Save This City is a literate, newbie-friendly DC/Batman RP that opens TODAY.



Gotham City is known for playing dirty, but recently, someone’s been muddying the already murky waters. When an unknown assassin begins targeting vigilantes with poorly kept secret identities, the unforgiving tension between heroes, villains, and police boils to an all time high.


But things aren’t always as they seem. As clues and motivations unravel, are the Gotham’s people ready to face the threat?



Currently, our most wanted applications/characters are:









All villains and cops!

Reasons you should think about applying @ Save This City: 


ALL ROLES ARE OPEN. There’s over 100 characters, a mix of canon and OC, with more on the way.
We’re newbie-friendly and have dozens of characters available for people who don’t know the comics.
The previous RP the mod team ran lasted two years. We’re people who stick to things for the long-term, and the RP is at no risk of dying out.
Friendly, safe atmosphere with talented people.
Driven, professional mods who try to make this a fun experience for everyone.
OOC fun and all the meta-analysis you can handle. 
Over-arching plot with plots of the week to keep everyone involved and on their toes.
Great activity with both paras and dash interaction.

Come check us out, and feel free to ask questions!

Comics Pros and Sexual Harassment

Comics Pros and Sexual Harassment:

actorswithactionfigures:



gimpnelly:



I’m working on a new journalism project that involves stories of sexual harassment in the comics industry. Primarily I want to hear stories about comics professionals (creators, editors, executives, marketers, journalists, retailers, convention organizers, etc. etc. but not fans) who have harassed people.  Any (or no) gender on either side of the equation. Any stories that are told to me will not be published without your permission and working with you to figure out how you want your story told (anonymously, without naming names, etc.). The important thing for me is that we establish how common harassment is and hopefully point out some of those missing stairs in the industry.


If you want to talk to me, you can drop me a line at janelle.m.asselin at gmail.com.  



And this is the link to the survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1ZWhGZbqufwmZi8ujLUunA4J-R_8wmTeny2RPjTkDBrk/viewform

Benched Characters

Who are the benched characters from the old dcu that you miss the most?



I have a lot of big ones I miss, but I find I am missing a lot of the minor characters tremendously.

Person on Twitter: Boy, ax murderers are always murdering people with axes, aren’t they?


Ax Killer On Twitter: Hey, not ALL ax murderers murder people with axes! You are stereotyping and that is JUST AS BAD as murdering people with axes!


Every time, every single time.

Does Mouse know about the Red Bee? Or does an older hero have to tell him about him and get mad that these kids don't know their history?

HEY! Not EVERY Red Bee is red or a bee! Check your OWN privilege…this is internet activism at its worst! I am just SO SORRY I am straight and white! LIKE THAT IS EVEN MY FAULT!!?!?!


Everyone is against me! Also, no and no.

Given that Mouse's power is to control rodents, would a hypothetical future appearance in the DCU have him commanding an army of capybaras?

Absolutely, but not RABBITS which are LAGOMORPHS!



I love to say lagomorph.

This is what EVERYBODY says when they see Outlaw half-naked!



Is shrubs of mystery a Trees of Mystery joke? Because my family used to go there every few years.



Yep, absolutely. I’d have had a big blue ox out front, if there was room.
