Become the hero or nemesis of Gotham City. Live in the heart of Gotham, playing as either an anonymous character or a famous figure, from the hero or villain side. Explore Gotham’s dark alleys to investigate mysteries and confront your enemies in heroic and spectacular events. In the end, only your choices matter.

In this role-playing game, you and your friends will create your own characters or play as existing ones. One of you will act as the game master, guiding and narrating the adventure. The game uses the famous D20 system with its CoC evolution, and offers three character creation modes to suit your style and expectations, ranging from a simple detective to a super-powered character.

Each character has six attributes representing both physical and intellectual qualities. The D20 system offers both beginners and experts a fast-paced and dynamic experience. To customize your character, there are 75 paths corresponding to specializations, each with up to five ranks.

This beautiful 243-page book includes rules for character creation, descriptions of various paths, experience rules, and equipment. The second part explains testing and the combat system, the third describes optional rules for things like insanity, interrogation, and surveillance, and the fourth provides advice for players on embodying characters and guidance for game masters on creating and running scenarios. The book concludes with a gallery of characters from the Batman universe.

The Game Master’s Screen

No game master would be complete without a screen! This essential tool, featuring a stunning four-panel illustration by French artist Anthony Jean, immerses you in the heart of a riot at Arkham Asylum, where heroes confront their lifelong enemies.

The screen’s interior panels, dedicated to the game master, summarize actions and their difficulty levels, combat rules, and weapon tables. All special actions are listed, along with sections on damage, protection, and healing. A small index helps quickly locate essential information in the core rulebook.

The Storage Case
