Episode 21: Why Most DC Heroes Campaigns Fail | The Gotham and Beyond Podcast

Why do so many superhero campaigns start strong and then slowly fall apart? In this episode of Gotham & Beyond, we examine four of the biggest reasons DC Heroes campaigns fail. From overusing famous NPC heroes and escalating threats too quickly, to power imbalance at the table and the temptation to build characters that overshadow everyone else, these are problems that many Game Masters eventually encounter. We discuss why players need to be the stars of the story, how smaller stakes often create stronger campaigns, and why a clear campaign vision matters more than most groups realize. Whether you’re running DC Heroes, Batman Role-Playing Game, or any superhero RPG, these lessons can help keep your campaign focused, engaging, and fun for the long haul. If you’ve ever watched a promising superhero campaign lose momentum, this episode is for you. Episode link: https://play.headliner.app/episode/33...
