Welcome to the Fandom Promo post, everyone!

Your game is the best game ever, and yet so few people have heard of it? Here's the post where you can tell everyone all about why they should play your game in particular. We have over ten days until signups close, which is more than enough time to play a game!

(Or several, if you don't sleep. Sleep is for those without gaming backlogs.)

FANDOM NAME: City of Heroes
WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: This was, in my opinion, one of the best MMOs ever. It was heavily story based and had room for sci-fi and fantasy and humour and darkness and you could customize your character to any concept you wanted because costume = / = abilities/armour.

And like I said, it was story-based! You'd play out storylines and get a souvenir that told you the story of it after. You'd find out the dark secret of the Crey Corporation (they had many), you'd find out why there's a secret Arachnos base under Faultline Dam, and the badges!

The badges were amazing! Dark Astoria had several short horror stories just from the exploration badges you could find in there!
WHERE CAN I FIND IT?: Two places. One is https://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page , a wiki that contains every bit of text from the game. And the other is... well, there's servers out there now where you can play it again. Look for Homecoming.

FANDOM NAME: World of Warcraft
WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: This game is ridiculous. I can kill a god, save a kingdom, or fly around on a giant parrot and poop on pirates (quest: Swab This!). And it all takes place in space. Humans are Old God corrupted rock men who were turned to flesh and then had a bunch of weird small (human) babies. Orcs are from another planet. Demons are from another galaxy. There's zombies everywhere.

And people can turn into cats.

And there is *so much* lore. Oh my god, there is so much lore. It took me three months to find out elves evolved from Trolls, there was so much go to through. It's wonderful! It always feels like there's some new discovery to make.

And the ghost stories! People who've seen me in other exchanges know I love a good ghost story. I nominated one of my favourite ones, Abby Lewis, for this. But also there's Tehd and Marius (of their excellent adventure), Jaina and Talanji, Khadgar... There's so much going on with those last three!
WHERE CAN I FIND IT?: You can play it for free up to level twenty from Blizzard, after that you need to pay a subscription, and the wiki for the game is very comprehensive https://wow.gamepedia.com/Wowpedia, as well as Wowhead.com

FANDOM NAME: Overwatch
WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: Overwatch is a first person shooter multiplayer game set in the future after a war with robots called the Omnics. Overwatch was once a team that the whole world looked up to, until scandals brought them down. Now they're being reassembled but there's lots of free agents and... well, Talon is a thing.

I particularly like the characters of Lucio, Reinhardt, and Doomfist!

Lucio: He's a techno bard! They put a bard in the game! He's actually a revolutionary from Rio de Janiero. See, Vishkar had come to Rio and was destroying the lives and homes of the poorer segment of the population so Lucio stole the sonic tech his father had invented for Vishkar and forced them out of Rio. He's bright, cheerful, and skates to get around. Also loves hockey. Not currently part of any team as far as I can tell from the lore.

Reinhardt: Ah! He was part of the original Overwatch! He's actually from Generation Z, being 61 in the *waves hand* mid-2070s when this game takes place. He's wonderful. He's big, boisterous, thinks of himself as an actual knight, and wants to be a hero. After Overwatch shuttered, he went around helping people. According to the comics and lore, he has strong ties to another Overwatch character's, Torbjorn, family. Torb's daughter is Reinhardt's squire.

Doomfist: Or Akande. He's part of Talon. He's powerful, determined, and I really wish he was on the good guy's side. He has a giant punchy power glove (the Doomfist in question) and he's pretty strong just on his own. He recently got out of jail (punched out) and has taken a high-ranking position back in Talon. I find him really intriguing.
WHERE CAN I FIND IT?: You can purchase it from Blizzard and gain access to the game. As well the Overwatch site has all the comics, and youtube has the animated shorts which is where the lore comes from.

FANDOM NAME: Super Mario Bros.
WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: The franchising. Sure, they can be off fighting goombas, saving the galaxy, and running through lava worlds, OR they could be playing tennis, riding around in go-karts, or playing party games. Sometimes they're enemies, sometimes they're allies. You kind of get the impression that the actual game-games are just their dayjobs.

I want to see Bowser and Luigi kiss, as a sidenote.
WHERE CAN I FIND IT?: Nintendo Eshop, Amazon, or your friendly neighbourhood gaming store. You'll need a console.
