Review of Deities is such a great idea:

lol it'd be like this:
ZEUS | ⭐⭐⭐
"He got my daughter knocked up when I was specifically trying to keep her childless." - King Acrisius (⭐)
"Dad helped me out a lot with some tough tasks, and even got me a fast-pass to godhood in Olympus instead of staying in Hades forever. Step-mum was a bit of a letdown though. Would use again anyhow!" - Heracles (⭐⭐⭐⭐)
"A bit ambivalent when it came to supporting war efforts instigated by HIS OWN KIDS! Left a tribute and prayer and everything, but got left on read :/" - Hector (⭐⭐)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
ATHENA | ⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Very helpful even though she's a bit cryptic at times!" - Odysseus (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐)
"Extremely sore loser." - Arachne (⭐)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
DIONYSUS | ⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Terrible service. I had some problems with the service he gave and tried to give feedback-- he was utterly uncooperative. Tried to talk to the manager, but apparently there's no refunds!" - King Midas (⭐⭐)

"Helped us bring down the Achaeans' greatest warrior, and also protected my son's body multiple times. We lost the war, but I'm still grateful for the service. It's funny because a few of my sons looked a lot like him!" - King Priam (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐)
"LEAVE ME ALONEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!" - Daphne (⭐)

I guess this would be a modern-day AU where Assassin's Creed Protagonists play Blades in the Dark?
(EDIT 12/10: Now with Part 2 )
GM: Haytham (he regrets it sooo much)
Altaïr: Lurk
Haytham: "Altaïr, I'm begging you, please stop trying to do an American accent"
Ezio: Slide
Haytham: "Are you saying that you slept with this 70 year old woman?"
Ezio: "Yes."
Haytham: "I will not ask you to explain how for the sake of my sanity. Just take your extra dice."
Connor: Cutter
Connor: "My character loves his mother."
Haytham: "..."
Connor: "And is searching for his father so he may kill him."
Haytham: "... Thank you for that interesting backstory... son."
Desmond: Whisper
Desmond: "I guess I'll compel the ghost to possess him and get the ghost to make him jump off the tower."
Haytham: "You want to compel the ghost... to possess the head of the Blue Coats and jump to his death?"
Desmond: "Yup."
Haytham: "(sigh) Roll for attune. I'm telling you now that you are in a desperate posi-"
Desmond: (rolls 2 sixes and grins at Haytham)
Haytham: "......... (siiiggghhh) you attuned perfectly and the ghost is more than happy to possess the head of the Blue Coats and jump off the tower for you."
(these two sometimes join them)
Leonardo: Leech
Haytham: "Just a reminder, Leo, you still have a long-term project that you may want to continue?"
Leonardo: "Oh, yes, please!"
Desmond: "What was your long-term project again?"
Leonardo: "Creating a moving corpse using spark-craft."
Desmond: "Ohhhh, is that where all our corpses go?"
Malik: Spider
Malik: "I will assist Altaïr in this prowl and use my special skill Foresight to not take any stress."
Haytham: "Alright, how are you going to assist him?"
Malik: "I will tell him the exact timing and route to take."
Altaïr: "I ignore all of his instructions."
Haytham: "....... Alright, Altaïr, roll with only 2 dice. Malik, take 1 stress for having to watch Altaïr ignore everything you've just said."
Malik: "I'll take 2."
Desmond: "Oh my god. Guys, stop sabotaging each other."
Actual Player sheets and Crew Sheet (Assassin Playbook below)
Altaïr's Player sheet (starting)
Ezio's Player sheet (starting)
Connor's Player sheet (starting)
Desmond's Player sheet (starting)
Their Crew Sheet: Assassin Brotherhood
Bonus:
Leonardo's Player sheet (starting)
Malik's Player sheet (starting)
Other notes:
After their first session, Haytham wonders if his son should be friends with these three
Altaïr tries to be stealthy af, his dice have a 50/50 chance of agreeing with him
Most of the time if Altaïr fails, the consequence is that someone will start chasing him or their target will start running and he'll have to chase them (this is now a reoccurring joke and they're thinking Altaïr is cursed)
Ezio uses the Flashback mechanics the most to use his special skill (3 sessions in and everyone has agreed that Ezio has slept with everyone)
Connor doesn't hate his father, he thinks it'll be funny though to act like he does ingame
Desmond has played before, his dad is a longtime TTRPG player and he taught Desmond everything he knows (but he doesn't tell anyone that)
Haytham knows though and he rubs it in Bill's face that his own son prefers Haytham to be his GM
Malik made his character sheet for the sole purpose of helping everyone, he regrets it 10 minutes into his first score
Nowadays, whenever he joins, Malik just acts like an allied freelancer who only comes in when he has no other choice
Leonardo can't play regularly because he's usually busy but Haytham keeps a note that will tell him how many cooldowns Leonardo has so he can keep working on his long-term projects
Everyone agrees to take as many corpses as they can (if possible) for Leonardo's projects

DP x DC: The Most Dangerous Card Game
Ok so Danny has essentially claimed earth as his. And he is fully aware that there are constant threats to the planet. Now he can’t stop a threat that originates on earth (that’s something he’ll leave to the Justice league) but he can do something about outside threats. Doing some research on ancient spells, rituals, and artifacts, he cast a world wide barrier on the planet to protect it from hostile threats so they cannot enter. This will prevent another Pariah Dark incident. However, barriers like this come at a price. You see, there are two ways to make a barrier. Either make one powered up by your own energy and power (which would be constantly draining) or set up a barrier with rules. The way magic works is that nothing can be absolutely indestructible. It must have a weakness. The most powerful barriers weren’t the ones reinforced with layer after layer of protective charms and buffed up with power. Those could eventually be destroyed either by being overpowered, wearing them down, or by cutting off the original power source. No, the most powerful barriers were the ones with a deliberate weakness. A barrier indestructible except for one spot. A cage that can only be opened from the outside. Or that can only be passed with a key or by solving a riddle. So Danny chooses this type of barrier and does the necessary ritual and pours in enough power to make it. And he adds his condition for anyone to enter.
Now the Justice league? Find out about the barrier when Trigon attempts to attack, they were preparing after he threatened what he would do once he got to earth. How he would destroy them. The Justice league tried to take the fight to him first but were utterly destroyed, so they retreated home to tend to their injuries, and fortify earth for one. Last. Stand. Only when Trigon makes his big entrance…he’s stopped.
The Justice league watch in awe as this thin see-through barrier with beautiful green swirls and speckled white lights like stars apears blocking Trigon and his army’s advance. The barrier looks so thin and fragile yet no matter how hard the warlord hits, none of his attacks can get through and neither can he damage said barrier. That’s when Constantine and Zatanna recognizes what this barrier is. Something only a powerful entity could create. For a moment, the league is filled with hope that Trigon can’t get through yet Constantine also explains that it’s not impenetrable. And clearly Trigon knows this too for he calls out a challenge.
And that’s when, in a flash of light, a tiny glowing teenager appears. He looked absolutly minuscule compared to Trigon and yet practically glowed with power (this isn’t a King Danny AU though).
And that is when the conditions for passing the barrier are revealed. And the Justice realize that the only thing stopping Trigon and his army from decimating earth. The only way he can get through….is by beating this glowing teenager in a card game.
Not just any card game though. The most convoluted game Sam, Danny, and Tucker invented themselves. It’s like the infinite realms version of magic the gathering, combined with Pokémon, and chess. And Danny is the master. So sit down Trigon and let’s play.
(The most intense card game of the Justice league’s life).
After Danny wins, this happens a few more times with outer word beings and possibly even demons attempting to invade earth, yet none have been able to beat the mysterious teenager in a card game. Constantine might even take a crack at it and try to figure out how to play. He’s really bad though. Every time this happens, the Justice league worry that this might be the time the teenager looses. Yet every time, he wins (even if only barely).
Meanwhile, Danny, Sam, and Tucker have gotten addicted to the game and play it almost daily. Some teachers might seem them playing the game are are like ‘awww how cute’ not realizing this game is literally saving the world. Jazz is just happy they aren’t spending as much time on their screens playing Doomed.
