Strike A Match is an alternate universe role-playing game that incorporates both Marvel and DC characters, and is set in the post World War II era. For those of you not familiar with such a setting, think the television show Agent Carter, the movie Captain America: The First Avenger, Marvel Noir, DC's A Brave New World, and the DC Bombshells graphic novels, or any of your favorite black and white movies that are usually shown on the Turner Classic Movie channel.
This is an alternate universe where modern superhero and villains are existing in the late 1940’s. They all started making themselves known shortly after Captain America's disappearance in the arctic. Essentially, this is the Golden Age of comics. Feel free to keep characters close to canon or have them branch out into something different, possibly being influenced by this noir-like setting. How will current events or the recent war have shaped who you play? Will there be a young, Jewish mutant fresh from war-torn Europe? Will Howard Stark's next invention be a mechanized, iron suit of armor? Will an Amazon princess decide to become an ambassador to Man's World and will there be a newspaper reporter from Kansas to interview her? Only you can decide that.
We are a newly made forum, having only officially opened at the end of last year, so it is very easy for new members to jump in and get started. Plenty of canon characters (both Marvel and DC, good, bad, and neutral) are available, and we also allow OCs. As far as ratings go, the site is PG-13, referred to as '1980's PG-13' by one of the admins (essentially, violence and swearing is allowed, but nothing explicit or overly graphic, and romantic intimacy is fine so long as it 'fades to black' after a certain point).
