(Here is the game description for the Elseworlds game I will be running at ACUS 2007.)
Since 1921, the Arkham Asylum for the Criminally Insane, has been one of the leading treatment centers for many advanced forms of psychosis. Despite a poor track record of inmate escapes, Arkham Asylum is the home of many of the most dangerous supervillians of all-time and is one of the few facilities prepared to handle the special needs of some of the superpowered inmates like Dr. Victor Fries (a.k.a. Mr. Freeze). Arkham's newest arrival may doom the entire world.
The inmates of the south wing have been hearing voices but only one has been able to find a way to answer the voices. Following their directions, he has released the great old one who slept beneath the asylum and his cackling laughter is only drowned out by the screaming of those who look upon the new arrival's terrible visage. As the insanity of Arkham spreads, can even the combined might of the world's greatest sorcerors and superheroes stop the apocalypse released by the Joker?
