Rogues, Rivals & Renegades: Over 30 Issues Strong!
Greetings, Vigilance Press Fans!
I’ve been away from the website for a bit (had a great time at Orca Con!), but we’ve managed to keep pace with our Rogues, Rivals & Renegades releases without missing a beat! Here’s a breakdown of everything we’ve released so far, divided into Series 01 (which will be included in the first Collection of issues titled: Rogues, Rivals & Renegades Collection One) and Series 02 (which is the current list of solo issues). To date we’ve released over 30 weekly issues of Rogues, Rivals & Renegades!
Collection One is juuuust about ready to go live, too! Collection One compiles the first 23 issues (24 entries) of Rogues, Rivals & Renegades into a volume over 100 pages long! It’s our biggest print on demand offering yet, and it’ll be available through Drive Thru RPG Soon. We’re currently waiting on the printer to approve our print files so we can get a test print of Collection One before we make it available for sale. When that goes live, we’ll be sure to let everyone know.
To celebrate more than six months of steady releases, I’m hyperlinking each of our solo issues below in a massive list! Check it out to see if you’ve missed anything, or for a preview of what’s in store if you’re waiting for Collection One! Click the “More” link to see the list… see you on the other side!
Can your city survive this SHOCKWAVE!?
Now on sale from Drive Thru RPG and RPG Now!
Can the city survive her attempts to save it?… Shockwave!
A Power Level 10 Rival, Shockwave is a powerhouse who often winds up causing as much collateral damage as the villains she’s trying to stop! Shockwave is an iconic figure in the Beacon City universe, but can be dropped into any campaign with very little alteration.
Shockwave is a young would-be superhero whose powers make her a formiddable foe, indeed. She’s brash and ready to smash, and all-too-willing to tear up the streets in order to hit the bad guys as hard as she can. A perfect Rival for heroes who try to minimize such damage, she can be a real pain to reign in, or an ally if they need a heavy hitter and are willing to pay the insurance bills. With a few tweaks, she might even make a beautiful disaster of a romantic interest for one of your heroes! Built under the same guidelines for a Power Level 10 Player Character, she can also be used as a handy “Guest Star” for a player visiting your game who doesn’t have a character ready.
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 by METAs agents, a standee to print and play with, and the Hero Lab file for the character!
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.
Fineous Frost arrives for Mutants and Masterminds 3E!
He spent decades on ice, and he has no plans to go back… Fineous Frost!
Available now from Drive Thru RPG and RPG Now!
A Power Level 10 Rogue, Fineous Frost is a man with a lifetime of criminal experience. Fineous Frost is an iconic character in the Beacon City universe, but can be dropped into any campaign with very little alteration.
Fineous Frost‘s file is designated “Gold” to denote that his powers are the result of external manipulation of some kind. Exactly what kind of chemical cocktail is responsible for his transformation remains a closely guarded secret, but his ability to create and manipulate areas of intense cold are a chilling experience for anyone who would stand in his way. To the world at large, Frost is a reformed ex-convict, setting up a business in the heroes’s home town. In secret, Frost is a more careful criminal, operating from behind the scenes, and he plays well against heroic detectives who are diligent enough to untangle his criminal web to discover the spider at the center. He would also certainly hold a grudge against heroes who carry the legacies of other heroes he faced in his earlier career, before he spent decades years in prison. Or, if one of your heroes is an immortal himself, Frost may be a “blast from the past” to represent the never-ending fight against crime!

The Woman with the Toxic Touch: Acid Beth is now Live!
The only thing more deadly than her beauty is her touch… Acid Beth!
Rogues, Rivals & Renegades: Acid Beth is now available from Drive Thru RPG and RPG Now!
A Power Level 10 Rogue, Acid Beth is the kind of woman every mother warns you about. Acid Beth is an iconic character in the Beacon City universe, but can be dropped into any campaign with very little alteration.
Acid Beth‘s file is designated “Red” to represent her innate power to disintegrate anything she touches. What makes her truly dangerous, however, is her modus operandi. She enjoys bending others to her will and then throwing them under the bus when they start to get wise to her. A thrill-seeker to the bone, she gravitates to power and is often encountered acting as a ‘lieutenant’ to ambitious criminal masterminds or super-crooks. As a nemesis, she may mark one of your heroes as her next conquest, or for revenge if they get the better of her. Either way, she has left a trail of misery in her wake and will continue to do so until someone manages to stop her!

This week’s Rogues, Rivals & Renegades release: The Volatile VXen!
A catalyst for danger… VXen!
VXen, now available on Drive Thru RPG.
A Power Level 12 Rogue, VXen is an evil genius who sees every situation as a recipe for danger! VXen is an iconic character in the Beacon City universe, but can be dropped into any campaign with very little alteration.
VXen’s file is designated “Blue” to represent her technological advantages. Her understanding of chemistry is superhuman, and she takes advantage of this mastery of the elements to manipulate any situation to her advantage. Her desire to gain power and complete lack of moral inhibitions makes her a very dangerous woman with unhindered ambitions. She makes a perfect foe for heroes who use their brains before their brawns, or for heroes dedicated to preventing collateral damage.

The Cosmic Handbook from Green Ronin is available, and I helped!
The new Cosmic Handbook from Green Ronin was a huge undertaking. I was tapped to write the Cosmic Heroes chapter which talks about character creation, species templates, equipment, and has heroic archetypes. Having my work showcased in a book with amazing artwork from an amazing publisher, and alongside some of the best writers in the RPG industry, is a huge deal for me. If you play Mutants and Masterminds, I hope you’ll find something to love in the Cosmic Handbook!

What kind of Halloween would it be without a witch? Check out Covenant for Mutants and Masterminds 3E!
Now available on Drive Thru RPG!
The Immortal Mistress of Magick… Covenant!
A Power Level 10 Renegade, Covenant has walked the Earth for generations. She has spent centuries honing both her mystic skills and her anti-mundane prejudices. Covenant is a mystic master in the Beacon City universe, but can be dropped into any campaign with very little alteration.
Covenant is designated “Violet” for her magical origins. She has seen the worst of humanity in her long years on this world, and it has left her with very little respect for those who do not walk the path of magick. She considers “Mundanes” to be both troublesome and of little value. While she rarely sets out to cause trouble for them, she will not hesitate to enter into conflicts with them in defense of mystic beings, even those most mystics might deem overtly dangerous.

Take this bull by the horns, if you dare! Minotarr for Mutants and Masterminds!
Now available at Drive Thru RPG and RPG Now!
The running of the bull… Minotarr!
A Power Level 12 Rogue, Minotarr is a brute your players will love to hate. This thuggish fool has been cursed with great power, despite having no sense of responsibility! Not the world’s most inspiring leader, he still brings with him a number of power level 7 thugs who’re just as obnoxious and bull-headed (well, figuratively) as their leader. Minotarr is a classic villain archetype in the Beacon City universe, but can be dropped into any campaign with very little alteration.
Minotarr is designated “Violet” for his magical origins. This can attract the attention of heroes of a mystic bent who aren’t used to dealing with foes who are so direct in their villainy or methods of combat. Of course, because Minotarr holds grudges easily, he makes a great nemesis for any hero who stands between him and whatever he wants to grab by force. Editor’s Note: Paired with Ticktock, Minotarr makes for a fun “Old West” themed episode of your game. Your players may get a lot of mileage out of bull puns at his expense!
