An average product- i did like the characters and how they interacted with each other, with one notable exception...Spring Heeled Jack himself. The artwork of the character...well he doesn't fit with the feel of the rest of the group and i would think twice before using this product. I'd recommend changing the group up a bit or using them as twisted individuals to add to other villain groups. Having said all that three of the characters presented are genuinely creepy and original.

This is a great product. A team of (varying degrees) evil mercenaries with magical powers, the group is pretty useful anywhere you run a supers game that does, indeed, have magical powers as any part of the game. I have two magical characters in my campaign, I as I read the entries, I could pretty easily start coming up with scenarios where at least one of them would run afoul of this group.

What I like even more is that they work as a team, but using any of the characters individually isn't a bad option either. They are a bit on the Vertigo side of squickiness scale, but the degree to which you push the issue is obviously up to you.

For even more fun, there is a chart that tracks the relationships between the characters, so that you get a better feel for how to run them as a team and how they would react to one another as well as the PCs. That's a nice addition to the mix.

Beware, for the Oktobermen haunt the night committing mystical crimes for their own benefit. If a group of occult-themed supervillains fits into your Mutants & Masterminds campaign, the Oktobermen may be just what you need for supernatural scenarios.

Due Vigilance, Issue 1: the Oktobermen is a 21-page PDF (19-pages if you remove the cover and OGL page) for the Mutants & Masterminds (3rd Edition) RPG written by Jack Norris and published by Vigilance Press. This is the first in Vigilance Press’ Due Vigilance line for M&M (3rd).

The layout is primary traditional two columns and the text is a bit tight but not so much as to impede legibility. The art throughout is full color with each of the major characters getting their own illustration. A set of stand-up figures for the team is included as well.

The product begins with the group background and a colorful and useful relationship chart showing what each of the six members of the Oktobermen think of each other. Then it moves into the team members themselves, arranged alphabetically, which means that the team’s leader, Spring-Heeled Jack is the last member detailed (which struck me as strange).

The team’s members range from PL 10 to PL 12 though half of them are tricky and support characters rather than straight up combat characters. Using them to their best advantage will take careful reading and looking and how the characters’ powers interact with each other. That being said, the characters are quite interesting and have a very superhero occult/supernatural horrorish vibe.

Springheel Jack, the leader, is a half-demon alive for centuries who is seeking to gather enough souls to be ‘promoted’ to full demon and has organized the Oktobermen to back his plans to do such. They all have their own agendas as well but are willing to work with Jack . . . for now.

Various plot hooks and discussions thereof are included with the characters along with a short scenario framework that concludes the product.

Disclosure: As a featured reviewer for RPGNow/DriveThroughRPG, I received my copy of this product for free from the publisher for the purpose of this review.
