About the adventure
A Mutants & Masterminds Play-by-Post Campaign Welcome to Megopolis, the crown jewel of the Koana Island States and home of the University Hero Academy. Here, young supers train under the bright lights and towering skyscrapers of the world’s greatest capital of heroes. At the heart of campus life lies its most iconic tradition: Rooks & Raiders, a no-kill superpowered sport where one team defends a bastion and the other fights to steal its prize. But this season, the game isn’t just sport. A rogue collective of villains—cheekily calling themselves The Raiders—has risen to challenge the Agency itself, turning the Academy’s beloved pastime into a very real battleground. Now Megopolis needs a new bastion and a new team of Rooks to defend it. Step into the arena. Forge your legacy. Are you a Rook who can hold the line—or will you become the next Raider? System: Mutants & Masterminds 3rd Edition Format: Play-by-Post Tone: Bright supers with high-stakes action, academy drama, and larger-than-life rivalries.

About me
Well hello! Name's David - SideQuestNPC on almost everything online. Coolest nerd you'll ever meet and, oh yeah, I'm a proud Forever DM. Throughout the years I pursued a career in filmmaking, a dream from my early teens. I've also done loads of Youtube content creating, live streaming on Twitch & YT, podcasting, writing, improv, and voice acting. Now that I've reprioritized what I want to do for a living, I've really come to realize that DM/GMing really flexes all my talents and interests into one role that I truly get a tremendous amount of joy and fulfillment from. So here I am, putting myself out there to carve my new path into a really exciting future.

Creating your character
Once join the discord server, there is a link to a character creator program/site that has everything one would need to help shape their character and their powers just as they want. The system Mutants & Masterminds is excellently made to accomplish a vast variety of powers and creative creations. Working with me and the group, we will nail down the character before the campaign officially kicks off.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You'll definitely need discord to join in on the fun. From there you'll have access to a few resources for character creation as well as a myriad of channels that are used to coordinate, fight, interact among each other and the NPCs.
What SideQuestNPC brings to the table
In Play-by-Post I provide a steady continuous narrative that showcases tons of interesting parties, individuals, and schemes at play. I like to also provide occasional audio clips to help immerse the players in their missions. Players are encouraged to try anything (within reason in the universe of course) and I pride myself in the ability to react and co-storytell with the player in the character's journey.

How SideQuestNPC creates a safe table
As per the private channels players will always be able to communicate with me their lines, veils, goals, and wishes. It's very important in not only shaping the character but the challenges laid before the House.
