I like it this way, I'll be honest. (It also looks less questionable up on my work computer because it blends in well with library stuff.)

@Coin said:

I do point out that the "families" thing was done in Devilshire (a Buffyverse game) before The Reach did it, but there were only four families, which made it much easier to oversee.

It was also done on an oWoD M/M+ only game I ran, Wicked Purity. We only used 3 and each had a different affiliation with a sort of M+ power (One family of psychics, one of thaumaturges, one of cultist sorts. And there was no mixing/mingling of what they could do.). Family-groups make for interesting story in almost any variety game.

I'll throw this one on here, too:

I have a few of these (though I tended to +who so the @doing isn't there). This is the oldest one I've got, off-hand:

I'd recommend Kelly Armstrong's Cainsville series (Omens is the first book. Not really much of a "romance", which is her typical but she's veered away from that in her more recent stuff.). Anton Strout's Simon Canderous series (Dead to Me is the first book there) is obscure enough that it might have missed notice and was pretty entertaining.

I ran a mu* similar to this premise once - an oWoD game called Wicked Purity that was strictly Mortal/Mortal+ and all the supers were monsters/NPC antagonists. The player base never got to be huge, but there was a lot of good storytelling to be had in that sort of a setting.

All the cool kids are doing this, it must be the things to do. This is who I have been:

Past Staffing:
Harahel@San Francisco (Mortal/+ Staff)
Ruin@SHH (Headstaff)
Dresden@The Reach (Build co-TL, various family staffing)
Windshear@Depraved Creations (General Game Admin)
DarkRider@Dark Metal (Mortal+ Admin)
Voodoo@Denver: Dark Destiny (Headstaff, Mortal+ staff)
Cold Spell@Ashes to Ashes (Mortal+ Wiz)
Mspris@Wicked Purity (Headstaff)
Mspris@Bloody Roses (Headstaff)

Past PCs:
Charlotte and Miriam@San Francisco
Lucy and Agatha@SHH
Crystal, Lucy, Agatha, Honey@The Reach
Poppy, Panthea, Regina and Cierra@Depraved Creations
Calliope@Haunted Memories
Jenny, Eliza and Brenna@Denver: Dark Destiny
Lydia@Ashes to Ashes
Hannah@Due Rewards
Iolia@Aether 1.0
Cassandra@The Forth Cycle
Mira@Metro
Dyan@Eternal Night
Faith, Lily, Geneva, Sorcha@Crack

And there are probably another dozen or so PCs that I don’t remember offhand. There were a bunch of Marvel Comics mushes before I started playing WoD heavily.

Currently
Isla@Goldenroad (1st year Mysterium Acanthus)

I'm also currently working on building a CoD game, a small handful of people know about that and that's enough for now as it's not ready to be shared broadly yet.

Thank you, indeed. I've been missing WORA recently, I will admit.
