This week’s Rogues, Rivals & Renegades release: The Volatile VXen!

VXen-Colors-PromoA catalyst for danger… VXen!

VXen, now available on Drive Thru RPG.

A Power Level 12 RogueVXen 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.

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 toVigilance 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 Jack Norris with full color art by Alex Williamson, and layout by Ruben Byrd. Designed for the Mutants and Masterminds Third Edition Roleplaying game.

A world-class supervillain for your Mutants and Masterminds games: El Conquistador!

Now available on Drive Thru RPG and RPGNow!

An immortal bent on world domination… El Conquistador!

A Power Level 13 RogueEl Conquistador has spent centuries seizing power! El Conquistador is an iconic character in the Beacon City universe, but can be dropped into any campaign with very little alteration.

 

El Conquistador’s file is designated “Black” to represent the unknown origins of his abilities. He is armed with an indomitable will and artifacts of both mystical and technological origins. He is a world-class villain with world-class ambitions. Nothing short of the utter conquest of Earth will satisfy his thirst for power! This megamaniacal outlook makes him a perfect nemesis for heroes or teams who operate on a global scale, while his immortal background can easily connect to heroes with similar backgrounds. If your hero has walked the Earth for long enough, it is very likely they have crossed paths (and possibly swords) with El Conquistador in the past!

The Cosmic Handbook from Green Ronin is available, and I helped!

Cosmic Handbook on the Green Ronin Store

 

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!
