THE WORLD of the Legacy Continuum
Thirty-five years after the end of the chaotic age of The Prelude (1941-1991), you live in a world gleaming with an impossible order. At its center stands President Alexander Paragon—The Olympian—a living miracle who once held back tsunamis and saved so many lives that nations trust him without question. (Miracles don’t need oversight.) Even so, his shadow stretches farther each year.
Across America, life runs too smoothly. Crime has vanished. Bureaucracy has quietly dissolved. The news speaks in one calm, optimistic voice, and everyone feels safe—uplifted, inspired… and a little hollow. Doubt slips away before it can fully form. Resistance never quite begins. It’s not that no one pushes back—it’s that no one remembers how, or even why they ever would.
Around the world, superpowered figures have already slipped into government roles with uncanny timing, and now the spotlight has found you. They call it destiny. They call it an honor. They call it THE INHERITORS—the next generation of sanctioned heroes. But as you prepare to step forward, you feel it: something ancient watching from behind the curtain. There’s no drumroll. No warning bell. The trap is already set… and you’ve been invited inside.
You’re entering a world where power has a pedigree, heroism has a brand, and destiny has its eye on you. The Legacy Continuum is a Mutants & Masterminds RPG scenario campaign by PXLFORGE. You’ll begin with 150 Power Points—a clean Power Level 10, enough to turn heads and grab headlines. BUT legacy matters here. Each character ALSO gains 30 Legacy Points, usable only for abilities, skills, and advantages.
The Legacy Points come from choosing a meaningful connection to a hero or villain from The Guard or The Ascendancy. Legacy here isn’t about genetics or reputation—it’s about influence. Being around power, whether it was mentorship, protection, pressure, or opposition, shapes how a person thinks, adapts, and survives. The result is a more capable, more prepared individual—someone whose greatness was practiced long before it was public.
So straighten that cape, strike your pose, and lean into the fun. This is a world of big entrances, bold choices, and legacies in the making.
