MCUS: Capes in the Dark

Capes in the Dark is a game about super-powers and the effect they have on a community of people. In this game, you’ll play as a team of “capes” (people with super powers) trying to navigate the ever-shifting network of alliances and expectations that tie together your friends, families, comrades, and enemies. You’ll make dangerous bargains and get out by the skin of your teeth, fight for what you believe and get hurt in the process, bond with your teammates and compete with insidious rivals, and see heroes become villains and villains become heroes.

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

This game is set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe! Don't worry if you haven't watched anything more than the Avengers movies and maybe a few others, we're using the MCU as our backdrop to tell a story together.

• The time setting for this series is after Deadpool and Wolverine. 

• It will be set in New York City.

• Inspirations for the series come from the Netflix Marvel series Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Daredevil, and Defenders - street-level vigilante-styled folks with superpowers.

Characters and settings created in this miniseries will exist in the MCUS canon for future miniseries.
