Do Not Go Gentle (Dylan Thomas)

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Introduction

Set across the 20th Century, Do not Go Gentle tracks the stories of American Superheroes in the post-war era. The initial story is set in 1950, five years after the end of WWII, but will take the protagonists right through to the modern day.

The world of this game is much the same as our real world, albeit with the existence of “exceptional individuals” aka “superheroes.” In the second world war the Nazis seemingly had better and more powerful “Ubermensche”, thanks to their eugenics programs and lower standards of ethics in human experimentation, but in the end this was not enough to save them. The war was won by the Allies in September 1945.

This document is the rules set for the above game, which is written up in full at [this rpg net Actual Play thread.]

This wiki then, is mostly for the players of the game and the thread's readers, but hopefully there's also enough here for anyone just stumbling across this wiki to be able to run the game themselves, should they wish to.
