We trying to go for a tone half way golden age and modern. Kinda Bronze ageish. Not as simplistic as actual Golden Age stories could be, but not Watchmen either.
The concept of this game is that characters are sidekicks of canon characters who didn't have sidekicks during that era.

While the sidekicks never existed, thier mentors must be superheroes from the 40's DC comics of that time, or Fawcett or any others that DC bought out and are now part of the DC Universe.

The current adventure is the "Prequel."
 
 
 
We try to make the Washington DC of the game as close to historic accurate as possible.  
 
DC comic references are of course encouraged. And villians are to come from DC canon. Of course nothing wrong with giving a canon villian a non-canon sidekick.
 
 
 
Oh, and the more obscure the reference the better!
