Location, Location, Location: Where Do You Want to See Games?

Chicago/the Midwest. I know it's been used for Dresden and Anitaverse games, but I have yet to see a good WoD game take place there. It's not like there aren't beaches on Lake Michigan, or suburban forests, or transit or ethnic enclaves and universities.

Any of the larger cities in western Europe.

Rome, Paris, Berlin, London, Stockholm, Madrid, Vienna, Budapest whatever, you get the idea.

I'd like to see more games set in the American Southeast that doesn't rhyme with Pew Moreens.

Utah, for some reason, suggests potential but I think its mostly because that's a state that was founded on utter batshittery as a religion. It makes it easy for almost any wackadoo premise for why this town is soooo evil, guys! as a setting.

As someone who actually lives in Salt Lake City, I think a game set here would be absolutely fantastic. There's a huge underground counterculture out here that really thrives on feeling outnumbered and sticking it to the Man, so I could really see a game that hyperfocused on the underdog vs the establishment.

In particular, I've always liked to imagine there's an inverted subterranean temple directly below the Mormon one where they take and Embrace new members of the Quorum of the Twelve.

EDIT: Ooh, or the original Quorum were a group of Body Thieves. Either would be creepy and fantastic, really.

I would play on an St. Lake City game as long as I could use Heroin Bob from SLC Punk as my played by.

If I had the ability, I would set a nWoD single sphere game in New York or some other metropolis. I've always wanted to do another country as well. Brazil or some other South American country, Russia etc.

Arizona would be interesting only because I'm familiar with it. Phoenix and Tucson being the prime location but the north colder parts have smaller towns for easier smaller grids.

Not trying to single you out person I don't know. But you probably do have the power to run a game. Almost everyone has the power. I believe in you.

OrcRiot

Hah. Thanks. I barely have a grip as a player and I don't know coding or have money for hosting. If I had those I'd hop on it. It's not like I don't have the free time.

tragedyjones

Money I cannot help you with, but code is easy to come by if you ask kindly around here. There are total systems for nWoD people have codes and fairly regularly share. That is how I start MY games.

OrcRiot

Maybe I will...I'm sure I can develop and host a temp version on my home pc to mess with. Though I'm a windows user. So I would ask around uh..the mu code channel...

Also I have to say, this forum code is ace...

Ahahahaha, where the fuck is @HelloRaptor when you need h--oh, right. XD

Arkandel

My theory is he's practicing his coding skills 24/7 so he can bring WORA back.

Oh shit...what did I do?

TNP

@DnvnQuinn This is the most horrible forum software ever created by man.

OrcRiot

Oh...

Well I like it's functionality. It's pretty and I like the input box, it's adjust-ability, the live preview and the over all simplicity in appearance.

But I'm usually wrong about these things..sooooo

Lets get back on topic!

Uh, so if I locate this nWoD public core...code. Which of those locations sounds most interesting for a single sphere (probably vamp game)

My go-to's are:
New York
Brazil (beach town)
Phoenix Arizona (A hive of scum and villainy)
Russia (Cause why not?)

New York, but don't get into street-level minutiae. Build the boroughs and neighborhoods and set them up in areas; don't do 'A and 1st,' do 'Alphabet City' and such. It makes doing things on grid, and mapping as a staffer, so much easier.

@Derp

Too much frockdrama.

@Wizz

I wish someone would run a MU* based on Dogs in the Vineyard in Utah, because that's in part the game's actual setting, so I suppose that's the root of my angling but yeah, the Mormon religion makes it so easy in terms of weird as shit backstory.

So what your saying is do like, Brooklyn then have folks have their havens and businesses off that but don't to individual streets?

I think this makes absolute sense.

@DnvnQuinn

That might be TOO big. You can break it down by neighborhoods or groupings of neighborhoods. So for example, you would have Manhattan and then it's divided into rooms like...:
Manhattan - Alphabet City
Manhattan - Midtown
Manhattan - Hell's Kitchen

And so on and so forth, linked appropriately in whatever east/west directions, but never in divisions as small as specific cross-streets. New York has the problem if being f'ing huge though, and a cursory glance at neighborhoods makes me go 'welp, that's a lot of rooms'.
