วีดีโอ

You are great bro from one forever dm to another I appreciate you

You are doing great. Thank you for doing these videos. Im a forever dm since 3.5 and I love these vids 🙏🏼🥰

Thanks! This was so helpful!

I need that spreadsheet

I am having trouble understanding most of this, most likely because I do not watch anime. like guy throws and attack, ok what stats are added together to get the results? because the guy has the "something something whatever" he uses his action to stop the guy but it fails, the what? and how? I had to watch this video like 5 times and crack open the book to try and understand this. what I could grasp. 1. initiative, no problem. 2. active defenses, ... you said the word active defense, no idea how it works. 3. injuries and recovery, their is a pain scale but damage did nothing because of a power. 4. general tactics. just hitting someone repetitively is not the best tactic.

This sort of conversion is great. I am currently in the process of converting my Pathfinder 2e (previously D&d) game into a M&M one. At first this sounded insane, but the campaign as a whole was always so ridiculous and over the top it could only be described as anime, and even in the much more high-powered system that is Pf2e I still often had to homebrew stuff for some of the more exaggerated powers (especially for the villains). Of course, they'll still be narratively playing Rogues, Fighters, Rangers and all that, but now they'll live up to the status of "legendary heroes" they've achieved over time, and their more insane ideas, like the plague biopunk style mutations of the Fighter, the previously lost elemental powers of both the Ranger and the Paladin, or our Thaumaturge who wanted to awaken his draconic lineage to LITERALLY turn into a Dragon, all of these are possible now and fairly easy too. One other interesting thing is that the players will finally be able to live up to their villains narrative-wise. Their first narrative antagonist was introduced splitting a ship in half with her Air Elemental powers, flying, summoning Elementals, and in their final fight she cut off the wing of the dragon she was riding, lifted it up with her wind powers so that it would still fly and once the team killed the dragon she altered the entire scenery of the fight with a flourish of her spear and began the most anime fight in the whole game. Mechanically, the players were always strong enough to beat these exaggerated villains, but narratively the only way they could SOMETIMES emulate this same level of over-the-top power displays was when they spent hero points, they were normally nowhere near this absurd, as exemplified by the fact that, once they defeated the villain I just described, they did the whole "turn her good" thing and a player whose character died on the fight began playing as the redeemed antagonist, and wouldn't you know it: I had to nerf her in-story to make her fit as a normal Paladin. Now, in Mutants and Masterminds, I have no doubt in my mind the players could reach this same level of absurdity, and even the Paladin herself could once again be as ridiculous as her villanous self once was. The game might still be all about swords and spells, but they always were superheroes.

My only issue with the example is the use of Naruto. If you don't have any idea of the powers,abilities or characters, it's going to go over people's heads and really lose people.

0:18 ummm, what's this lol

Loving the videos! They've been a huge help in learning the game! I want to run a game of my my own with my friends but i bet itll be a while 😂

Man if only we had a show about this Naruto fella, that would be awesome

Thank you very much. Very helpful as always. :)

I apologize for seeming nagative here. I appreciate all the people on youtube who are putting out these videos to help me learn a complicated system. You gave a heart to my previous comment, so hopefully, you'll take this as constructive and not simply complaining. No one seems to be giving examples of what they're explaining in any of the mutant and mastermind videos I've seen so far, not just you. It would be nice after a rule is discussed to see it in action. "For example," and then play out a scenario, would do a lot to help a viewers understanding. Again, thank you for making these videos, I know it takes a lot of work

This should have been the first video. You need to understand how ranks in abilities and powers are going to be applied so you can conceptualize how many points you want to spend in things. Everything before this lacks an understanding of gameplay. The second video should have been a battle tutorial that applied these and taught attacking mechanics

Given how star platinum is used and how Dio uses the world I think it’d be an array. Requires activation, regular action, teleport with a limited range. A subtle quickness power (when he quickly lights fires or swats the rat’s needle out. Additive power of Enhanced Advantage Seize Initiative (Jotaro stopping time to get the first move in). It has enough effects that it probably is its own big power set

Ive been smashing my head against a wall trying to understand this game for 3 months now. Struggling but getting there i think. Actually planning a one piece game so this helps. Gonna start it low power and have the power boosts every few games or so

It’s official…I’ll never convince my friends to play this.😢

Do you have a template for the google sheet ?

Would love to see you do a video breaking down lore from the Mutants and Masterminds universe. Like the history of the Labyrinth for example

do you have a link for the character sheet?

Fantastic video, as wper the norm! Thank you!

seems like a dumbed down version of Champions the classic superhero rpg

Yes! Thanks for this! I want to make some of XMen.

00:45 Boruto's dad 🤣

Great work, as always!

You deserve more people oh my god. I love your content and you being this slept on is fucking criminal.

thank you so much for making these videos they are really help full

What would you consider a Dragon Ball Z character’s power level?

Can you explain how do wide arrays work

Sad this system kind of fell to that weird place most d20 games that aren't 5e and pathfinder were put. People know of this game, may even have good memories if it. But ffs trying to get anyone to actually sit down and play, is like finding a unicorn. There is like a dozen games in the same spot for me. I can never get my group. I dm for to play.

Great to see you're still posting! Excited to see what's new.

In this situation would you consider Dark Shadow's "armor" mode to be a separate power or part of an array?

loving this, as always

Luv jujutsu kaisen

Nice! Thanks for sharing!

Behold, the powers of my autism

Thankyou for all the videos!

Love the videos,they've been a big help. Especiqlly since this is my fist time playing a table top rpg, but me and a friend have a question. The guidebook says anything fungi related(mushrooms, etc.) arent plant abilities, but theres no further description on what category that would fall under. Do you, or anyone reading this, have any insight on this?

wont a dynamic effect just allow you to get an expensive ability for much less cost? isnt that kind of unbalanced?

I don't use social media so I didn't know where else to put this suggestion. The scenario from the game Buckshot Roulette would make an awesome Halloween Special. Polumbo already uses a shotgun plus even if she dies you can just be like "LOL bad dream Happy Halloween".

If the avengers are fighting outside of my home, I am screwed... thankfully, most avengers-level threats prefer to battle in the cities, so I'd actually not likely encounter too many of them.

Even in the most RP heavy games, removing presence is a terrible idea imo. My dorky ass can say the most suave line ever but while staring at the ground and muttering so it’s only half heard; and the inverse can be true. Same for our characters.

I would love to see you do a Rock Lee build 👀

Aww yes ... New Video :)

Yessssssssss!

These are some nice homebrew rules to tailor gameplay to your group! I've been a big fan of zones in M&M combat for a while, but I will occasionally still use a map, not for the sake of tactics, but to inspire cool actions from the players based on what they see on the map. I personally like untrained skills because there are some things that should require some training to pull off, Technology and Treatment for example, and I've never been upset to spend the 1 power point for the Jack-of-all-trades Advantage for characters that I feel are good at everything. But keep up the great M&M content! Thank you for helping our community learn this amazing game!
