Wrights & Whites FTW!

We (the Wrights) and our good friends in Christ (the Whites) took on the roles of Batman, Robin, Batgirl, and the GCPD to thwart evil-doers in our latest playthru of Gotham City Under Siege! By the start of Act 2, we were facing down a daunting list of rogues, including Joker, Talia, the Mad Hatter, and the Ventriloquist, among others.

By the start of Act 3, we were sitting pretty sweet. Only 1 building down, 4 Bat-signal Points to our name, and the Explosion and Citizen trackers at healthy levels! We did struggle to put down all the villains in Act 2, though, so we knew we had some work to do.

By the start of Act 4, we were definitely feeling some hurt. 4 buildings had fallen, both the Explosion/Citizen trackers had moved to dangerous levels, we had no Bat-signal Points, Robin was wounded, and a host of nasty Story cards stared up at us from the table like harbingers of doom!

And yet … we pulled it off! With only 2 destruction rolls to chance in the Crisis Phase, we lucked out and survived both without losing another building. And to boot, we recorded our second highest efficiency score as a team (based on a formula I created for homebrew play). Always fun saving Gotham City as the Bat Fam!
