And so ends the three-year-long campaign, which took a fledgling group of metahumans from being students in a government school in New York to the halls of the gods. In the process, we dealt with numerous unexpected twists, both on the gaming table and in real life. We had great victories and tragic defeats, with Mary, Ken, and Mel persevering through things that would have ground other individuals to dust.
Now Darkseid is dead, and the cosmos has lost a great threat, but evil lives on. Earth is in the grips of a growing authoritarian government, with S.H.I.E.L.D. and the New Earth Government trampling civil liberties underfoot in the name of recovery and rebuilding. The Sword Nations, rebelling against the fascists, have maintained their fragile alliance despite the odds being stacked against them. And things will only get harder from here.
Though this campaign is over, the story of these characters and their descendants will continue. After a Transformers game run by Jenny Xenotropos, we will return to this crazy crossover universe with Young Justice: Avengers 2050, abbreviated YJA2050. Thirty years in the future in the island enclave known as San Fransokyo, four young people start a new heroic career, balancing their own dreams with the legacy of being related to the legendary Mythic Avengers...
...but that will have to wait. In the meantime, I'll be taking a break from the blog for a few months. Eventually, however, I'll be posting more "YJA Moments". This time, setting the scene of 2050. This campaign will be inspired by Batman Beyond, the various incarnations of Marvel 2099 and A-Next, Blade Runner, Aliens, Avatar, and various cyberpunk, and science fiction media. And, of course, Big Hero 6.
Some of the topics discussed will be: What are the new Treaty States? What lengths have S.H.I.E.L.D. taken to control their populace. Who are the new heroes and villains of this time period? How many more crossovers can I jam into this universe? And what is the history of the Treaty State of San Fransokyo, the artificial island nation created to house refugees in the aftermath of a pacific-wide kaiju invasion?
Thanks for reading the world's most unknown blog. Until next time.
