The Gotham Database: September 2025

Not every fight needs fists.

Some battles happen in silence. No bullets. No batarangs. Just thoughts colliding in the dark.

That’s Telepathy, found on page 64 of the DC Heroes core book.

Welcome & Quick Note

Welcome, if you are looking for just the podcast, check out the menu at the top to see all episodes. Otherwise, read on and enjoy the blog!
This is where I dump all the crazy ideas, write-ups, comic deep-dives, and homebrew madness I’ve cooked up over the years. You’ll find everything from personal game sessions and wild fan theories to breakdowns of TV shows, comic arcs, and whatever else I’ve mashed into my world. My brain (and my GM Binder) is packed with concepts, tweaks, and stuff that probably shouldn’t work—but somehow does.

Most of my write-ups are built around Batman: The Role-Playing Game. Why? Because it’s a stripped-down, no-nonsense version of the rules that gives a creative GM like me room to breathe, improvise, and throw in whatever I want. Need something pre-made? Sometimes I’ll pull from DC Heroes 3E, but honestly, I prefer forging my own path.

You’ll probably run into stuff that doesn’t “belong” in the DC Universe. GI Joe? Sure. Transformers? Why not. If it fits my vision, it’s in. And comics? Absolutely. Sometimes it’s just inspiration for a villain’s plot. Other times I’m pulling panels straight into game mechanics. If a story hits hard—or breaks something open in my head—you better believe it’s getting dissected somewhere on this page.

If you want to hear me ramble about my current games, world-building experiments, comic rants, or whatever’s bouncing around in my skull, check out The Gotham & Beyond Podcast. That’s where I talk shop, share game updates, and maybe even drop a few GM secrets.

Welcome to my world—grab a stack of comics, prep your dice, and let’s break some rules.
