-The '''Net.Trenchcoat Brigrade''', or '''NTB''', are a collective of trenchcoated bastards who are more often than not parodies of various Vertigo characters (most often [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Constantine John Constantine]).  They're usually mystical, generally cynical, and thoroughly sloshed.

 Much like the LNH itself, the NTB began with one big burst of enthusiasm, leading to a [[Chaotic Add-On Cascade]] &ndash; specifically, ''[[Wrath of the Administrator]]'', and leading to miniseries and ongoing series thereafter. The big surge of energy faded, though, by the end of 1995, and the NTB slowly went from an active multi-[[Writer]] storytelling milieu to a concept that writers would homage, be influenced by, and use characters from.

 There were trenchcoaters long before there were trenchcoats. Closely tied to the archetype of the trickster figure, their roots are deep in history and legend. But unlike other, more privileged formal schools of magic, trenchcoaters have poor records of their own history. Some people say that the first trenchcoater was Christopher Marlowe, some say it was [[Bacchus]] (mainly Bacchus himself), some say that it was [[Jesus Christ]]. Many say that the idea of looking for the founders of the tradition is (in the kind of British  slang trenchcoaters tend to adopt whether or not they're actually British), complete bollocks.
-Regardless, the whole scene of trenchcoaters in their modern form came together in the late 1980s and early 1990s, in reaction to the genre  growth of proto-Vertigo-ish supernatural comics, and the surge of postmodern mythic/occult fantasy in general. A group of them loosely  centered around [[Sig.ago]] (or "Chicago" as they insist on calling it) formed the Net.Trenchcoat Brigade, around the same time as the new wave of heroes who became the [[LNH (Classic Team)|LNH]]. They were closely linked, as much as they'd both hate to admit it.

 A number of NTB members joined together to battle the incursion of the [[Universal Office]] (as seen in ''[[Wrath of the Administrator]]''). The years following were something of a rennaisance for trenchcoaters, but in time the scene faded away. The NTB didn't hold together the way the LNH did, trenchcoaters being a rather solitary and antisocial bunch. The paradigm changed and mutated, as magic often did, with new waves and styles of magic informed by new kinds of media taking its place.

-Trenchcoater magic<ref name=magick/> works by directly interfacing with the [[Drama]] that underlies the [[Looniverse]], without the elaborate rules used by more formal and upper-class magickal schools. Drama surrounds trenchcoaters and permeates their lives  at every moment. Many of them seldom actually cast spells, instead drawing on the vortex of Drama that surrounds them. It can exercise a  high cost, and some pursue it deliberately: sacrificing friendships and  romantic relationships and mental well-being to create Drama to give them more power. Few trenchcoaters live long; the NTB counts as one of its number the [[Bacchus|god and founder of tragedy]].

 Of course, some NTB members are swamp monsters, ghosts, metaphysical personifications and other kinds of beings that work with magic/Drama in different ways. These have their own kinds of issues.
