Tonight I am joined by Steve Kenson, Jon Leitheusser, and Christopher McGlothlin as we explore the topic of creating adventures for Mutants and Masterminds. We talk about encounter balancing, story creation, and how to get the most out of your campaign story arcs without feeling overwhelmed by your players and their sneaky ways. As always, if you have more questions or comments, feel free to leave a comment below!

Thanks again to my wonderful guests for helping make this a great show. Brace yourselves for over 2 hours of GM rambling!

At last! Now that the players have come together and the characters are built, it’s time for our first campaign session! Listen as The Lamplighter, Jade Witch, Tempest, and Starchild encounter the escaped villain Calpyso and come together to stop her! I apologize for the intermittent sound glitches, they shouldn’t be too bad. Lyn Hill, Jason Tondro, Theron Bretz, and Rick Jones play while James Dawsey GMs.

Spoilers again! Sorry, gang, but The Avengers is just too big an event for one podcast about supers gaming! Tonight I’m joined by Cam Banks and Jack Norris to talk about Marvel Heroic Roleplaying and how you can relate to the film in terms of gaming. We spend time discussing Milestones, unlockables, resources, and the difference between “Talky” scenes and “Transition” scenes. I hope you enjoy it!
