Game Summary

A OGL derivation of d20, Mutants & Masterminds (M&M for short) uses a point-based character creation system in place of levels and random generation. In addition to feats and skills similar to those found in standard d20, Mutants & Masterminds also offers effect-based powers as character abilities. The power system, along with the changes made to the usual d20 combat rules to streamline and speed combats along, are two of the game's biggest attractions.

5 + 5VecnaJr.. Even if you don’t like the d20 System, you should check out M&M. While true to its roots, it also transcends them in some important ways. Not only that, but Mutants & Masterminds sets a new standard in art and graphic design.
5 + 5Rich Gray. “Fixes” everything I don’t like about running d20.
