THIS MESS WE'RE IN: a post-513 queer as folk game
|
 |
In April 2005 the bonds of a family were stretched and twisted and frayed by time and distance - but these bonds were too strong to break.
Now, over five years later, not much has changed within the extended family unit that had materialized in the Pittsburgh area over the past many years. Liberty Avenue is still a bustling, blooming gayborhood within the metropolis, Debbie Novotny is still playing Mother Hen from her nest in the diner, her son is still happily "married" to a intelligent Carnegie prof, and their adopted son is taking on the world, one college course at a time. And the antihero of all antiheroes? He's still around, tragically as successful and good-looking as ever, working to hold all the frays of the past few years together, if quietly. Elsewhere, two successful women are raising a family outside of the country, and the most infamous member of the past-Pittsburgh Twink Brigade is seemingly constantly en |

route within the 350 miles between Pittsburgh and NYC. If only he could decide where to replant his roots permanently.
Meanwhile, outside of the steel capital of the world, America is undergoing major renovation. With a new presidential administration comes hope for the ever-proud LGBT community, but the recent passing of Proposition 8 in California might prove to be disastrous for the progressive movement, even on the opposite coast. Political tensions are high, lives are continuing even in the midst of the nostalgia for the beginning of the new millennium, and this family is still struggling to include all of each other within their busy schedules. This Mess We're in is a post-513 roleplaying community based on the hit Showtime series Queer As Folk, and looking for fans of the cancelled show to continue the legacy of the well-developed characters we've been missing for four lost seasons. |

Welcome to Gotham City. Once a modern, vibrant metropolis, it's now a tattered shadow of its former self, eaten away from within by the cancers of greed, cowardice, and apathy. For every Jim Gordon, there are a dozen Arnold Flass. Honest prosecutors Harvey Dent and Rachel Dawes fight an endless battle in courtrooms run by corrupt judges with witnesses bought, frightened, or simply killed off.
A score of pretenders still battle in the streets over the fragments of the Falcone empire, but their common criminality pales before a new breed of villains. The monsters Zsasz and Killer Croc prey on the helpless citizens. Assassins Rose Wilson and Cheshire sell their lethal skills to the highest bidders. The living weapon known as Bane expands his power inexorably, breaking all who oppose him. Twisted souls like Ra's al Ghul, Scarecrow, and the Joker seem driven not merely to conquer Gotham but to destroy it.
Against them all stands the Dark Knight, first of a new breed of hero, and he no longer stands alone. Batgirl and the ruthless Huntress have joined the war in the streets, even as the enigmatic Question strikes at corruption in the halls of power.
Gotham Knightfall is a high-quality RPG looking for talented writers. We are set in the world of Batman Begins but welcome characters from the wider DCU who can fit in the gritty, realistic Nolanverse. Heroes, villains, and civilians are all available to play and all have their roles in deciding the fate of Gotham City.

Cronus is on the warpath; and I can't say I blame him. Thought Tartarus would keep him locked up forever? Shows how much you know. Yeah--look, so you were god of whateverland--like I said, that doesn't matter. New name, new job, brand-spanking-new mortality. Welcome to the rest of your life and make the most of it; 'cause it's gonna be a lot shorter than your last one.
