About the adventure
The world is changing. What was meant to be progress has only taken civilization to the brink of dissolution. The wealthy exploit the downtrodden to feed their endless hunger for power. Humanity is more clannish and adversarial than ever as unity gives way to isolationism. Kindness and logic are less popular ideals than nationalism and dogmatic bigotry. The American Experiment is coming to its end in the familiar fashion by which all empires crumble. Distrust is the only unifying sentiment and fewer people every day are willing to fight to save a dying humanity. In Earth's darkest hour, a few bright sparks of light emerge to start the fire of change. Mighty heroes more powerful than any seen before rise to right the wrongs which have twisted society for so long and give the world hope for a better future. The road is hard, the battles rough, and the odds bleak, but there are none better suited to save humanity than you. Good thing, too, since there are none others left to try. Justice is an alternate-universe take on the most famous heroes of the DC Comics setting, putting the players in the role of the most iconic figures early in their heroic careers as they come together to solve threats greater than any one of them. Beginning at Rank 4, you will be the most powerful heroes in the world right off the bat and will determine how justice is defined for humanity's heroes moving forward. But beware -- while you may be stronger than any other hero, the villains are another story! So find common ground fast with your new allies because the only way you will save the world is together!

About me
Hi, I'm Leo! I've been doing games for over thirty years, and was GM for the vast majority of that time on account of there almost never being anyone else willing to run things. Over the decades, I've become accustomed to many different playstyles so I like to think that I'm pretty versatile. The most important thing, though, is that everyone is having fun and I do my best to ensure that the game is enjoyable for all involved. I spend entirely too much time gathering GM resources, so I'm bringing materials to the table like VTT licenses, animated maps, fitting music, and occasionally art if I can find the time to make it. I don't homebrew a lot, myself, but I'll always take requests under consideration. To me, the players are the main characters and I'm always looking for opportunities to help them shine. Nothing in the setting or NPC list should take up more attention as far as I'm concerned. Message me if you're interested in a game!

Creating your character
We will have a Session 0 before play and you won't need anything more than a rough concept. From there, you will create Rank 4 characters on Demiplane using any of the official printed material (which you may access using my materials). If you are hoping for an Unexpected Power, please talk to me first. Similarly, while I will not explicitly veto Narrative Powers, those must absolutely be cleared with me. You are explicitly encouraged to recreate a known DC hero. While that would presumably mean Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, etc., you are absolutely free to take on the role of different heroes who will be the major icons for this setting.
Current team roster: Speedy (Green Arrow + speedster) Ghost Lantern (Green Lantern + Ghost Rider)
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Characters will be created in Demiplane and linked to Roll20 which will be our VTT. Discord will be used for the voice part of live games and will also be the place for play-by-post in-character channels between sessions (if you so choose). You will need accounts for Discord, Demiplane, and Roll20 but you should technically only need to to run a web browser for everything (though it's easier if you install the Discord client). The accounts are free. A decent headset is highly recommended so as to improve the audio quality of the sessions.
What Leo brings to the table
Once you join the game groups in Discord and Roll20 respectively, you will have access to all the necessary resources in each for character creation, play, and advancement. I will have provide maps and tokens for visual aid and music for audio.
Homebrew rules
We will use the "Getting Schooled" variant rule for character advancement to reflect regular, gradual improvements. I also will not allow negative Ability scores lower than -1. You must give me an incredibly good reason for -2 and I will still likely not accept it. Additionally, no character may benefit from more than 2 powers which grant them Edges on the same action. You may accumulate additional Edges situationally, but they may not be granted by your own powers. Finally, when constructing an Iconic Item, you may not take more than 2 Restrictions, you may not give it powers with a Rank requirement more than 1 higher than your current Rank, and you may only give it powers from the Basic set and from no more additional sets than your Rank.

Safety
How Leo creates a safe table
We will begin with a Session 0 so that we can have introductions, go over our expectations, devise our list of Lines & Veils, build characters if necessary, and hopefully kick-start the role-playing so that things can roll into RP over the Discord server. A link to the RPG Consent Checklist for this game group will be sent out prior to Session 0 so that we can have those taken under consideration. During live play sessions, there will be at least one break around the middle of the session for at least 10 minutes. And at all times, I keep an Open Door policy and I will have private channels for each individual player where they can communicate with me.
