100 years ago, they vanished. No one knew why, no one knew how -- no one knew anything. The scientists were stunned, hell the world was stunned, and as for myself, I knew it was a moment that would haunt our history. My name is Betty Anders, a small-town teacher with an intrepid husband. David and I lived our peaceful, uneventful lives in Nebraska: I taught, while he pursued his research in biogenetic engineering. His breakthrough discovery -- quantum entangled botany -- gave us hope for a brighter, more sustainable future... which turned to utter fear when the government took it too far. Of course they did. Our remaining peace evaporated when the missiles started falling, fired by cruelly-intentioned leaders of the Alliance. I know what you're thinking... WHAT freaking missiles? But bear with me, there's a lot to cover, and not a lot of time. Soon we found ourselves confined to David's bunker, frantically searching for any information. Who was left? How had the fallout altered the landscape? I couldn't help my mind go to the simple prevailing truth that my husband's scientific break- through is now the most important piece of knowledge on the planet. As we brace ourselves to leave the bunker, I wonder, above all, if these events are somehow linked to the great mystery of what happened with the Native Americans those 100 years ago. While David and I find our place in this post-apocalyptic world, we need your help in summoning the courage to push forward as I have a feeling that the lines of history are all converging on this moment in time.

All that is required for evil to flourish is for good folk to do nothing. When society fails--when corruption or hatred or apathy take root--the helpless and the marginalized suffer first. And all too often heroes must rise from the ranks of the dispossessed, not to impose their will on others, but to provide the same safety and justice so many others take for granted. The Vigilante's Handbook is a sourcebook of street-level action and adventure for your Mutants & Masterminds campaign. This book provides everything you need to stand up and push back against the overwhelming corruption and inequality that threatens so many, often without the deep pockets or impressive powers the four-color heroes rely on. This sourcebook features guidelines for creating street-level vigilantes, from low-powered brawlers to high-powered but maligned heroes who work from the shadows, and optional rules for overwhelming enemies with your menacing presence or fearsome reputation and for gauging and tracking your hero's reputation. Vigilante's Handbook also looks at what kinds of predators prowl the urban jungle, from corrupt cops and politicians to criminal masterminds and assassins, and introduces a flexible template system, separating your villains' role from their powers. The world of Earth-Prime is also expanded with a gazetteer of Ferroburg, a city of corruption and struggle in desperate need of heroes. Welcome to a world where your compassion, your human decency, and your ability to take a punch mean more than your satellite headquarters and fancy costumes. Welcome to the streets.

And for this transition to be orderly, there are humans and vampires ready to take care of any "irregularities"... with the power of rock & roll!

The village elders suspect the kidnapped have been taken to an ancient and vile Keep that lies hidden within the dreaded Eastern Forest, for they alone remember the old tales of screaming witch-lights that blazed and danced across the sky in times of yore! Even now, strange ululations cry out as fleeting shadows ride the wind. Who among you will brave the bowels of that foul Keep, where unspeakable horrors must surely await, in an attempt to save those that have been taken? Sky ov Crimson Flame takes your woefully unprepared peasant adventurers through a grueling night of horror! Battle your way through flayed madmen, suffer the suckling bite of winged cherub head-bats, journey through the stygian depths of a dreadful keep filled with secrets and macabre mayhem at every turn, and attempt to put an end to a ritual that will bring about an eon of Chaos!
