About me
I've been GMing for awhile, maybe 2-ish decades? I'm not exactly sure on the math but I got my start when I saw the ItsmeJP youtube channel host Swan Song and learned that Roll20 existed. I'd always enjoyed forum play-by-post RPing but gaming in person was beyond my ability due to nobody in the small town in northern Minnesota where I lived being interested. I moved from system to system and slowly learned how much I enjoyed GMing and I've been doing it ever since.

Creating your character
This is a game specsfically about learning how to create characters, so everything will be done during the session
What to expect
Preparing for the session
I will be using Discord primarily. At player request I can also set up a roll20 (The Foundry Module for M&M is not yet finished but when it is foundry will also be an option) OPTIONAL: I will be using Green Ronin's official character creator: Mastermind Maker, to run through character creation. I will be streaming it via discord so having the program yourself in not neccessary, however if you want to follow along you can purchase it at this link here https://greenroninstore.com/products/mastermind-maker-character-creator-software-for-m-m-3e (If this takes off I will see about reaching out to the publisher about getting some free keys, but this is a trial run)
What CJ "Rusty" brings to the table
I will walk you through how to build a character at PL 10, and what it means to build characters at lower and higher power levels. I will explain the PL caps, how to and if you should "Shift", how to build a power, how to apply extras, how advantages work and how combat works

Safety
How CJ "Rusty" creates a safe table
As this is a learn to play session, there shouldn't be any need for lines and veils or other things, but I will do lines and veils if needed. If a player is Toxic, or disruptive during the sessionthey will be removed.
