Iron Age Released—It Ain't Easy Being A Superhero
Green Ronin's much-beloved and much-acclaimed superheroes RPG, Mutants & Masterminds, has a new supplement that's bound to put a very different spin on the game should you choose to use it. After the Gold, Silver and Bronze ages of comic books, what's left? That's right: Iron Age.
"Go back to the grim days of the '80s and '90s," says the press release, "when super-vigilantes in leather and chains dispensed harsh justice." Apart from sounding kind of hot, it also intrigues me on a gaming level—I was never really into superhero comic books published at this time, but I can imagine it would be a lot more fun to actually BE part of one of them. Knowing my GM, it'd be a way-cool mixture of The Watchmen, World of Darkness and The Incredibles.
...I think I know what to get him for Christmas.
(P.S. If you're interested in a very informative design journal detailing the creation of the game, you can find the five parts of it here, here, here, here, and here.)

Interesting. I liked what I read of M&M though I've never had a chance to actually play a game.
I'll have to take a look at this.
