Description:

Out of the Ashes of Infinity�s Hourglass, rises the Watchtower.  This DC
Exclusive RPG deals with modern continuity after a crisis that ruins the
reputation and trust of the Super heroing community and among the members
of the community them.
After Darkseid�s invasion of Earth, the credibility of superheroes is
called into question. Are they defenders, or part of the threat them?

Due to America�s suffering at the hands of Darkseid, the Justice League of
America drops its affiliation with America and renames itself the Justice
League.  To follow suit the proactive super hero group known as the
Outsiders have become the surveillance and frontal assault group of the
Justice League, taking the title of Justice League Task Force.

Being that the Outsiders name is no longer in use, a rag-tag band of
heroes, that never were in the main stream wind up dubbed �The Outsiders�
after the brave exploits in attempting to save Las Vegas during the
Apokolips invasion.

The Justice Society of America remains unchanged by the choices of their
colleagues, choosing to stay affiliated directly with issues within
America and threaten the United States ideals, of truth liberty and the
pursuit of happiness.

The Teen Titans though not tragically affected by the attack of Apokolips,
have to deal with not only being teen heroes as in the past but, teen
heroes for a world that no longer trusts the heroing community.

As a result of the hysteria, Task Force X is reviewed and Amanda Waller is
reinstated as the chairman of the Task Force, bringing in former
operatives and reforming villains, the new and improved Suicide Squad is
formed, with an unlikely and dubious mission.  As the government is taking
strides to evaluate the need for meta-human super teams, the Black King of
the super secret organization Checkmate, Maxwell Lord takes steps to deal
with the super-human issue his own way, only opposed by a newly placed
White King who has yet to be revealed, and his recruited team of budding
adventurers and crime-fighters the Squadron.

As our heroes deal with the threat of growing allegiances between the
villains they face, and fight the hostility thrown against them, how will
the DC universe be affected by all of these events, only time will tell?
And only those at the Watchtower can decide.

Failed Hero (myself) and his new administration board personally invite
all interested fans and parties to join and apply for your favorite DC
character, or for you to hammer out your own legacy as an original
