DC AU Game
I know Marvel Games tend to be more popular, but I can try and have hope...
Way, way long ago on GJ I'd tried opening a DC AU game called Bedlam, which sort of took on a Gotham By Gaslight quality in that it was a DC game placed in Victorian era London. Characters had the powers/abilities they had in regular DC canoon, but they'd been gifted said powers by a society of Masons, a group which had roots in The Guardians, who had been active in ancient Egypt for the purposes of Bedlam. London was a stand-in for Gotham and the Bethlem (Bedlam) Asylum stood in for Arkham. Ra's Al Ghul was one of the main villains of the game and I'd really wanted to fill out the cast so that a wide range of DC characters were represented.
We had people sign up and the game started, but! I'm not the best person at modding things alone, so it closed up relatively quickly. But it's a game that I've always thought could be interesting in the right hands. I suppose I come here wondering if there is anyone who'd like to help me pick this up, or simply pick it up themselves. I'm going to post two of the histories below (BOTH of which need rewriting, I think) and if they spark you interest, pleeeeease let me know! Whether you would just be interested in playing in such a game, or be interested in running/co-running it. I would love to hear your feedback. Please don't be afraid to link others here as well!
Thank you!
