Interest/Volunteer Check: Major Multisphere Chronicles of Darkness

What about Geist?

[ZekeTheG33k]

The problem with Tokyo is the LAS syndrome and people using stereotypes far to easily. With London, or anyother city they are vaguely less stereotyped. I blame anime for this more than anything.

[tragedyjones]

@Seamus Yeah, I only even suggested Tokyo BECAUSE it has a write up in Vampire, Werewolf, Beast AND Mage.

I'm thinking, unless someone has a very compelling argument, that Los Angeles is best, because of the diversity, both ethnic and financial. And it lets people play fucking movie stars like they wanna.

And them being there makes sense. As opposed to in some middle of nowhere Maine.

ETA: Blah, double posted for some reason trying to make a small edit. NO MATTER. Gone now.

After talking to people who are WAY more knowledgeable than I am, it looks like:

1 - No Demon
2 - Hunter needs to find a way to work

[Miss Demeanor]

@tragedyjones Is it gonna be post-apoc LA? Like... Escape from LA, LA?

runs very far and very fast

But when you live in Japan you think you are in an anime ... I lived right out side of Tokyo for 4 years and living there made all anime I ever saw (except some of the hentai stuff) make sense.

Aww, man. Care to share the rationale?

The logistics nightmare, and the near complete thematic clash with Mage being the primary reasons.

Instead of no demon, go the conversion route like the book that takes 2e demon and Cwod demon and converts them. No need for all the cloak and dagger. Or just remove the cover aspects . With how beefy vampire and werewolf are there isn't a real issue of demon over powering the others.

Just throwing my yearning for 1980s Los Angeles into the mix. 'cause that's one hell of a dark setting.

West coast vampires in the 80s were prone to pathos. And inexplicable fashion choices.

[surreality]

@Collective I would build the shit out of that earthquake-eaten hotel, don't even tempt me.

Watch Wicked City for a good example of why I am keen on this specific blend, though. Also, no magically solving every mystery with google and a smartphone.

[Collective]

@surreality

Agreed on both counts. I'd totally hang in an abandoned subterranean hotel for my faction's super-secret club house.

And another nice bit would be L.A. in the 80s would still have craploads of Deco, Modernist and just plain odd buildings and homes around.

[surreality]

@Collective Yup! Shit, I would even be tempted to play in that setting as some stoner boho Daeva 'fuck the mannnnnnn' underground (see what I did there?) artist flake or something. (I am super bleah on WoD/CoD/etc. on the whole lately, though @tragedyjones knows I will wiki for him any day.)

[Wizz]

Wait can 80's LA seriously be a thing

[surreality]

Doubtful, since I think most of the other folks working on this are not remotely on board with that. (Read: loathe it like it actually enacted every your mother joke that's ever been traded on the forum at once.) I just keep pitching it anyway because it is a setting I really, really want to see happen some day.

Because I am like the team equivalent of the nagging housewife that bangs on endlessly about some random thing constantly, then backpedals on most else to say but, like, I totally only do wiki! the moment my eyes start to glaze over on something.

(Again, this is a self-awareness thing... but @tragedyjones, @Thenomain, and @Coin can doubtless confirm the cosmic truth of this.)

That said, FUCK YEAH THAT WOULD BE AMAZING, so I really really hope it could be a thing.

[Scorn]

80s LA has its good points and bad. Some points some people see as good, others would see as bad, and vice versa. There are a number of MUers who actually.. gasp.. remember the 80s. For those that don't, it'd be a challenge. It was a unique era. There'd also be an enormous step down in available technology, which let's face it, a lot of people would gripe about. "What do you mean, no smartphones with more processing power than a full-on 1980s computer?!" Staff would wind up having to police that sh*t. And nobody's gonna want to do that. Seriously. So many better things to do with one's time than slap iPhone 6s out of some powergamer's hand every other day.

Personally, I'm still yearning for a New Orleans setting. Or Seattle. Of the choices given? I'd vote London.

Could always route through my VHS collection and we could make a 90s game. >.>
