The briefing
Gotham is a city of myths. Good
clashes with the twisted, grinning
reflection of evil under eternal
twilight. IT is the front line for an
unending war of justice against
crime. There are people here who
live as absolutes, who give their
lives to higher causes, who push
themselves to the limits of
humanity.
you are not one of those people.
You are the beat cops, the marks,
the dime store vigilantes, the
henchmen, and two-bit crooks
trying to get by in the crossfire of
unstoppable forces and immovable
objects.
This town will break your heart,
take your wallet, carve a smile on
your face to let you bleed out on
the street.
this makes Gotham the perfect
environment for high ambition and
poor impulse control.
Remember, what doesn’t kill you
will probably leave you horribly
scarred and criminally insane.
