Gotham Knightfall

[Skids]

Knightfall



We get semi-automatic weapons, they get automatics. We get Kevlar body armor, they get armor-piercing rounds. And you're wearing a mask and jumping off rooftops.

Gordon was right

Things in Gotham are getting worse, not better.

Things may have been bad in the Narrows before, but now no one goes there who doesn’t have to. Street crime isn’t just something to be feared there, it’s a fact of life. Worse still, something has changed in Gotham. Criminals with more and more elaborate raisons d’être are showing up all the time. Worst of all is the Joker, whose recent slaughter left countless men, women and children dead who’d just been looking for a fun night out at the circus. The Scarecrow seems to thrive on the fear and suffering of others. Perhaps least sinister of all is the man who calls himself The Riddler, who leaves clues to everything in his crimes. The one thing these clues don’t point to is just what he’s trying to prove and to whom.

Then, there’s the Catwoman. Perhaps the most dangerous of all, as her modus operandi seems to change on a whim. One night may find her embroiled in a simple act of theft, only to see it followed the next night by the emancipation of mistreated animals.

Of course, it seems unlikely that these will be the last of this new breed of criminal to threaten Gotham.

The criminals don’t have free reign of Gotham City though. One man has set himself up as Gotham’s protector; the Batman. He does not stand alone though. Against the Batman’s wishes, Barbara Gordon continues to try to help with the fight against crime in her adopted home city. There’s a newcomer on the scene, too. First discovered masquerading as a mob enforcer, the Black Canary fights crime equipped with nothing more than martial arts skills that almost rival those of Batman himself and who knows who else will rise up to join the fight?

And then there’s the whole world in between. All kinds of people make their homes in Gotham from intrepid journalists trying to find the truth about Gotham’s darker side, to the cops and attorneys waging their own war on crime. Each and every one of them has an important part to play in Gotham Knightfall.

Gotham Knightfall is a high quality RPG set in the world of the movie Batman Begins. It is an active board, with some very talented writers. While we are mainly focused on Batman and his allies, we are open to other characters from the wider DCU. As we are trying to stay true to the more realistic world of Batman Begins, however, we do not accept characters with powers. There are many exciting roles still available and in particular, we could do with a Jim Gordon. We can always use more cops and villains.
