We’re one day away from the debut of our new show, Something in the Dark. Something in the Dark will be a part of our connected Earth-Prime universe, which currently consists of Netherwar, City of Destiny, Guardians of Haven, GemStars, Freedom League Dark, Heroes of Tomorrow, and our Freedom City and Emerald City Pride events that were done as a part of our Trevor Project fundraiser.

New Orleans. The Big Easy. Crescent City. These names bring many things to mind – from incredible Cajun cuisine, to Mardi Gras parades, to riverboats, and to  the best damn Jazz music ever made.

But there is a darker side to the city. New Orleans is known just as much for Voodoo and vampires and ghost tours. On Earth-Prime, New Orleans holds the headquarters for ARCADE – the American Research Center for the Arcane Defense of Earth. Few know of ARCADE, and that’s the way they want it. Let the Freedom League and the Stormbreakers have the nightly news. If ARCADE does its job correctly, no one will ever know they existed.

Join us, as a new group of magically touched heroes find themselves drawn into the web of mysteries and secrets that surround this organization. They’ll either save the world, or end up damning it.

The latest chapter in the USP Earth-Prime universe for Mutants & Masterminds 3rd Edition begins soon. On this show, you’ll find mages and mystics, monsters and men, semi-divine beings and infernally-touched warriors, including a visitor from outside of Earth-Prime’s cosmos. We’ll be making extensive use of ideas from the Supernatural Handbook for Mutants & Masterminds.

Your host and GM for this series is Aaron, and our cast will be:

• Alex (Anson Walker) (Coming to the show in November, 2023)
• Aunt Puppy (Professor Daffodil Carrie Pembroke)
• Brandon (Orpheus & Eurydice)
• Deuce (Babel)
• Gemmy (Muse)
• Wiccy (Harper Graves)

Now, while Alex may have promised (and failed to deliver) on a “lighter tone” with Guardians of Haven, Something in the Dark promises the opposite. This is a story where bad things happen. Drug-use, sexual situations, domestic violence, and slavery will all be on display here. This will be a story of heroes standing against some of the worse elements of humanity, and the supernatural elements that are behind them are only nearly as scary. That said, this will be a story of heroes, and at the end of the day, they will (hopefully) have held the darkness at bay.

Hope to see you tomorrow night!
