M&M 2e PDF Preview: Sinister Simian
Because we know you're getting the shakes waiting for the forums to be back up and in many cases also waiting to hold M&M 2e in your hot little hands, how's about another PDF Preview, villainous ape-style?
The Sinister Simian is a PL10 villain with super-smarts, super-strength, and a super-grudge against you, puny hu-man.

Atomic Think Tank Temporarily Down
The Atomic Think Tank forums currently have a database issue, which is being resolved. This wasn't a planned downtime, but it is also not the result of a malicious attack of any sort. We're going to take this opportunity to move the forums to a different server, which should hopefully be finished in the next day or two. We'll keep you posted.
In all the excitement I see we forgot to format and post today's Super-Vision. We'll get that up as soon as possible today.

M&M 2e Developer's Journal #14
Today Steve Kenson writes all about the drawbacks of heroism, and we don't mean a little old lady suing you because she didn't even want to cross the street and you bruised her arm with your super-strength, you big jerk. That would be a complication, not a drawback. A drawback would be, well, why don't you read the article...

M&M 2e Developer's Journal #9
Since we don't want Steve's head to explode while he waits to hold M&M 2e in his hands, we're going to make him post his Developer's Journals even more often. This next one focuses on powers, giving us several examples. Heck, if you've always wanted to play an invisible teleporting ghost who can animate objects and strike waves of fear and nausea into your enemies, you can get started right now!
