Extra! Extra!

Check out the latest edition of the Vigilance Press Podcast here!

Mutants and Masterminds line developer Jon Leitheusser stops by to talk about their new Kickstarter project, as well as tell us how upcoming M&M projects are doing. All in just under an hour!

* Slight update on the info presented in the podcast. Jon and I spoke briefly about the “Character Promotion” reward listed on the kickstarter. Correcting our information, the characters will *not* have illustrations, they will simply be promoted on the M&M website. I do believe they will accept your own art if you want to submit art with the character, however!

Vigilance Press artist Dan Houser will join me at Anime Weekend Atlanta’s Artist Alley this weekend! Come down, say hello, and check out our books. Dan and I will be drawing for you, and doing digital commissions as well. We hope to see you at the con!

Expect some MAJOR announcements from Vigilance Press in the next few weeks. Black Chapter is almost ready to go, so hopefully we can have that available for PDF by mid-October. We also have a Kickstarter we plan to announce soon (Elements of Ruin!), and some more books lined up after Black Chapter! So much awesome, only Kid Awesome-Tastic (pictured) can handle the fun!

See you at AWA this weekend!

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?
