Subplots: The Secret Life of Heroes
Update: 2025-08-20
Description
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.
