Now the World&#8217;s Greatest Super-hero Roleplaying Game is even better! Mutants &#038; Masterminds, Second Edition, takes the best of the original edition and supercharges it to make it the most complete, detailed, and fun super-hero game yet! In this 256-page hardcover with a stunning new cover by Ramon Perez, you&#8217;ll find a complete roleplaying game that&#8217;s a perfect starting point for your own comic book adventures. Mutants &#038; Masterminds, Second Edition, has everything you need to create your own super-heroes and villains. It also offers more than a dozen ready-made super-hero archetypes and even more ready-to-use super-villain archetypes, plus two introductory adventures so you can start playing right away. Don&#8217;t let your super-powers fall behind! Mutants &#038; Masterminds, Second Edition, will take your game (and your heroes) to the next level!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I only discovered this game a couple of months ago, and I am hooked. It&#8217;s amazing how many little things have been irking me about the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blackgate.net\/blog\/index.php?s=hero+games\">Champions<\/a> game system for <em>decades<\/em>, and which have been fixed in Mutants &#038; Masterminds. Someone finally did a superhero RPG <strong>right<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>One thing to take care with, if you decide to pick up some of the M&#038;M books, is to be careful to get those which are <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mutants_%26_Masterminds\">compatible with the second edition<\/a>. There were quite a few rule changes between the first and second editions, and the overall quality of the second edition source material is also higher.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are looking for a superhero role-playing game, look no further than Mutants &#038; Masterminds, from Green Ronin Publishing.
