-- ''Godlike Convocation''

Welcome to the American Gods campaign [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki wiki], the "series bible" for a face-to-face tabletop superhero role-playing game called "American Gods," played using the [http://www.mutantsandmasterminds.com/ M&M] system. The goal of this site is to collect information about our game in a way that anyone in our group has easy access to read and edit.

'''CAMPAIGN CONNECTIONS'''
* '''[[Back Issue Bin]]''': This is the spot for game session recaps. The American Gods [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial Serial Campaign] is broken into [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Story_arc Story Arcs].
* [http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/SupersRPG_AMERICAN_GODS/?yguid=140900971 '''American Gods Yahoo Group''']: For planning game gatherings and general group chit chat.
** ''[[Note ScratchPad]]'': If you have an idea for the game, but don't have time to find a place for it, drop it here. ANYONE that would like to find a home for this info and format it is WELCOME to do so.
** ''[[Dangling Plotlines]]'': These are the things that've come up in game but, for a variety of reasons, we've yet to get back to.

==Setting Background==
Fundamentally the same as the real world, things in the American Gods campaign took a dramatic turn on September 11, 2001, with an extra, fourth plane hijacked from Boston Logan airport. This plane, too, went down, but everyone on it survived, though they were lost to consciousness for four years. When they wake up they come to be called, variously, The Survivors and The Godlike.

It soon becomes apparent that the Godlike have each awoken with a special power as, unwittingly, they begin to exhibit abilities such as superhuman strength, flight, healing touch and even clairvoyance. Eager to revisit their past and reunite with those they love, two worlds collide as these people, acclimated to the world before their coming, are forced to deal with the new challenges of being god. They are people dealing with traumatic changes, driven by the mystery of what happened to them and why. This is their platform to explore politics, religion, society, responsibility and ultimately, the question of power: what it means, what it does and what it costs. It echoes the adage, "Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely." Hyped as a hoax by many, it is rumored that the Godlike were infected by some government experiment, that they are angels or demons ushering the end times, or perhaps they are the results of alien abduction. With the world understandably curious, rumors begin to spread about the Godlike's abilities and public opinion soon becomes divided between those who embrace the Godlike and those who fear them. As the members of the Godlike struggle to resume and rebuild their “life interrupted,” each will come to play a pivotal role in events still to come... events that will shape the destiny of the human race.

==QUOTES & COMMENTARY==
* '''[[Quotes from the American God Game Sessions]]''': We try our best to have someone writing quotes they hear from other players, characters and NPCs. We don't always get them all and some will make little sense out of context but they greatly humanize the story looking back!
* '''[[Game Inspiration Quotes]]''': Herein we see multiple quotes that we've found that have meaning to our stories and styles.
* '''[[American God COVERS]]''': Imagine that these images are the covers for the collected trade paperback graphic novels of each story arc. Each image is meant to symbolize the contents of its arc; those symbols are discussed within.

==Cast of Characters==

** [[Main Cast Opinions]]: Listing the thoughts and opinions of each player regarding what their character's opinion of other main characters and any non-player characters.

** [[Main Cast STORIES]]: This is the one-stop shop for all "fiction" written as stories about/for player characters by their players.

===Our Fellow Travellers===
* '''[[AA 283 Flight Manifest]]''': The master list of everyone who was aboard American Airlines Flight 283 when it left Boston on 9/11/01 for LA and destiny. The people on this list are those who, as a whole, would come to be called "The Survivors" and "The Godlike."

===The Wider World===
* '''[[Supporting Cast]]''': The characters who have touched the Main Casts' lives. This is a description of the Main Casts' family and friends, from before and after the crash, of the antagonists they've found along the way and the dozens of people who've walked into and out of their sight in countless smaller ways.

AGT ANNOUNCES STAR CINEMA MEGAPLEX & IMAX TO OPEN IN WASHINGTON D.C. THIS OCTOBER!!!
Featuring: 32 THX 9.5 Surround Sound Dolbe Digital Stadium Big Screens and Dual IMAX Screens
[[Image:starexterior.jpg]]

[[Image:tile1.jpg]][[Image:tile2.jpg]][[Image:tile3.jpg]][[Image:tile4.jpg]]

Washington, D.C. ~ AGT Enterprises, Inc. of Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, is pleased to announce the opening of the new Star Cinema IMAX. The new Star Cinema complex in Washington D.C. includes the IMAX theatre, three additional auditoriums with stadium seating and an additional concession stand. Thus making it the largest Star Cinema currently in use. This is a first for the small AGT company based out of Wisconsin wich has recently begun to expand and develop after its near collapse only a few months ago. The company shows new hope for the future with this expansion into the District of Colombia

Moviegoers in the Washington D.C. area will be able to experience the movies in the most powerful, immersive, and unique way. Star Cinema IMAX will offer both educational, documentary style IMAX films as well as Hollywood event films digitally re-mastered into the unparalleled image and sound quality of The IMAX Experience (r).

The unique combination IMAX's 15/70 film format, specially designed screen that is slightly curved and a powerful multi-channel digital surround sound system will provide Star Cinema IMAX moviegoers with an immersive and extraordinary cinematic experience.

Space Station 3D and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire: The IMAX Experience will be the first feature films shown at Star Cinema IMAX.

Space Station 3D is the first-ever IMAX(r) 3D space film. Audiences will travel 220 miles above the Earth at 17,500 mph to experience Space Station 3D - the greatest engineering feat since landing a man on the moon. The movie tells the story of the unique partnership of 16 nations building a laboratory in outer space - a permanent facility for the study of the effects of long-duration exposure to zero gravity and the necessary first step towards the global co-operative effort needed if man is to someday set foot on Mars. It is a story of challenges, setbacks and triumphs...and ultimately, the shared international victory of men and women whose dreams exceed the limits of life on the earth. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is the fourth installment in the beloved Harry Potter franchise, and the second to be digitally re-mastered into IMAX's format, following the successful June 2004 release of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban: The IMAX Experience.

A little bit of b & e from his brush with street crime he learned how to pick locks and break into buildings and disable security systems, he learned a lot about publishing and the magazine buisness from his Uncle this he applied with help from some of his 'criminal' friends how to forge paperwork and documents these skills where further improved durring his time with the urban explorers. he has also taken exstensive self defense courses and survival courses. he is majorly into extreem sports and is good at them. as well as hes into gadgets and gizmos and has played quite a bit with computers. he has a natural skill with electronics.

Biggest secret? That he's a Kennedy

Greatest fear, something that would panic him/her. Being found out hes a Kennedy and people treeting him diffrently. Being cuttoff of from his money and having to try to learn how to live pour.

List your family and close friends. (name, special details) still doing the exstensive research for this :P

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'd like to confront my Dad about his supporting the quarantine Jack is realy upset, the one time he was truly confident his father would have his back and that he could realy and believe in his dad the working mans champion and he feels like he was stabbed in the back. Also Jack would like to get the member of "Team Extreem" back together. See latter section for details. Jack would like to take some breathing time to figure out "What the fuck is going on with these powers" he dosnt know about anyone else but hes freaked out by suddenly having weird powers and only hasn't freaked outwardly about it is because hes been running on fear/anger/adrenilan but as soon as we have breathing room hes going to flip out. He also will want to do the following short term. Offer help to the survivers if he can. Find out if celerix has more cloning matter from them. Make sure the children are ok. Try a buy out of celerix maybe. Longer term goals jack will continue to be outraged anywhere people are being held aginst there will and with out true cause of law or justice. As well as any situation where children are being harmed. And he will want to find out what realy happened on the flight and whats been going on for 4 years and why they have freaky powers. Beyond that he/I have no idea as yet.

Jack will be outraged that Goerge died in the wake of John Johns death and will want to restore the magazine.

George magazine to fold in March January 4, 2001 Web posted at: 6:29 PM EST (2329 GMT)

NEW YORK (CNN) -- George magazine, the political monthly founded by the late John F. Kennedy Jr, is folding, its owner said Thursday.

In a statement released by Hachette Filipacchi Magazines, the company said the magazine, which struggled to make money, will cease publication in March.

"Despite a superb editorial product under the leadership of Editor-in-Chief Frank Lalli, advertisers' support has not been forthcoming," Hachette President and CEO Jack Kliger said. Citing the "recent softening of the advertising market," Kliger added, "The likelihood that George's prospects will improve in this environment has become remote."

"While I have been enthusiastic about George and remain so, the reality of today's magazine business is that we cannot make George work economically," he said.

Staff members were informed Thursday of the decision.

The final issue of George will include interviews conducted by Kennedy while he was editor.

Kennedy, his wife and sister-in-law were killed when the plane he was piloting crashed into the Atlantic Ocean in July 1999.
