"I sit in my chair and ponder strategies, both sublime and horrid, in all to test the mettle and courage of these so-called champions of freedom, these Avengers, these Titans, these X-Men, and many others. I ponder Nietzsche and what he once wrote: What does not hurt me only makes me stronger."

"Indeed it does....."

Finally, Ronin Arts has released Mutants and Masterminds: Villainous Archetypes 3 in PDF format. I have the first two VA publications and will use them quite extensively along with number three in the near future.

Copies can be purchased at Green Ronin Publishing. Villainous Archetypes 1 and 2 can be purchased through Ronin Arts itself. The later 2 are in PDF format.

I love that Demoness on the front cover. I look forward to her archetype and modifying her in my M&M game.
