A pathways preview

Welcome to my Batman blog. You'll find information on Features, Leads, Extras, recaps and more here.

This blog is for my game using the Smallville RPG rules over Summer 2011. Everything before this post refers to the 'pilot' version of this chronicle. For those of you coming back, thanks for returning!

The game is about a fictional TV show set in Gotham City. It focuses on some of the more normal inhabitants of Gotham and how they clash with each other as well as Gotham's more famous denizens. These are the cops, lawyers and crooks in the City of the Bat.

I Think We Found Our Theme Song

Even the video would be perfect, if you tweaked the theme from spies to Gotham City...



More discussion about the series and the game itself after the jump...

A Word from the Showrunner

City of the Bat will return this summer with the rest of its first season.

If you haven't already, please check out the blog for my Leverage game, Sabotage.

Episode 1.2 - "In the Cradle"

No cold open. Though we do see a new Lead in the credits. Becca Barnes looks lawerly and young so she's probably a law student or intern or something.

Today's guest star....

Welcome our latest addition to our the family

Our new relationship map, featuring Becca, the long-lost daughter of Dr. Jonathan Crane...

Spoilers for "In the Cradle"

 I used the Episode map suggestion from the Smallville RPG to write this episode. I have vague ideas of what I want each episode to be about (and which villains, if any, to Feature) but mapping out the relationships really helped me loop in stuff characters care about fighting over and willing to challenge each other for.

We're also adding a new Lead to the game, which I am in the process of creating. She's the strange outlier on the relationship map, but I already have some ideas on how to get her involved.

The Episode map is below the jump. If you don't want to be spoiled, stop reading here.
