Atop a rushing subway car, trapped in a raging apartment fire, crushed beneath the animated oaks of a possessed parkland, superheroes face as much danger from the world around them as they do from their most nefarious villains.
Danger Zones helps you bring your world alive by describing over thirty different urban backdrops for superheroic action, from the classic warehouse to the neighborhood coffee shop to the hospital they’ll need to recover in when the adventure is done. Every location includes a map, as well as useful information on how to use that setting’s unique features in a cunning plot or superhero slugfest.
To help populate your urban jungle, Danger Zones also provides a catalog of colorful characters, ready to come alive in your Mutants & Masterminds, Third Edition campaign!
This might be my favourite setting sourcebook I've ever encountered. It's a series of contemporary places—the bank, the aquarium, a bridge—laid out for use in Mutants & Masterminds (or, frankly, any contemporary setting) with ideas for encounters, complications, and other considerations specific to the location. The end of the book comes with a quick appendix of NPCs/Enemies/Critters to populate into those places as well. Basically, the next time your heroes find themselves going toe-to-toe against villainy in a park or a museum or—shudder—an amusement park? Pop open the book and have at it.
This is going to save me so very prep much time, I cannot even begin to tell you.
