This week, I shine the Bat-Signal on one of the most underrated powers in the DC Heroes 3rd Edition RPG, Danger Sense. It doesn’t make you faster. It doesn’t make you stronger. It just keeps you alive. I dig into the real mechanics straight from page 53, walk through how it works in play, and explore why this subtle power creates some of the best moments in street-level games. You’ll hear how Danger Sense isn’t about prediction, it’s about instinct. And sometimes, that one second of warning is all that stands between you and the morgue. If you're building a survivor, a detective, or a hero who knows when to stop, this one's for you.

In this episode of Gotham & Beyond, we explore one of the most defining mechanics in the DC Heroes 3rd Edition RPG: Hero Points.

They’re not about luck. They’re about story. About growth. About choosing the moment to shine or the moment to fall.

We break down how they work, why they matter, and what they reveal about the heart of this system. Plus, a story or two from the table that show how Hero Points make all the difference.

Whether you're new to DC Heroes or returning after years away, this is where the real drama begins.

We’re kicking off a brand-new season of Gotham & Beyond by heading straight into the heart of superhero roleplaying: the DC Heroes 3rd Edition RPG. In this episode, I unpack why this system still holds up, how it handled power scale better than most games today, and why it deserves more attention.

Whether you're new to MEGS or still clutching your old character sheet from '91, this is where the story begins.

Season 2 is here, and it’s not just more of the same. After a first season of comic crossovers, G.I. Joe experiments, and Batman musings, The Gotham & Beyond Podcast returns with a sharper mission. This season, we’re diving deep into the rules of DC Heroes 3rd Edition, one episode at a time.

Whether you’re new to MEGS or just need a refresher, each episode will break down mechanics, clarify concepts, and explore what makes this system so unique. From stats and scaling to powers and subplots, I’ll guide you through it in clear, bite-sized pieces.

Same feed. Same voice. Just finally focused.

This is The Gotham & Beyond Podcast, DC Heroes 3rd Edition Explained.

In the premiere episode of The Forgotten Files of Hugo Strange, we turn the lens inward. Not on a rogue. Not on a masked vigilante. But on the man behind the mirror, Doctor Hugo Strange himself. Long forgotten yet quietly foundational, Strange isn’t just another villain in Gotham’s orbit. He’s the one taking notes. Watching. Obsessing.

We track his strange evolution from 1940 pulp scientist to psychological predator, exploring how his quiet presence lingers in the shadows of both comics and RPG campaigns. What makes him so dangerous? Why doesn’t anyone remember him? And how can game masters use that to their advantage?

This isn’t just a character study. It’s a diagnosis.And the patient... is Gotham.

Welcome to the file. Strange is expecting you.

Every old city hides something. But Gotham? Gotham buries it.

This week on The Gotham and Beyond Podcast, we go deep, into tunnels that don’t appear on any maps, catacombs sealed for a reason, and stories no one finishes telling. From The Court of Owls to No Man’s Land, we explore the hidden layers of the city. Not as a backdrop. As a metaphor.

And if you’re running an RPG? This is your blueprint.
The door is half-open. The dust is undisturbed. And someone down there remembers your name.

Gotham doesn’t just get cold. It shuts down.
In this episode, I talk about what happens when winter takes hold of the city—through the quiet dread of Batman: Snow, the grief-soaked beauty of SubZero, and the human resilience shown in Final Night. It’s not about reviews. It’s about tone. Silence. And what snow does to the soul of Gotham… and the people trying to survive it.

If you’ve ever wanted to understand why snow makes Batman stories hit harder—or how to use that atmosphere in your own RPG sessions—this one’s for you.
