Description
From the back cover:
Dozens of supervillains dream of destroying the Earth, but only the madman Omega, Lord of the Terminus beyond space and time, has the means to destroy four Earths, setting in motion a cascade effect that spells doom for the omniverse.
With the Freedom League battling the Crime League in orbit, the Atom Family in Timbuktu, and the Next-Gen studying for finals, it falls to your team of superheroes to put an end to Omega's dastardly schemes! Time of Crisis, a world-spanning adventure for Mutants & Masterminds roleplaying game, challenges your heroes to save not just one earth, but four!
Don your masks, unfurl your capes, and kick-start your power armor. It's time to save the worlds!
Although Time of Crisis is appropriate for any superhero setting, it has been designed for use with the Freedom City sourcebook.

Quotes (from this video)
- Hello, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the discriminating gamer.
- My top 50 GMT games of all time, 30 to 21.
- This is really the game, I think, that I cut my teeth on coin with um and really learned how to how these systems worked.
- It's not as difficult as and and and treacherous to learn as I thought it would be.
- And I really loved that tension of trying to to to do as much as you can, but having to really pick and choose because at any moment, the game could end.
- But critically, even though the game looks like a civilization building game at its heart, it is a take that game. You are constantly playing take that here.
- And it is hilarious. It is so much fun trying to build things up and then you're playing these cards and your opponents are just swatting you down.
- It's a very unusual game. I don't know that I've ever played a game quite like Atlantic Chase.
- I really felt bad about it. This is one maybe I need to require at some point.
- So, you've got to be very careful as you play this game because the cards you play to help you can end up helping somebody else.
- This is probably the most popular game when I take it to my West Civ one game nights.
- Well, what do you think ladies and gentlemen?
- If you really like what we do here, please check out my other channel that is Cody Carlson PhD where we talk about history, military history, books on history. I even post some of my lectures on there.
