Mutants and Masterminds, sometimes abbreviated "M&M" or "MnM", is a superhero tabletop roleplaying game by Green Ronin Publishing based on the d20 System by Wizards of the Coast, but includes substantial changes. The system is designed to be very generic and open (within the confines of the superhero genre), allowing players to create virtually any type of hero or villain desired. It has quickly become an extremely popular game among players of superhero roleplaying games. M&M is "the world's greatest superhero RPG"!  This role-playing game is published by [http://www.greenronin.com/ Green Ronin Publishing].  Enjoy the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutants_and_Masterminds M&M Wiki],  the [http://www.mutantsandmasterminds.com/index.php M&M "Headquarters"]  or visit the [http://www.atomicthinktank.com M&M Forum - "the Atomic Think Tank"] for much more than I can give.

The U.S. government in the 1970's started sponsoring Super-Teams for different cities.  Project VIGILANCE: Included the famous teams being used right now are the Crusaders (L.A.) and the Centurions (New York City). Recently, the L.A. team, the Crusaders have disappeared! A new team is sent to find out what has happened to them. 
 
 
 
* ''[[BEYOND FREEDOM]]'':  designed by Kevin Perrine, co-created by our player character group.  Extended from a four-color city-based setting by Steve Kenson called [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_City Freedom City] and combined with the near-future setting styled for Gotham City in the animated series Batman Beyond.  The year is 2054 AD, some fifty years in the future.  Freedonians and the world have bathed in the sun of a new golden age free from criminal hate.  But as with all things time stagnates.  The Fens' corruption has festered.

* ''[[TRIBE OF HEROES]]'':  A four-color, city-based setting by Steve Kenson that is filled with elements that are similar to the great icons and concpets of classic comic books.  ''Freedom City'' is presented in a hard-back sourcebook of its' own, both 1st and 2nd additions.  "Tribe of Heroes" is designed by Kevin Perrine, co-created by our player character group.  Extended from a four-color city-based setting by Steve Kenson called [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_City Freedom City] and focuses on a group of 20 something heroes that are in college at one of the various Freedom City higher education houses.  Inspirations are Friends meets The Outsiders.  Invincible and Spiderman (in the college years) is the primer for this setting...
 
 
 
* ''[[Bloodlines]]'': Designed by Lowell Francis, the Bloodlines setting focuses on family lines of superheroes and how they exist in the world. As the Cold War of the 1950’s intensified, the US tested its most powerful thermonuclear weapon. Contrary to models and expectations, this blast’s effects continued on in what came to be known as the Promethean Wave, a series of aurora borealis which lasted an entire year, spanning the globe. Somehow, it activated genetic potential hidden deep within humanity. Within the year the first natural occurring superhumans made their mark. However it became clear quickly that the Promethean gene was held only in a few bloodlines. As humanity takes its first tentative steps into the 21st Century, the superhumans are with them as well. Now with the third and fourth generation of these beings there are still many more questions yet to be resolved.
 
 
 
* ''[[Freedom City: Dark Deco]]'':  designed by Kevin Perrine, co-created by our player character group.  Set in Green Ronin's Freedom City, adjusted to the tone and style of the original [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman:_The_Animated_Series Batman: The Animated Series] cartoon.  A Dark Deco style will give Freedom an extraordinary look, redefining the image of the city. The campaign will also revamp classic characters, casting a unique perspective on their origins and personalities. Freedom City, a metropolis where shadows run long and deep, beneath elevated train tracks. The heroes begin their crimefighting, working tirelessly trying to establish themselves, all to bring justice to crime-ridden Freedom City.  Finding their way as protector, defender and costumed crusaders all alone in the night...
 
 
 
* ''[[Prometheus]]'': The Prometheus setting was created by Danny Chan. Following the escapades of very human heroes- yes, they may throws bolts of radiation and will the weather however they wish and survive a hail of bullets- but their psyches, egos, lives, and legends are usually torn apart in the inevitable march of culture. Ironically, it is not the heroes that are remembered but the villains- Professor Peril, Kid Cathexis, Nimue the Sovereign Sorceress, and Argos- because medals are pinned on but scars are torn in. The major metropolis of a very westward center America is Concordia, featuring great sites like the Clemency Society's Church, the Westward Center for Emerging Youth, the Geas Statue, Techland, and the Remarr Towers. The Matadors, a very flamboyant group of posthumans, clash the most in the Expansionist City and are led by yuppie demon Johnny Brimstone, parka wearing Quantum Run, over-eager Exchange, unabashed southern stereotype Wilco Wattage, Penicillin Bot, self-deprecating Skirmish Witch, and Draco (Yeah- the Draconian's son).
 
 
 
* ''[[Star Comics]]'': designed by Evan Waters. An epic Golden-Silver-Bronze-Modern Age setting, representing the output of the nonexistent Star Comics company. Open-ended, featuring alternate dimensions, aliens, Atlantis, subterranean prehistoric jungles, and so on and so on. Will continue to be embellished as time goes by.
 
 
 
=='''Published Settings'''==
 
The core M&M 1st Edition book doesn't come with a default setting, but does include a adventure that takes place in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_City Freedom City] setting.  Strangely, though, the example characters that players can use in this adventure are generally associated with another M&M setting: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=META-4&action=edit META-4].  This, combined with little information from Green Ronin means that its' unclear whether they are separate or a combined setting.  For our purposes here, we'll deal with them as separate settings.
 
 
 
*''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_City Freedom City]'': A four-color, city-based setting by Steve Kenson that is filled with elements that are similar to the great icons and concpets of classic comic books.  ''Freedom City'' is presented in a hard-back sourcebook of its' own.  ''Foes of Freedom'' details more villains that inhabit the city and ''Time of Crisis'' is a adventure module that sends the players beyond the city limits.
 
 
 
*[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=META-4&action=edit META-4]: This setting, by Eric Mona, was finally detailed in the ''Crooks!'' sourcebook.  It has been compared to the better parts of 1990's comic books.
 
 
 
*''[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nocturnals&action=edit Nocturnals]'': Based on Dan Brereton's comic book series, the setting book was written by him, with the assistance of Chris Pramas.  It is a horror/pulp-based setting.
 
 
 
*''Noir'': Written by Christopher McGlothlin, ''Noir'' is based on classic [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_Noir Film Noir] films.  The world of Noir is a dark one, where heroes are flawed and the friend you trust may be your greatest enemy.
 
 
 
=='''Superlink Settings'''==
 
Green Ronin licenses the use of M&M through the Superlink Program. Under the license, another publisher can produce their own material (such as campaign settings) using the M&M system.
 
*[http://www.blackwyrm.com/Products.htm ''Algernon Files'']: is a Silver/Bronze-age setting published by Blackwyrm Games.
 
*[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omlevex ''Omlevex'']: A Silver Age setting book that also acts as an "official" RPG book for a ficticious comic book company.
 
* [http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=3909& ''Hunters Inc.'']: set in a world with super-powered bounty hunters, adding a new genre to your game. Every member has their own plans and backstory hooks.
 
* [http://www.roninarts.com/superline ''Ronin Arts' Superline Series'']: Not so much a specific campaign as a loose structure of adventures and concepts that interlock. The only professional M&M Superlink 'zine available today. Issues 1-3 are in PDF and print.
 
 
 
=='''House Rules'''==
 
House Rules, Changes & Additions to the M&M 1st Edition Rule System.  M&M's game mechanics are based off the OGL (Open gaming|Open Gaming License) d20 System, designed by Wizards of the Coast, and is played in much the same way.
