You could presumably show your friends the episode “Reawakening,” where Xanatos and the evil gargoyle sorcerer Demona team up to build a gargoyle cyborg named Coldstone, before playing through the Reawakening mission so they know why Coldstone keeps changing sides and lashing out against his creators, but it’s utterly bizarre that they don’t just have a plot explanation somewhere that you can read aloud. The game includes three fully collaborative missions and a scenario where one player takes on the role of the brilliant mastermind David Xanatos to fight off everyone else, but there’s no explanation for why anything is happening. That’s a true shame because the concept of letting players team up for scenarios based on favorite episodes of the show is a great one. While that concept provides a tantalizing intro to the show’s fantasy world and its characters, that’s effectively where the narrative stops in the game. In the modern day of 1994, the spell that had bound them was broken in Manhattan. The cover of the Gargoyles: Awakening rule book includes the voiceover text from the show’s introduction, explaining that 1,000 years ago the Gargoyles were betrayed by humans they had sworn to protect and were frozen in stone.
