
