Episode 16: Belle Reve Sourcebook: Inside Task Force X’s Prison

Episode 20: Project Prometheus, Mythology Meets Super-Science

Episode 20 looks at Project Prometheus, a 1985 DC Heroes module from Mayfair Games. This one is strange in the best way. Giant eagles, the Minotaur, ancient Minoan mythology, super-science, secret labs, government agencies, and a full Mediterranean chase all packed into one short adventure. I break down what works, what shows its age, and why this messy, ambitious module is still worth reading today. It is not the easiest adventure to run, but it has energy, weirdness, and a real comic book feel. Requested by YouTube viewer DaleRussell5673. https://linktr.ee/gothamdatabase

Episode 19: King of Crime, a Secret Society Module That Still Works

Episode 19 takes a look at King of Crime, one of the early DC Heroes modules from Mayfair Games. This one throws Central City into chaos with the Secret Society of Super-Villains making a full move on the city, and it does a lot of things right. Good pacing, a strong villain lineup, replay value, and a comic-book feel that keeps the pressure on from start to finish. In this episode, I break down what works, what shows its age, and why King of Crime is still a module worth reading and maybe even running today. If you like old superhero adventures, villain team-ups, and modules that actually feel playable, this one is worth a look. #DCHeroes, #GothamAndBeyond, #TabletopRPG

Episode 18: Blood Feud, and Why Old Modules Still Work

This episode of Gotham and Beyond looks at Blood Feud, an early DC Heroes module that still has a lot to teach. I talk about why the adventure works, how it builds pressure, and how you can adapt it for your own custom heroes without needing the exact team it was written for. If you like old superhero modules, city-based trouble, villain teams, and adventures with good bones, this one is worth a second look.

Episode 17: Building a Villain from the Ground up..

In this episode of Gotham & Beyond, I talk about how to build a villain from the ground up for DC Heroes 3rd Edition. Start with motive. Give them one strong edge. Give them a weakness the players can actually find. Most of all, make sure they are already doing something before the heroes ever show up. A good villain should feel like trouble already in motion, not just a stat block waiting for initiative. * Website: https://Gotham-Database.com [https://Gotham-Database.com] * YT: https://Youtube.com/@GothamBeyond [https://Youtube.com/@GothamBeyond]

Episode 16: Belle Reve Sourcebook: Inside Task Force X’s Prison

In this episode of Gotham and Beyond, I take a look at The Belle Reve Sourcebook and why it stands out in the DC Heroes line. This is not bright cape stuff. It is prison walls, government pressure, unstable people, and missions that can go bad fast. We get into Belle Reve itself, Task Force X, the Squad roster, and why this sourcebook feels so useful at the table. If you like the darker side of DC Heroes, this one has a lot to offer. Belle Reve is more than a prison. It is a machine built to control dangerous people and send them into worse situations. * Youtube: https://youtube.com/@GothamBeyond * website: https://Gotham-database.com * X: https://X.com/GothamDatabase #DCHeroes #SuicideSquad #TaskForceX
