=='''THIS IS A PLACE HOLDER AS WE BUILD OUR PAGE'''==

'''Welcome to the American Gods campaign wiki.''' This wiki site is a resource for a face-to-face tabletop superhero role-playing game using the M&M system called '''"American Gods"'''. This site is a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki wiki] which is a web page that can be editted by anyone with surfing the web! The goal of this wiki site is to form a repository of information about our game that is easily accessible and edittable to the entire game group. A "campaign series bible".

'''the Campaign Connections'''
* [[Campaign Schedule]] - Are we playing this week? '''Yes or No?''' Times, etc... CHECK HERE!
* [http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/SupersRPG_AMERICAN_GODS/?yguid=140900971 American Gods Yahoo Discussion]: This is where the group actively discusses game events, recaps as well as the planning of game gatherings and general group chit chat.
* [[Back Issue Bin]]: This is the spot for game session recaps by both GM and Players. <br> The American Gods [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial serial] campaign is broken into story arcs. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Story_arc What are Story Arcs]?

==GODLIKE CONVOCATION==
'''Hear me Survivors'''. You change the world. You move mountains.

You define music, fashion & entertainment. '''YOU are Godlike'''.

Sinner or Saint. Revolutionary or Radical. Anarchist or Terrorist. '''YOU are Godlike'''.

Walk among the clouds. Walk between the stars. Walk as gods.

'''Because YOU...... ARE Godlike'''.

==Setting Background==
The Godlike are people dealing with traumatic changes, driven by the mystery of what happened and why. Many of them have been affected in mysterious ways, and develop certain abilities, both good and bad. 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." So that being the case, how much more prey to corruption are the Godlike?

Although not immediately evident, it soon becomes apparent that the Godlike have each awoken with a special power as they unwittingly begin to exhibit abilities such as superhuman strength, flight, healing touch, and even clairvoyance. Eager to revisit memories from their past and reunite with those they love, two worlds collide as Godlike people acclimated to the world before their coming are forced to deal with the new challenges being god.

A new federal division agency of Homeland Security called NTAC (National Threat Assessment Command) is formed to follow the Godlike, lead by [[Nicolas Roth]], a criminal investigator, and [[Tara Archer]], a biological examiner. Tara's involvement is personal: her niece Leslie Arthur was one of the Godlike. Hyped as a hoax to many, it is rumored that the Godlike were infected by some government experiment, they are angle/demon ushering the end times, or perhaps they were abducted by aliens…

With the world understandably curious about the Godlike, rumors begin to spread about their mysterious 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.

A key event in the American God's history occurred during what became known as the 9/11 Disaster. This event was also responsible for the creation of the possibility for powers beyond mortal men.
