From the Files of METAs…
Rogues!

Includes: Bestia, Saito Solutions, and Shockwave
Renegades!
Neither villain nor hero, Renegades live outside the world heroes are most familiar with. They may find themselves allies of your heroes one day and foes the next! Each Renegade is designed with strong motivations and themes to help make them memorable additions to any story.
Includes: Cy-Boar, Kogar, Little Sister, Rayzer, Warchild, White Room, Miss Rule, Mr. Ulysses, and Ms. D.
This collection of Rogues, Rivals & Renegades features solo characters, creatures, and organizations.

Rogues, Rivals & Renegades Collection Two Cover Preview
Greetings, Vigilance Press fans! It’s been a busy Summer, but we’ve been hard at work on a number of projects. Today, I want to give everyone a special early look at the cover art for our second collection of Rogues, Rivals & Renegades. This cover art is by Domenico Neziti, who may be familiar to Mutants and Masterminds fans as an illustrator who has worked on several great Green Ronin projects. In fact, he illustrated many of the character archetypes I designed for the Cosmic Handbook by Green Ronin!
From the first illustration I saw, I was an instant fan of his work. I’m so very pleased to be able to share this early look at the first art he has produced for Vigilance Press. This art features The Hierophant and Cog, Rayzer, and Shockwave. These characters and many more will be in Rogues, Rivals & Renegades: Collection Two coming soon, from Vigilance Press!

Spirits, Beasts & Spells print proof ordered, plus Backerkit rewards!
This is just a quick post to let everyone know that Tianxia: Spirits, Beasts & Spells has been cleared for the print on demand version. I ordered my print proof today, so it’ll be roughly a week or so until I get it. That means it may arrive while I’m out of town at Gen-Con, which will mean the product will likely not go live until I get back from Gen Con.
Starting today, we will be using Backerkit to start delivering digital rewards to our Kickstarter backers, in addition to the rewards through Drive Thru RPG and RPG Now. If you are a backer of the Tianxia: Blood, Silk & Jade kickstarter, you should check your Backerkit accounts at tianxia.backerkit.com to find some new files available later today.

Christmas in July is here! Spirits, Beasts & Spells is almost ready!
Two great pieces of news today! First off, if you’ve been waiting for a good deal on most of our product lines, it’s Christmas! Christmas in July, that is. The Christmas in July sale at Drive Thru RPG and RPG Now means 25% discounts on most every digital product we sell, such as our Rogues, Rivals & Renegades series!
In other news, Tianxia: Spirits, Beasts & Spells is now out of layout! I’ve uploaded the files to Drive Thru RPG and RPG Now, and am waiting on those files to be approved so we can set those files “live” for sale. More news on that as soon as the files are ready for sale. Check out today’s update on our Kickstarter campaign site for more details!
Spirits, Beasts & Spells going into layout tomorrow… Live on Twitch!
Folks, I have some great news that I wanted to share with you before I headed off to the JAFAX convention last week, but I needed to wait until the contract had been signed and some back-and-forth made that timing a little off. So this announcement may sound a bit more last-minute than it actually is, but here we go!
Daniel Solis, who did the amazing layout and graphic design work on Tianxia: Blood, Silk & Jade, is going to be tackling our Spirits, Beasts & Spells book! We’re very excited to have Daniel back, working on the second major release of the Tianxia books. Ruben Byrd and I are still hard at work at the other Tianxia material for you, so bringing Daniel on means we’ll be able to get more of the Tianxia books done in a shorter period of time!
Not only that, but he’s going to be streaming it live on his Twitch channel, if people want to watch him work! We estimate he’ll be done towards the end of July, and he’ll be starting roughly tomorrow (July 1) with the streaming. His working hours will be roughly from noon to five in the evening Eastern Time. If you want to keep up with him, follow his Twitter handle @DanielSolis for updates! If you subscribe to it, you can also set it to send you email alerts so you’ll know the latest info on his plans.
You can find his Twitch Tv stream here (It may not always be live):
http://www.twitch.tv/danielsolis81
And his Twitter link, in case you don’t know how to find it by the @DanielSolis address:
https://twitter.com/DanielSolis
I’ll be releasing some more art to you soon as Denise is still chugging away on various pieces for the upcoming books, but I wanted to make this a standalone post to share with everyone right away.
Thanks again for backing us, and I hope you’re as excited as I am to watch Tianxia: Spirits, Beasts & Spells come to life!

He’s not from around here… Kogar! An Alien Renegade for Mutants and Masterminds
He’s not from around here… Kogar!
Now Available from Drive Thru RPG!
A Power Level 12 Renegade, Kogar is an alien bounty hunter with little concern for local law. Kogar is an iconic character in the Beacon City universe, but can be dropped into any campaign with very little alteration.
Kogar’s file is designated “Red” to indicate his powers are innate, but alien. Strong, fast, and skilled in battle, Kogar is a tough visitor to any planet. Unfortunately, he’s not exactly concerned with obeying local customs or checking in with the local law. In fact, he’s not entirely sure what the locals look like, he’s only concerned with tracking down his quarry and cashing them in for a bounty before moving on to his next mission! Any hero who gets in his way will find him occasionally reasonable, but no less annoying for it. On the other hand, his space-ship’s ability to travel anywhere in the known universe might just make him the ally your heroes never knew they needed. For a price.
Welcome to Rogues, Rivals & Renegades. Each entry in the series is designed as a villain, a potential ally with complications, or an outsider who might help the PCs one day and be at odds with them another. Each character has the potential to become a mainstay of your campaign!
Rogues, Rivals & Renegades are presented as files from a meta-human monitoring agency called METAs, with a loose frame story connecting them to Vigilance Press‘s own Beacon City setting. They are designed to drop into any setting with minimal effort, however, and the METAs commentary is written to give you a better picture of each character’s personality and threat level. Each issue gives you a background for the character, commentary from METAs files, a standee to print and play with, and Hero Lab files for key characters!
Authored by James Dawsey with full color art by Alex Williamson, and layout by Ruben Byrd. Designed for the Mutants and Masterminds Third Edition roleplaying game.
For the first half of the Rogues, Rivals & Renegades series, be sure to check out Rogues, Rivals & Renegades Collection One, now available on Drive Thru RPG!
Putting the “ESP” in Espionage.. White Room, for Mutants and Masterminds
They put the ESP in Espionage… White Room!
Available now from Drive Thru RPG!
A Renegade Organization, White Room is a mysterious intelligence agency composed of individuals with unique gifts. White Room is an iconic setting element in the Beacon City universe, but can be dropped into any campaign with very little alteration.
White Room’s file has no color or ranking designation, because the organization may be composed of people of hugely diverse backgrounds. In fact, the membership of the organization is left largely vacant, for the GM to fill with characters tailor-made to their players. The two feature agents of White Room detailed in this release are Mr. Ulysses and Ms. D. These two mysterious characters are PL 11 and 9, respectively, each offering a distinctive set of psychic skills with which they serve the interests of White Room. What are those interests? Will the players find themselves targets of this mysterious espionage group, or will they fight side by side? Only time, and serious investigation, will tell!

Witness the Dark Reflections of… Obsidious!
Witness the Dark Reflections of… Obsidious!
Now available from Drive Thru RPG!
A Power Level X Rogue, Obsidious is an undying evil being who delights in confronting people with their own dark sides. Obsidious is an iconic character in the Beacon City universe, but can be dropped into any campaign with very little alteration.
Obsidious’s file is designated “Black” to reflect his strange, occult origins. Is he a god? A cosmic entity from another world? Or is he a servant of powers even more terrifying that lurk beyond the worlds we know? No-one knows for certain, but his evil nature is unquestionable. On his own, he is a Power Level 16 threat, but the powers within his mystic Black Mirror grant him abilities that defy quantification. Chief among these powers is his ability to confront heroes with dark reflections of themselves, manifestations of their own dark sides given physical form! Can your heroes defeat themselves and foil the plots of Obsidious?

A fanatic determined to remake the world in his image… The Hierophant!
A fanatic determined to reshape the world… The Hierophant!
Now available from Drive Thru RPG!
A Power Level 16 Rogue, The Hierophant is an emissary from a mysterious force dedicated to transforming the universe. The Hierophant is an iconic character in the Beacon City universe, but can be dropped into any campaign with very little alteration.
The Hierophant’s file is designated “Black” to reflect his strange, occult origins. Once upon a time, he was a mortal man who lost his way and searched for answers to the deepest questions. Now he believes he knows the truth, and seeks to spread the word of Ex Machina wherever he goes. Whether he is mad, or truly empowered by some supernatural entity has yet to be determined, but there is no mistaking his power. Included in his writeup is his mechanical minion, Cog, a steam-powered menace in its own right. A truly potent presence, The Hierophant has already left his mark upon Beacon City. It’s up to your heroes to keep him from transforming the rest of the world into a reflection of his uncompromising vision!
