Meet Beacon City’s protectors, the Challengers of Beacon City!

A group of playable PL 11 characters for Mutants and Masterminds, the Challengers are a special “Sneak Peek” at a work in progress by Jack Norris for Vigilance Press. Offered FREE for download, the Challengers can be used as NPCs in your home campaign, player characters for pick-up games or sit-in players, or they can even be used as villains!

The Elements of Ruin: The Challengers is a chapter from the upcoming The Elements of Ruin project, a massive supplement for Mutants and Masterminds that is more than a mere setting book, more than a rules supplement, it’s an entire campaign! Terrifying villains, valiant heroes, fantastic NPCs… you’ll find everything you need between the covers of the Elements of Ruin. This preview product is just a small taste of the exciting ideas that are coming your way from Vigilance Press!

A challenge as great as the Ruin calls for powerful heroes! The Challengers are ready to answer the call… are you?
