New campaign idea: Blades in the Dark, except it’s cyberpunk, except it’s not really Cyberpunk, it’s Batman Beyond (AKA Batman of the Future, AKA the most underrated Batman story of all time.) But the PCs don’t know that until their criminal enterprise starts getting broken up by the Bat.

Only at the end do I tell them the game’s called A Superstitious, Cowardly Lot…

  1. I love this idea. With the right group and the right level of trust and communication, the bait-and-switch can work wonderfully. One of our more memorable campaigns started off as a straight modern-day espionage thing with a reveal in session 6 that brought the Dracula Dossier into play.

  2. certainly interesting, but then a what point does it turn into “kill the bat”? and considering the colorfull gangs in Bat-Beyond, don’t you think the players will suspect? or are you not using them?
