The Kaiju Kultists are here! Monsters versus Superheroes… FIGHT!
When Titans CLASH!
When you’re faced with the villains known as the Kaiju Kultists, it’s time to go big or go home! These monsters are so huge we had to design new rules for your Mutants and Masterminds Third Edition campaign to tell the tale.
In this issue of Due Vigilance you’ll find a set of monster-versus-city rules for pitting your heroes against foes who tower over the skyline! You’ll also meet a whole troupe of evil Kaiju and their misanthropic human counterparts. From the undying cruelty of Itaihime, to the madness of Waira the Strange, a variety of fully developed super-sized menaces await within these pages. Or use the provided guidelines on designing Kaiju Kultists and other giant creatures to create menaces of your own!
Designed and written by veteran Mutants and Masterminds author Jack Norris, Kaiju Kultists presents six fully detailed villains and a host of other NPCs. Illustrations are provided in full color by Denis Loubet, Denise Jones, and Alex Williamson, including print-and-play standees for all the featured characters.
The PDF copy also includes Hero Lab portfolio files for the important NPCs in the book. Grab your copy at Drive-Thru RPG by clicking this link!
The Kaiju Kultists want to stomp out all of humanity… only your heroes stand in their way!
Me First! (Tianxia is in my hands!)
One of the great perks about being a publisher is that I get the first copy of the books I make. Today, I got my publisher’s proof copy of Tianxia: Blood, Silk & Jade. It looks super-sweet, I’m very proud of all the work that has gone into it. The shipment hasn’t landed at the distributors yet, but I’ll keep you posted as that happens. Domestic backer copies will start shipping around the 19th, assuming no bumps along the way, and I’ll keep you posted as to the shipments for our international backers through Chronicle City as they get their copies.
Thanks again to everyone who backed this project. I can’t wait to hear back from people when they get their hands on this book!
Tianxia: Blood, Silk & Jade leaves the printers today!

Have you ever wondered what a Print Proof looks like?
Wonder no more!
Here is the Print Proof for Tianxia: Blood, Silk & Jade. The stack on the upper left are sections of pages bound and glued together to create the “Side-by-Side” page effect so I can look them over for layout and typos. The BIG stack on the upper right are my “Laser Color” proofs to show how the actual color will look when printed, and the unfolded page at the bottom is the laser proof of the cover (which will wrap around the book, so the back is to the left and the front is to the right).
This is my homework tonight and tomorrow!
