Ronin Round Table: Atlas of Earth-Prime–Diversifying the Roster

/in , /by

With various Dragon Age products in various stages of production but without a lot of news to give folks right now, I’m going to take today’s Ronin Round Table to talk a bit about something else I do a lot: making superheroes and supervillains. Particularly, I want to talk about making superheroes and supervillains from countries that aren’t the US (and to a lesser extent Canada, the UK, and other major Western English-speaking nations).

Atlas of Earth-Prime: The Caribbean

/in , /by

Atlas of Earth-Prime: The Caribbean (PDF)Maybe your heroes need an island holiday? Too bad, since they’ll find plenty to do as the Atlas of Earth-Prime takes us to the Caribbean! It is the center for a secret spiritual war between the Loa, the powerful spirits of Voodoo, and stronghold of Siren’s arch-foe Baron Samedi. Go up against the Jamaican posse run by the Snowman or help local heroes Coral and Hurican fight criminals and natural disasters. Explore the mysteries deep in the heart of the Bermuda Triangle, and visit the fantastic Utopia Isle and its inhabitants. Much more than just a "day at the beach"!

Ronin Round Table: Back Issues

/in , /by

The Freedom City sourcebook for the second edition of Mutants & Masterminds was published in 2006. In the eight years since, Green Ronin has published numerous books and files expanding upon the world we’ve come to call Earth-Prime, and that process is ongoing, with the creation of Freedom’s "sister city," Emerald City, on the West Coast, and the publication of the Atlas of Earth-Prime, detailing the regions and nations outside the borders of the two great super-cities. Joining these two products (since the Atlas will eventually be collected into a single book) is the forthcoming new edition of Freedom City. Together, the three will form the main source material for the Earth-Prime setting, with some additional information on space, aliens, and places beyond Earth in the Cosmic Handbook.

Chris and Nicole are flying back to Seattle from a well-deserved break on the beach in Puerto Vallarta, so let’s welcome them home with a new Atlas of Earth Prime PDF: Mexico!

Atlas of Earth-Prime: Mexico (PDF)Go South of the Border with the Atlas of Earth-Prime to the land of the Snake and the Eagle, where the mysterious mastermind known as Ghostwalker has been shaping mystical forces for generations, powers that are now coming to fruition. The Weeping Woman La Llorona haunts the guilty souls of Ciudad Juarez, the high-tech #Hashtag fights crime (and blogs about it) in western Mexico, while Viento Negro is the dark-clad hero of Monterrey. Who is the dread undead crime-lord Tepalcatli and what are his schemes for the Silent Zone and the Mask of Aztlan?

Note: One piece of art is delayed, but if you pick it up now we’ll let you know when you can re-download with the final art.

Atlas of Earth-Prime: Canada *and* Out of Strife, Prosperity

/in , /by

It’s Two-fer, uh, Wednesday, here at Green Ronin Publishing, with two PDF releases in our Green Ronin Online Store.

Atlas of Earth-Prime: Canada (PDF)

Visit a world not our own, but strangely familiar, a world of heroes and villains, of wonders and dangers, and limitless adventure! The Atlas of Earth-Prime is a trip around the world of the Freedom City and Emerald City settings for the Mutants & Masterminds Superhero RPG, looking at different regions and their heroes, villains, features, and opportunities, giving you a whole world to explore for your game. All for less than the cost of a new comic book!

This week the Atlas of Earth-Prime goes north to Canada, where the Cathedral of Pain haunts the streets of Quebec and Dominion City hovers high in the air. Learn the secrets of the Centurion’s Sanctum, the mysterious Aerie of the Avians, and the torments of Project Inferno, and go up against the decidedly im-polite Team Canada, who are looking for a good fight, and maybe a chance to be heroes, too. All this and the menace that is…the Mad Maple!

 

Chronicle System: Out of Strife, Prosperity (PDF)

Whether they are a peaceful agrarian House known for their vast fields of grain and fine warhorse bloodlines, or a sinister House notorious for their extravagant wealth and rumors of assassins in their employ, noble Houses are defined by the kinds of Wealth Holdings they invest in. With more than sixty new and updated Wealth Holdings, Out of Strife, Prosperity provides a fantastic resource for detailing out the Houses in your chronicle. Out of Strife, Prosperity is the second of our Chronicle System series of PDFs, for use with the Chronicle System engine that powers our popular A Song of ice & Fire Roleplaying system!
