In this episode of Gotham & Beyond, we turn to one of the most unsettling powers in the DC Heroes 3rd Edition RPG: Telepathy. On page 64, the rules show how telepaths can link minds, coordinate teams, or strike directly at an opponent’s psyche. We’ll break down how the power works, what risks it carries, and why mental combat can be more terrifying than any physical fight. Telepathy is quiet. It’s invasive. And when it works, it can unravel an entire session.

In this episode of Gotham & Beyond, we turn our focus to one of the most creative, reality-bending powers in DC Heroes 3rd Edition... Illusion.

This power doesn't break bones or melt steel. It bends perception. It wins encounters without ever throwing a punch. We’ll break down the rules from page 56, show how illusions work mechanically, and talk through how they can control the battlefield or the table.

Illusion is all about making others believe. And in this game, belief is often deadlier than a bomb.

In this episode of Gotham & Beyond, we dig into one of the most overlooked but most rewarding parts of the DC Heroes 3rd Edition RPG: Subplots.

Drawn from pages 141–144 of the core book, subplots bring your hero’s life off the battlefield and into the real world. Family problems, job stress, old enemies, romance, secrets… these threads shape who your hero is when the mask comes off.

We’ll talk about how subplots work, why they earn Hero Points, and how they turn downtime into story. You’ll also hear examples of how a subplot can shift a campaign in surprising ways.

Because in DC Heroes, the fight is never just in the streets. Sometimes, it’s at home.
