Mutants and Masterminds News with Jon Leitheusser and Christopher McGlothlin

Jon Leitheusser and Professor Christopher McGlothlin join James Dawsey to talk about the new Gadget Guides series, the upcoming Emerald City and DC Adventures books, and talk about the upcoming Cosmic Handbook book! With so much Green Ronin news, it's amazing we found time to get Christopher to talk about comics, but we couldn't pass up the change to let him educate us a bit more... brace yourselves, it's over an hour of awesome guest hang-time with two Aces of the Green Ronin crew!

Rick Jones and Yad-Ming Mui talk SixGun and Convention Gaming

Happy Chinese New Year! It's the Year of the Snake, and Vigilance Press is back on the air! This podcast covers our upcoming SixGun release (In final layout now) in detail, and we also talk about gaming at conventions and writing short-form adventures as compared to longer form adventures. Rick Jones and Yad-Ming Mui are my gusts. We also outline the publishing schedule for upcoming Vigilance Press releases. A new podcast should follow soon! Happy 2013 everyone!

All-Star Writers Roundtable!

Tonight's podcast brings together Jason Tondro, Jack Norris, Rick Jones, and Aaron Sullivan for a powerhouse discussion on upcoming Vigilance Press products! We also answer some fan questions and discuss some finer points of GM'ing a campaign- NPC Character concepts, adventure design, and more! (Unfortunately, I mis-spoke in describing the METAs project, it is in layout but the first issue will only contain the first collection of the original 30 slots that people bought. Sorry for the confusion! The other characters will appear in the coming issues, and anyone who bought into the project will receive the first three PDFs free!) Also check our our latest Print on Demand offering from Create Space here: Black Chapter! (Also available on Amazon.com- search for "Due Vigilance" and it'll pop up) Sign up for our 4-hour Demo game at next week's Infrno.net here!

AetherCon Special Podcast!

The GM is Tolly ("Timeslip" from our Beacon City games), and James Dawsey plays "Bounce." Join our special guest gamers as we showcase characters from The Challengers as they face off with some dangerous members of Six-Gun! '' Six-Gun is coming soon, but you can find The Challengers as a free download right now from our RPG store! Enjoy the show! Let us know how you like this one compared to the usual approach to our games, I'm curious to see what the difference is between this session and our non-mapped sessions. Thanks again to Tolly for running!

Mutants and Masterminds Kickstarter

Today's Vigilance Press Podcast guest is Jon Leitheusser, who speaks to us about the new Mutants and Masterminds kickstarter project. We also discuss the progress of other M&M-related publications like Supernatural Handbook, Emerald City, and the DC Adventures Universe book! Thanks to Jon for stopping by, and check the kickstarter out at: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1780208966/mutants-and-masterminds-10-year-anniversary-editio (no, the link didn't get cut off, that's how it appears on Kickstarter's site!) * Slight update on the info presented in the podcast. Jon and I spoke briefly about the "Character Promotion" reward listed on the kickstarter. Correcting our information, the characters will *not* have illustrations, they will simply be promoted on the M&M website. I do believe they will accept your own art if you want to submit art with the character, however!
