Ok, well.. I think it's safe to say I owe everyone an apology. I doubt anyone is -still- waiting on this, considering I've left it sitting for.. two months now. Life happened like a ton of bricks, then I lost momentum, and I've had a hard time getting it back. So let's just stick a pin in it...

My apologies for the lack of activity for the past week, I promise I have not forgotten about this idea, and so still want to go through with it. However, last week turned out to be busier than expected, and this week isn't turning out much better, not as busy, but also dealing with being quite...

My intention is to do a write up for a couple groups, and then limit the numbers that can be in each group, and anything else not listed will have to be taen under special consideration. And if supernatural density is already high, I might just turn it down based on that; gotta have SOME humans...

Generally, it's a setting that is very near to reality. "Like real life, but--" basically, so not apocalyptic or blatantly fantastic. The general populace doesn't know about the existence of the supernatural, because it's gotten better at hiding over the centuries just as human society as a...

Update. I'm sorry I haven't gotten things moving just yet, end of last week and start of this has been somewhat hectic for me. I haven't forgotten, and indeed this has still been forefront on my mind in nearly all idle thoughts. It's left plenty of time for the ideas to percolate. Tonight or...

(( Not likely. Not in the original context, anyway. ))

Good hook; though not irony, it is a tragic/comedic coincidence in the traditional sense.

Well then! I'd better get off my hump and start writing lore huh?

The question of antagonism I'm going to leave intentionally ambiguous. Certainly, if we have players to be normal humans, particularly investigators, they will at first be set against the local supernatural communities (once discovered) as potential suspects in the crimes. Ambiguity of morality...

Short answer: to be determined. I don't want to jump the shark right from the start, and as I've said before, at least to start, I'm trying to avoid epic global apocalyptic stuff. I'm not trying to create an atmosphere of middle earth or world of warcraft, I'm trying to create an atmosphere of...

@Christopher Colt At the moment, we just have the initial catalyst decided, and I have one or two hook ideas in mind, and (probably) the first antagonist relating to the opening catalyst. Base idea is that various supernatural creatures have always existed alongside humans, remembered mostly...

@September still open, not started yet; nearing the end of the brainstorming stage, depending on other issues and obligation and projects on my plate I'm likely to begin writing the lore today, getting things ready to start. I would encourage you to read back, though, as it would take a while...

Why should the rich vampires go to all the effort to hunt down, catch, detox and house transients when they can lure their prey to them, by cultivating images of wealth, power, and allure that resonates with the popular entitled youth and young adult crowd? No need to bother with tracking...

Vampires have better taste than that. Pun intended. XP But it does make it a bit easier for new, unaffiliated, or desperate vampires to keep going, when they can't afford to be all refined and opulent.

Portland is pretty laid back. Crime still happens, but it isn't as much of an urban decay cesspit as areas of LA. It's a really friendly city over all, but as a result it's got a very high and visible homeless population.

There are chapters of those famous LA street gangs, as well as motorcycle gangs, across the entire continent. While it isn't likely any Blood or Crip chapter will be very notable, and would have to compete with more local gangs, I'm pretty certain they exist up here. Portland is a useful transit...

The criminal underworld does overlap sometimes, especially where vampires are concerned, but it's usually one-way where it can be done, with the supernaturals involved in organized crime, but the organized crime still being unaware of the presence of supernaturals. For example,, a local yakuza...

@Shireling Present day is the time period, and the setting will likely be, since I haven't had any objections and only positive feedback, Portland Oregon. A big metropolitan area in the middle of a lot of wilderness, it's got lots of mountainous regions, thickly forested regions, isn't far from...

@Mowgli At the moment, I'm just wanting to keep things low key. Earlier in the thread I stated I wasn't going for an epic global apocalyptic thing, at least not yet. I'm looking for a more personal horror and discovery, especially as we are so few yet; Don't get me wrong, a lot of those ideas...

@RedLikeRoses don['t worry too much about it! not every player has to participate in world creation. leave it to freaks like me who like this stuff. ^_^
