Gaslight DC for Genesys

My sons and I were inspired to create a FFG Genesys RPG Setting by a now defunct MOBA game called Infinite Crisis. This game was set in a crossroads of worlds and allowed for players to play DC Heroes and villains from all aspects of the DC Universe.
Two great Sites for info on the MOBA and thus great information for the setting.


One of the most compelling was its focus on the victorian or gaslight genre of their heroes and villains. This is best detailed the comic book Gotham by Gaslight.



This is now a movie.


So we started creating characters and NPCs and then formed some adventure ideas around it. We made changes to the way it normally would be. We hope they are fun,

In this would we made Harley Quinn the maddened mastermind and the Joker is a savage brute. Will either of these be your Batman's arch nemesis?

One difficulty was building Batman. Batman is just two awesome. Even Year One Batman has all the potential to be one of the big 3. So we tossed that difficulty out of the window.

In Genesys we decided to go with playing "a" Batman. We decided we would make a series of them and you could play the aspect you want. Our starter one, for instance is a Batman of high society that focused on his station in life being his primary tool to fight crime. That is a pretty different outlook. The same desire to fight crime is his flaw. It is a vengeful compulsion. He can’t help it.

We will look at more. A Batman that focuses on his combat ability to smack up the ruffians is sure to come…

Anyway here is the content created thus far. Characters and NPCs are meant to be cut out and glued onto both sides of 3x5 index cards. Contact us if you want a higher quality version.
