Gotham is a persistent online setting inspired by the world of DC Comics. Our world is a unique entity in its own right, crafted by the players and drawing influence from characters in comics, film, animation, and games. We want our players to have agency over the setting, but maintaining a consistent world requires a little oversight, so we ask that you take a few steps before jumping right into the game.


Step One: Register


Guests can see some of the main components, including our setting compendium and characters, but we require that you register to access the general forums, scripts, and other sub-forums. This allows all of our users a level of privacy. Don't worry. The registration process is quick and painless.




Step Two: Meet the Community


Introduce yourself! Let us know about yourself in the general discussion sub-forum, or come visit us in our chat. You can almost always find someone willing to address any questions you have or help you through the character creation process.


Step Three: Make a Character


We allow each player access to two canon characters (those who already exist in DC multimedia) and an unlimited amount of original characters. You can submit a new character here. We have a handy listing of claimed canons for your convenience as well as a more detailed player/character directory. If you need help finding inspiration, check out our Power 100 of eligible and unclaimed characters and an outline of our rules regarding restricted or limited characters.


If you need help getting bearings, we've put together some handy tips to help players create characters that will help them stand out from the crowd and provide them with the hooks they need to get personal plots rolling.


Step Four: Jump Right In!


We have two avenues for scenes. Forum play is a great way to interact with other players and post solos on your own schedule, while chat play offers a quicker and more social experience. All characters require approval, but we try to be quick with the process. Feel free to hop right into play! Just recognize that your scenes won't be canonized until the approval process has been finished.


We encourage everyone to save and archive chat scenes in the forum for the sake of posterity. If you're looking to leave a personal footprint on the setting, consider contributing to the compendium, and if you're looking to meet new people, our PM system and story arc idea board are always useful.


Welcome to Gotham! We all look forward to getting to know you.
