As the kids say, it me.

I played a character one time with the shtick of "law professor woman who wears men's suits 24/7." The Played By was an actress who is known for her forays into men's clothing. In retrospect, this is pretty cringy, so yeah. I'm very sorry about possibly harming LGBTQIA people thinking I was being oh so clever...when I wasn't being clever at all.

@Coin It's true! You're the best.

And yes, I like AU, but you have to establish your characters and their relationships first so the contrast pops.

That was so unexpected. But it was worth it, just to hear an entire barbershop full of people yell "Paul George?!" at once.

France is perhaps the most stridently secular country on the planet, and I'd be surprised if those oligarchs have been to mass since Christmas. The fact is simply that the US does not have a monolithic religious history like France does, and the US hasn't been around long enough for any one church to acquire that sort of status.

For as much as the United States makes a business out of religion, it is interesting to see it quietly ignore the burning of three churches whilst a secular nation like France rallies.

It has nothing to do with religion and everything to do with racism.

@Admiral said in City of Shadows:

If the game is set in Chicago, will you be requiring all law enforcement characters to take racism-based flaws?

Trolling aside, Chicago is a cool setting.

Isn't that law enforcement in most US cities, to be honest?

Then again, most players make white characters, so...

I was a little surprised. We barely see Adam Driver at all in the trailer. Makes me wonder if they're gonna backseat him.

I see what you did there.

@coin It seems that there are people who don't want any noir in their Witcher, if you catch my meaning.

In any case, Glen Cook has written a series of books about a private investigator named Garrett in a world that is pretty much DnD, with fantasy races and such. And it is done in a noir style.

@cupcake I'm part of the problem when it comes to games set in real cities. I'm a Cleveland native. I looked at that Cleveland Buffy game and noped right out.

Hmm. The Cleveland Hellmouth is, as already said, canonical.

So if it moved, then you have two probable options:

Evil Dayton witches moved it to Dayton, or

Good Cleveland witches closed the Cleveland Hellmouth, and Hellmouths never really go away.

(My theory is they closed the Hellmouth in 2016. Why the hell do you think the Cavs (and Monsters, heh) won?)

Are the Humans just Mortal, or can they be Mortal+? And which book would be used for Human, in either case?

All I ask is that the game has someone on the staff who knows Chicago. Thank you.

...fire in the sky?

Cobalt, thank you so much for the chance to play an old character and play with people old and new. Your health is more important than this hobby, so I'm good with letting the curtain fall.

Best of luck to you.
