Just kicked off a new four part campaign last night. Our setting is Los Angeles and I’m going to try to play with the economic class distinctions between characters. In our game we have:
Galina the Hunter (East. European who came over 25 years ago to be a star, was pulled into the world of prostitution and porn, her mentor Alexis got her out of it by training her to be a hunter).
Natalie the Wolf (Member of a gang/pack in Inglewood, fighting against the spreading gentrification around her territory, particularly by ambitious Fae).
Anthony the Aware (An ambitious young writer, pens scripts for the teen drama Werewolves in Paris. He has a penchant for getting those around him into trouble with the motivation of becoming wealthy one day. Is seeing how in control supernatural elements are in the City of Angels).
Yuko the Oracle (An elderly Japanese woman of undetermined age. She helps the rich and famous foretell their futures for a price while pursuing more noble goals. She has recently learned of a group of closeted vampires in the industry, The Vamp Pack, and they want her dead for discovering their secret).
Ron the Tainted (An actor who decided to go the extra mile for a role and ended up in the thrall of a demon who sold Ron’s contract to a devious plastic surgeon. Now Ron has to work for said surgeon while defending his daughter from the souls of the demon’s previous victims).
Lots of potential plot threads already floating around in this game. Very excited to see where things go.
Super cool! I can’t wait to hear how it goes down.
Awesome! Are you using the LA map?
Mark Diaz Truman Yep, using the newly released map. I did a screen cap and inserted it into a google doc, flanked by an NPC list and Locations list. Link – https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1fa44etE75aGcsM-_S-tTXI5SHJqx0TDR_WQCqDcjim8/view
SO AWESOME. Mark Richardson will be excited to hear they are already being used.
Did you find Inglewood on the map or did you already have a familiarity with the area?
It was already there and I did a one page write up for my players with very brief overviews of the major neighborhoods. My Wolf was drawn to the idea of the high black population struggling with corporate gentrification and decided to make Inglewood her territory.
After getting (rightfully) chewed out by the Wolf, I think Anthony’s in prime position for a turnaround. 😀
I really wish I could play. My new work schedule sucks.
It’s very awesome to see the map being used like this. This is way cool Seth Harris
