Mutants and Masterminds

About the adventure

This city is a small city where everything is as normal as can be. That is until a sudden shift in that normality has rocked it to it's core. Some people have suddenly developed powers. Why characters have their powers and where they came from would be a mystery that we can explore together. Also, not everyone will be using these powers in responsible ways. Some with dark motivations will rise up and put our new heroes to the test. Learn how to control and grow your powers, stop those who abuse their new gifts, and discover where these powers came from to begin with. Mutants and Masterminds is a system fueled by imagination like no other game that I have seen. Any character you can imagine is possible. Lets build something great together. The themes of the story are going to be a mix of hope, heroics, and mystery. The specific story is going to be written for and alongside the characters in it. I can't wait to hear about all of the imaginative character ideas you come up with!

How to prepare

Players can prepare by thinking of a fun power set. Examples would be speedster, super strength, or shapeshifter. Players are certainly not limited to just these as the powers that are possible in this system are limitless. Besides a character, If you want to make some character art (or find some online) to use for your character token, that would be super helpful. I plan to use discord for voice chat, so players should have a working mic and a discord account. Players should also have an account on roll20 because that is where we will have our character sheets and dice rolls.

What I provide

I will bring whatever digital components we need to make a good story happen. Maps, fun enemies, good stories.

Gameplay details

The rating of this adventure aims to be somewhere between PG and PG-13 depending on the players. I generally won't do (or allow players to do) anything that you wouldn't see in your average PG-13 superhero movie. Expect fantasy violence and maybe some language. There is no explicit content of any kind aloud. We will have a session zero that will go over everyone's expectations and desires for the campaign. We'll touch on what to expect as well as things to avoid. If for any reason a player needs to step away or remove themselves, we will be utilizing the safety measures of Open Door and X, N, & O Cards. Open Door is simply to empower the player to step away and rejoin (or leave if necessary) whenever they need to for any reason, no questions asked. X, N, & O Cards function as an indicators to me (the GM) when subject matter arises which causes discomfort to the point it disrupts your experience, you can utilized X, N, & O in the following ways: X: Place an X in the chat to let me know you are uncomfortable with the current content, often resulting in a change, rewind, or skip of the aforementioned content. N: Placing an N in the chat lets me know that you feel the content is heading towards an X card, often resulting in a change or a “fade to back”. O: An O in the chat is a check-in card, where I will stop and check with the entire group to ensure that everyone is comfortable continuing with the content.

How will character creation work

I am very excited to try something new here. The main parts of character creation will happen before, after, and during session zero, but characters will continue to grow and change as the story goes. This goes beyond leveling up. Characters will have the opportunity to become something greater than just a person in a colorful costume. I also have a number of resources to share with players. These include rules references, youtube videos, online tools, character builder, and more.
