Fly into super-heroic battle with Mutants & Masterminds! You and your friends take on the roles of super-powered heroes in a world of criminal masterminds, paranormal terrorists, destructive brutes, and other insidious villains. You get to thwart their evil plans and bring them to justice!

Since 2002, Mutants & Masterminds has earned its title as the World’s Greatest Superhero RPG, inspiring countless game sessions and winning many awards for excellence. The Deluxe Hero’s Handbook is the revised and expanded core rulebook of the game’s Third Edition and it gives you everything you need to have your own super-heroic adventures:

  • A flexible and powerful system for creating the hero that you want to play.
  • A huge variety of super powers, skills, and advantages to choose from and customize.
  • A core system that emphasizes action and uses only a single 20-sided die.
  • Integrated rules for gadgets, vehicles, and headquarters.
  • Ready-to-play archetypes and a Quickstart Character Generator if you want to get to the action even faster.
  • Advice for Gamemasters on creating and running your own adventure series.
  • Introductions to Mutants & MasterMinds premier settings, Emerald City and Freedom City.
  • Two brand new adventures, Ghost Town by Seth Johnson and Time of the Apes by Christopher McGlothlin.

Since this book is Out of Print it would be nice to have a Print on Demand option available.

I'm looking at the current "mega bundle"...
https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/410152/Mutants--Masterminds-PDF-MegaBundle?src=hottest

Is this Deluxe Hero's Handbook the better option for someone looking to make 3pp M&M content?

I mean that bundle looks glorious, but I want to make stuff to sell and prefer to have the most up to date version of the rules.

Seriously, no POD for your core rulebook? That's the sign of an Undead system ( only exist to milk the current player base ).

It is offset printed. Not all games are POD.

It's Out of Print right now. So a PoD version would be a nice option.

POR files are for Hero Lab, which is a character builder and combat tracker. When you buy Hero Lab, you can select one of their available licenses (and you can purchase additional licenses if you play multiple game systems). The product is old and dated, and I do not know if the M&M license is even still available for it. But despite its age, it's a good app that really simplifies the complexities of M&M.

After purchasing this item I have made several attempts to download the file. Unfortunately, every time I try to open the pdf I am told the file is corrupted and unable to be opened.

I have the regular hero's handbook that I purchased a few years ago. What is the main difference between that one and this deluxe version? Is it just the Introductions to Emerald City and Freedom City plus two brand new adventures, or is there more? just curious....

Steven: This version has typos and errata corrected, plus it includes an updated version of the random character generator that was previously only available in the GM Kit. Plus, it includes the overviews and adventures for Emerald City and Freedom City. Sorry this took so long to get answered, I didn't know there was a comment! -- Jon Leitheusser, M&M Developer

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
