ECORE Central has gone through many iterations. This most current one concentrates on Second Edition Superlink content. For those who do not know what the M&M Superlink is, below is an excerpt from Wikipedia:

Mutants & Masterminds (abbreviated “M&M” or “MnM”) is a superhero role-playing game by Green Ronin Publishing based on a variant of the d20 System by Wizards of the Coast. The game system is designed to allow players to create virtually any type of hero or villain desired.

History

In the late 1990s, Steve Kenson had an idea for a superhero setting that he had been contracted to produce. Through a series of misfortunes, the project fell through and he was left with a partially completed manuscript. Shopping it around to various other publishers, none were interested. Superhero games had lost their popularity. Then he talked to Chris Pramas, President of Green Ronin Publishing, about the setting and history was made.

Chris made the offer to publish the setting if Steve would also create a superhero game system based on the d20 System. Steve agreed and got to work. Over time, it became clear to him that the game would need to be released under the Open Game License. Releasing the game under the d20 Standard Trademark License, as originally planned, would have prohibited the inclusion of ability generation and character advancement rules. Presenting a complete game was seen as taking precedence over having a d20 logo on the product, so the decision was made to use the OGL.

Mutants & Masterminds was published in 2002 and the setting, which was once known as Century City, became Freedom City and was published in 2003. The initial first edition M&M books were art-directed by the design studio Super Unicorn, but it has relinquished this role on all subsequent releases.

A second edition of the Mutants & Masterminds system debuted at GenCon in 2005, and saw wide release in October of that year.
