Since the events of Batman: Arkham Asylum, warden Quincey Sharp has taken credit for Batman's successful quelling of Joker's uprising and used that momentum to win Gotham City's mayoral election. The first of his broad-sweeping plans is to proclaim Arkham Asylum and Blackgate prison unfit to house criminals. Sharps buys up a large swath of Gotham's slums and walls it off, stocking the perimeter with highly trained armed mercenaries from an outfit named Tyger. All prisoners are transported to this new facility dubbed Arkham City approximately one year after the events at the asylum. They are given only one rule under threat of death: do not try to escape. No other policing takes place inside, leaving a mix of two-bit criminals and super villains to eke out an existence in this lawless, ruthless ecosystem.

Arkham City is only loosely based on the game of the same name. Seeing as the game isn't even out yet, that's a given. If you want to explore character development in a lawless society, then you're in the right place.

Arkham City...
Is chaos incarnate. There is no law here, no structure, no civility, no God. The inmates have free reign so long as they stay within the Arkham City walls.

Tyger Mercenaries
These ruthless men and women are here for one reason and one reason alone: To keep all hell from spilling out of Arkham and into the general public. They're armed, they're dangerous and they definitely shoot first. Fuck the questions.

Criminals
These are the poor, unlucky souls who really get the brunt of things. Whether you were holding up a grocery store so you could feed your family, or you were caught breaking parole, or you were dealing drugs --if you were locked up in Blackgate for it you're stuck with the crazies now. Good luck.

Villains & the Criminally Insane
The biggest reason Arkham City was formed. If you were transferred from Arkham Asylum, then you're in this category. These are the high rollers, the big bads, the people you don't want piss off. Nearly all of Batman's rogues gallery falls into this category. Oh, and hey! The mercenaries have a pool going on who'll successfully appoint them self mayor first. My money's on Two-Face.

...because when the sun goes down, the wolves come out to play.

It's 1890 in Texas, a small wild west town called Trinidad has some very interesting things going on. Two rival bandit gangs are fighting for territory, the poor towns folk being dragged into the middle of it all. Sure, it was normal to have a couple of bandit gangs around, but these aren't just any bandits. When the full moon rises high in the sky, they take on a whole 'nother form. The Blackmoon Gang and Parish Creek Gang have been at each other's throat for a long while now, no thanks to the constant instigating from the Cruz Negra Coven Master, Viktor Gavilán, the past couple of years.

All hell is about to break loose, can the townsfolk of Trinidad keep it together or will the bandit gangs and vampire coven destroy them completely?
