Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Created in 2007 and currently in its fifteenth year of operation, Freedom City Play-By-Post is the oldest and most active play-by-post setting on The Internet for Mutants & Masterminds, the superhero role-playing game by Green Ronin. Taking place (mostly) in M&M's default Freedom City setting, in the present day, the game has become a massive Shared Universe, involving dozens of active players with over a hundred Player Characters. Most of the staff are fans of both superhero comics and TV Tropes, and they welcome characters who draw from the common tropes and themes of superhero comic books.The default game setting is the "World of Freedom" described in Freedom City and its supplements. In 2016, Bedlam City from Plain Brown Wrapper Games was integrated into the FCPBP game world. In 2019, the city of Vibora Bay was imported from the Champions setting.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })This isn't the place for bloodthirsty Iron Age vigilantes, or for superheroes who think that the whole idea of superheroes is silly. The feel of our Player Characters falls somewhere between the Silver Age, the Bronze Age, and the Modern Age. They're all basically the Good Guys. Character concepts should pass tests like "Would people buy a comic book about this character?" and "Why would anyone talk to this character?" If your character would fit into the DC Animated Universe, then they'll probably fit in here, too.Many of the tropes in this game can be found on the pages for the Mutants & Masterminds role-playing game, or the Freedom City setting for that game. This page is intended for tropes unique to FCPBP and its characters. | |

Freedom City Play By Post (Roleplay) / int_19add21f | comment |
Why We Can't Have Nice Things: PC Villains were ultimately declared a failed experiment and banned because too many threads descended into orgies of weeks-long PvP and weapon measuring contests, which in turn transformed character creation and advancement across the site into a metagaming arms race. | |

Freedom City Play By Post (Roleplay) / int_3ab4530c | comment |
Crisis Crossover: The demonic invasion, when Hellion's father came with a demonic host to bring him home. It wasn't technically a Red Skies Crossover, but the skies above Freedom City were red... The third Grue Invasion, when they finally activated their experimental bio-weapon, Atlas. (Oh, Crap!.) The "Halloween Special," where the fight between Hades and Baron Samedi spilled over into massive waves of undead and cultists flocking to Freedom City. "ArchEvil" had Doctor Archeville's Superpowered Evil Side finally take over and unleash a number of magical and scientific monstrosities in the name of "reshaping" the world. There was the time the Gorgon showed up in orbit, threatening to encase the Earth in gray goo due to the taint of the Terminus. The "Hot Zone," where the city came under quarantine after a villain released an airborne mutagen that resulted in most of the city developing superpowers...control not guaranteed. The Day of Wrath, where Curator's androids turned out to have replaced several heroes and caused brief chaos throughout the city with the help of the Foundry's robots, followed by the rescue of those replaced. The Terminus invaded Earth-Prime again in 2016. As with the canon invasion of 1993, this invasion provided the origin story for multiple PCs. | |

Freedom City Play By Post (Roleplay) / int_5ad39c3a | comment |
Play Every Day: This certainly isn't required, but it does help. Hitting 100 in-character forum posts inside of one calendar month would gain a character the maximum possible Experience Points for that month, and pulling it off once will get the player into the "100 Club." This would require an average of 3-4 posts per day. Such a posting rate would also allow the player to start earning Veteran Rewards in under 6 months. But most players are not so prolific. | |

Super Team | |
Freedom City Play By Post (Roleplay) / int_844e7033 | comment |
Super Team: The setting has several already, and the players have formed more. The Freedom League (Justice League, Avengers): A primarily NPC team, although a few PCs are members. The Interceptors (New Warriors, Outsiders): This team has suffered several complete overhauls of its roster, with Jack of All Blades being the only constant member and the only remaining founder. The Liberty League (Infinity, Inc.): The heirs to Golden Age legacies, and some characters who were actually there for the Golden Age. The team itself is an heir to the legacy of the original Liberty League, a canonical NPC team active during World War II. Young Freedom (Titans, X-Men): A team of Claremont Academy students (see Superhero School, above). Most of the teenage PC heroes belong to this team at some point. As old students graduate and new ones enroll, the roster changes regularly. It is a counterpoint to the NPC Kid Hero teams, the Next-Gen and the Alterniteens. | |

Where the Hell Is Springfield?: Averted. The location of Freedom City is officially left open in the books, but the developer stated that it was envisioned as being near Atlantic City, New Jersey, and FCPBP adopted that location as canon. The location of Bedlam City is also left open in the book, but FCPBP placed it in Wisconsin, about halfway between Milwaukee and Green Bay. FCPBP kept the canon location of Vibora Bay in the Florida Panhandle. | |

Retcon: Usually Averted. Once a character is submitted and approved, they are a part of the FCPBP canon from that day forward. Exceptions are sometimes made, most often when a player is permanently banned from the site for bad behavior. In one case, a very active and well-liked player wanted to play a Legacy Character whose Super Hero Origin story would have been incompatible with the story established by a former player who had wandered off before making any significant impact on the site canon. In this specific case, the Moderators chose to retcon the previous player's character out of existence to make way for the new version. | |

House Rules: FCPBP has them. They are constantly evolving. The Moderators are generally reasonable people, receptive to player input and willing to change. | |

Freedom City Play By Post (Roleplay) / int_e5421161 | comment |
There is the player-created Nicholson School, an Expy of PS238, for younger supers. It is not primarily a Boarding School, but it does offer housing for those students who need it. | |

GMPC | |
Freedom City Play By Post (Roleplay) / int_e542549e | comment |
GMPC: Technically, Any PC has the potential to become this for any given story thread. Players are allowed to GM their own threads, so the lines between "Player" and "Game Master" blur at FCPBP. The overall atmosphere of the game is less "competitive" and more "cooperative." However, the Moderators have the final authority over any use of, or change to, any characters or locations from the canon setting. | |

Wake Up, Go to School & Save the World | |
Freedom City Play By Post (Roleplay) / int_e75d4959 | comment |
Young Freedom (Titans, X-Men): A team of Claremont Academy students (see Superhero School, above). Most of the teenage PC heroes belong to this team at some point. As old students graduate and new ones enroll, the roster changes regularly. It is a counterpoint to the NPC Kid Hero teams, the Next-Gen and the Alterniteens. | |

Freedom City Play By Post (Roleplay) / int_ee0c2c3c | comment |
Fictional Country: Players have created a few. "New Freedom," a metahuman dictatorship on the coast of Antarctica. Socotra, a mashup of Latveria and Madripoor off the coast of Yemen. The resident President Evil is Typhoon, a hydrokinetic, Powered Armor wearing Expy/mashup of Doctor Doom and Magneto. | |

The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: The Moderators also want to avoid this trope. Player Characters should fit better into the DC Animated Universe than they would into Heroes. | |

Canon Immigrant | |
Freedom City Play By Post (Roleplay) / int_fc7c4f92 | comment |
Canon Immigrant: Several characters played at FCPBP were created for and/or played in other games over the years, especially the signature character of the site's former owner, Doktor Archeville. The "Terminus Babies" concept created by Kit on the official Mutants & Masterminds forum was integrated into the FCPBP canon, and it served as the Mass Super-Empowering Event for several PC heroes. | |

Talking Is a Free Action | |
Freedom City Play By Post (Roleplay) / int_ff5a74c8 | comment |
Talking Is a Free Action: Especially in a play-by-post game. There are no other players sitting around the table to interrupt each other, so everyone gets a chance to ham it up. However, since Experience Points are awarded based on number of in-character posts made in a month, not by the length of individual posts, most players avoid full-blown walls of text. | |
