When a group of players click and the posts keep roling in, that's what GM dreams are made of.

"The world needs a Batman."
A M A N D A W A L L E R
The Batman is an urban legend.

At least, this is what the majority of the world has believed since rumours of a giant bat-like creature preying on the superstitious and cowardly criminals of Gotham City began in the late sixties. Since that date, the rumours have persisted, if not grown as the entity known as the Batman began its caped crusade against the crime families of Gotham. A one-man army, the man beneath the cowl, the renowned billionaire playboy; Bruce Wayne, had spent most of his youth training his body and mind to avenge the death of his parents. Travelling the world, he accumulated the skills and talents required to wage his war before returning to Gotham to strike fear in the hearts of those who stood on the wrong side of the law. But Bruce Wayne was only a man, and men eventually become old.

A life of masquerading as a charming billionaire and a growling vigilante took a toll on the heir to the Wayne fortune and it eventually forced Bruce to retire his cape and cowl. However, fate would intervene as a young man named Terrance McGinnis was pursued by a gang onto the Wayne Estate grounds. Outnumbered, McGinnis was surprised to find himself aided by an elder man as Bruce Wayne successfully fended off the gangbangers become succumbing to the strain of the fight. Helping the older man back inside his home, Terry stumbled upon Wayne's secret.

Enraged by the young man's intrusion, Bruce banished Tery from his estate. It wasn't until Terry returned home after school to find his father murdered that he sought Bruce Wayne again. Pleading for the elder man's help, Terry appealed to Bruce not as a man but as Gotham's Dark Knight. Still, Bruce denied the young man and when Bruce had fallen asleep that night, Terry broke into the Batcave and stole a prototype Batsuit.

On that night, the Batman was reborn.

My story will pick up a few years later, revolving around Terry's career as he transitions from not only being under Bruce's wing but also from a teenager into a young man. Due to the anachronisms in place by having Terry and Barbara operating at the same time, I will be cherry-picking from both Bruce's and Terry's rogue galleries as I tell a story of legacy in Gotham City.

C H A R A C T E R M O T I V A T I O N S & G O A L S:

While I had a solid story to tell with Namor, I struggled to stay above water with a character I honestly did not know enough about and was trying wholly to reinvent to fit a certain ideal I had projected onto him. With Terry McGinnis and the Batfamily as a whole however, I am far more versed in their stories, personalities, rogues and just Gotham in general. By doing Terry, I felt it would feel fresher than simply trying my hand at another version of Bruce which this game has already had two attempts at and additionally I couldn't likely do anything better than Master Bruce himself had done in UOU.

Instead, I opted to focus on a legacy and make Batman a character which spans the decades. This, of course, will lead to some anachronisms because of Terry operating as Batman while Barbara is still Batgirl, however, overall I feel it's a good fit for both the game and for me. As many of you are aware, Dick Grayson is my favourite character, however, I didn't feel as though he would be the right fit for the game especially with the Batman sized hole. Using Terry, he has enough similarities with Dick Grayson that I feel it allows me to scratch that itch while still playing a Batman and even being able to borrow from some of the Spider-Man feel due to where Terry is in his life compared how Bruce Wayne is traditionally portrayed.

The obvious influence of this story is Batman Beyond, but I'll also be drawing on The Batman, Batman: The Animated Series, Batman White Knight, Batman: Hush, Batman: Year One, The Dark Knight Returns, and The Nolan films. Additionally, I'll be looking at the newer DCAU films for inspiration and direction as they have a decent model for streamlining years of canon. Expect to see villains both familiar and redefined for this new continuity as I blend Terry's Neo-Gotham with the traditional city. Gotham has always been a city that transcends a definitive time era and this iteration will be no different.

Once regarded as Gotham's Most Elligible Bachelor, Bruce Wayne is the sole heir of the Wayne Family Fortune. Residing alone on Wayne Estate, the one-time playboy is now a shell of his former self. Grizzled and weary, a life time as the original
BATMAN took a toll on the man.

WELCOME TO THE MASQUERADE

During the course of Season One, Terry battled the disturbed individual later dubbed the MAD HATTER. The Hatter, a Dr. Jervis Tetch had created the means to control the human mind. Striking a bargain with one of Gotham's reigning crimelords, the BLACK MASK, the Hatter allowed the Black Mask to use technology in exchange for payment. This payment came in the form of a young girl, a friend of Terry McGinnis'. Working together, Bruce and Terry managed to rescue the girl but not without gaining the attention of the Black Mask who has now put a price on the Bat's pointy cowl.

Entertaining the notion of staying in the current thread for a moment, I feel like if we go with Option #1, in which our IC has just shy of 300 posts (and some of which are really no longer in continuity per se) then we're going to need some solid summaries in the vein of "last time, on Absolute..." along with a clear (read: hyperlinked) jumping in point for new players.

"Click here for the Season 2 opening post" or some such.

Otherwise, I feel like jumping in as a new player in a game with 300 posts would be off-putting. We'd have to build into the marketing what we do to be open/accommodating to new players.

In that vein, regardless of whether a new or old thread, perhaps having each player write up a synopsis of their character, along with their post catalog so that people have links if they want to learn more about Character X.


I've been cooking these up for such an occasion...




@Lord Wraith I'm gonna call you out the most on this because you are a man and I know you can take it. We joke about your protective claim over Gotham but its actually a problem. Gotham is much bigger than Batman my dude, but you are potentially limiting new people's possibilities of the characters that they want to play. Not to mention any one's real hopes of playing someone else in the Bat fam.


I do feel the need to point out that we have Bounce utilizing Dick Grayson with an original Robin Concept and up until recently we had a Batgirl. I'm not against players in Gotham, I'm against the game becoming focused around Gotham. There are so many other corners of the world yet to be explored that it seems a waste to have four or more players focused on Gotham.

Now that said, due to the nature of my story and the timeframe, if someone wants to play Selina Kyle, well they are going to be shot down. But if someone approached me with a well thought out pitch for a different Catwoman, I'd entertain it. In the Discord, I shoot down ideas relating to Gotham because they're half-baked whims. Every submitted sheet for Gotham has been treated fairly and judged accordingly.

Sensation & Wonder is a roleplay based upon the structures and mechanics of previous games run under the Absolute Comics banner but with a goal of overcoming the past games' biggest weakness; a lack of collaborative writing. As such, Sensation & Wonder is a collaborative linear sandbox roleplay that seeks to merge and mix the lore of your favourite DC and Marvel characters into one living cohesive world. The idea behind this RP is not to embody our favourite heroes to simply retell iconic stories and origins but to take these characters and make them our own. In fact, the goal of the RP is for players to take their favourite characters and re-imagine them to tell stories together. We only ask that the 'heart' of the character remains the same. Players will take the roles of their favourite characters and tell stories in collaboration with other players in order to develop and grow the world.

How heavily mixed these elements are is dependent upon the players as the world and its lore is shaped by you and your stories. Do Bruce Wayne and Tony Stark know each other? Has Lady Shiva trained with Danny Rand? Have Thor and Superman gone toe to toe? These are questions for you to ask yourself and they can only be answered as the RP unfolds!

Heroes have been a part of our culture since the dawn of time. Each and every culture passed down tales of the mortal and the immortal, their struggles and inevitable triumphs over the forces of evil. Tales of honour, of love, of defeat, deception and even betrayal. We have myths, legends and numerous amounts of lore detailing the feats and downfalls of each of these heroes. When one mentions heroes, names of classical figures come to mind but this world is and always has been home to more.

No one can be sure of the first time alien life visited Earth, it may have been before recorded history, it may have been within the last century. One thing can be sure, that before the last decade we had all but forgotten they had been here before and they returned with fervour. The names of the first superheroes had all but been forgotten, those who fought in the great wars and worked behind enemy lines in times of tension. But, those who rose to push back the alien forces at the beginning of the decade became immortalized as THE JUSTICE LEAGUE. United by a common cause, these remarkable individuals put their differences aside and learned to work together, overcoming the single greatest threat to mankind this world had seen to date.

And the world's eyes were once again opened.

Costumed heroes once thought to be urban legends and menaces by the press and authorities alike suddenly took on a new reverence in the eyes of the public and so their names went from being spoken in hushed whispers to exclaimed excitedly as they flew overhead. With the emergence of the Justice League and the predominance of these masked heroes, so too did their foes become more and more ostentatious. Escalation and accountability for these heroes began to become a hot button topic and so THE AVENGERS were put forth to calm the people. A group of government-sanctioned heroes, hand-picked and selected based on their merits and abilities, these heroes' identities were securely registered with the United Nations and are held accountable for their actions beneath a mask.

Over the last few years, the rosters of both teams have changed, some have even swapped from one team to the other and while they are by no means adversaries, the two do operate under different means. Aliens invasions and killer death robots have come and gone, but one thing remains certain, the Era of the Superhero is here to stay.

Option #2 seems to be the consensus... But I refuse.

I vote Option #1 to be a rebel.

Then again I'm barely in the game so I doubt my vote counts for shit.


There's a few sure bet jump-ons for season 2 already though, keeping momentum and growth.

I wouldn't want to have a huge amount of downtime before opening up the season 2 IC to posts though.

Perhaps even put up the Interest Check before the end of Season 1 as well.


I agree with the above as well. I think I've previously expressed on the Discord that I have one more post to wrap up my Batman Tie-In then I'm solely working on Season Two prep until the Season's Crisis ends.

Ideally we should have a rather smooth transition from one Season to the next without too many people sitting waiting.
