Rogues, Rivals & Renegades: Fright Knight by Aaron Sullivan

frightknight-color-promo

Terror comes in the night… the Fright Knight!

A powerful and dangerous Rogue, Fright Knight is a Power Level 12 threat for your Mutants and Masterminds campaign. He’s a perfect foil for a hero who stands for courage, or seeks to inspire others. His mysterious powers and insatiable need to inspire terror make him an easy villain to hate! If you need a heavy-hitting villain who can be your hero team’s boogeyman, Fright Knight may just fit the bill.

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. Every 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 Aaron Sullivan with full color art by Alex Williamson and Dionysia Jones, and layout by Ruben Byrd. Designed for the Mutants and Masterminds Third Edition Roleplaying game.

Nero the Newshound

Green Ronin super-star Steve Kenson joins us today to talk about the new edition of the Blue Rose roleplaying game! We discuss what it means to have an “inclusive” setting, what kind of magic and characters you can create in the Blue Rose setting, and Steve drops a Sir Mix-a-Lot reference. Tune in for all the details!

 

 I apologize in advance for any audio issues on my side of the recording. I’m in the process of building out my new podcast recording set-up and it sounds like I need a new microphone. I’ll try and have that remedied by next week’s episode.

Find your Path of Destiny! Available Now!

pirate sample pc_v2

We are proud to announce today’s release of the first “Add-on” product for Tianxia: Blood, Silk & Jade. Jack Norris’s Path of Destiny is a helpful set of tables and character creation advice that will guide you through character generation for Tianxia. Roll Fate dice or choose your way through the tables, it doesn’t matter. There are no “Bad” options! For each step of the way, you’ll also find expanded explanations and workshop-like discussions of different options, as well as suggested Aspects and other surprising ideas.

Path of Destiny is available now from Drive-Thru RPG as a “Pay what you want” product. Pay as little as nothing, or as much as you think it’s worth. We feel this product acts as a very good “Appendix” to the Tianxia: Blood, Silk & Jade product, and a great way to help players jump-start character creation for a Tianxia campaign!

Find it at Drive-Thru RPG here!
