The East Village of New York was a place where artists of all genders, races, and sexuality could gather and live to make art together or alone. Painters, musicians, writers, filmmakers, photographers, and many more could work in a place with low rent and on the cheap. However, in recent years there have been more developments causing rent to go up. Many artists have had to leave to Brooklyn or the Bronx because of the threat of gentrification. Those still living there may not have much more time left. The East Village is located in Manhattan and was pretty much the birthplace of Bohemia. In the early 1900s many people seen to be “strange” lived there because rent was low and it allowed them to make a living doing things that could usually not sustain a person. Later it became a large part of the 1960s folk music scene, with artists like Bob Dylan and Dave Van Ronk coming from this area. As the years went on it was still very much known for it's artistic folk and cultural development, but it was beginning to become a much wealthier area.
This roleplay is set in the mid 1990s (96ish) which is before the gentrification that it is known for now but the threat of it is very looming.
Was apart of this roleplay awhile back and sadly, it had died. It's from a different RPG but I am looking to revive it with my own edition. Loosely based off the movie Rent. Though knowledge of the movie is not required.
