I’ve been wanting to play US for a while and was wondering if anyone was interested in running a short or long campaign. Didn’t see any terribly recent posts about people starting up games.
Hey folks.
Hey folks. Los Angeles city guide writer here. All of us city guide writers are busy turning in our drafts for editing, and I have to say I’m pretty excited about how L.A. has turned out so far. We’ve still got tweaking to do, but I’m stoked to be able to share my vision of the place where I work and play! L.A. is weird and awesome and I think you’re going to have a lot of fun : )

I was just asked about the intro question ‘what does your character desperately need’ by a player in my new campaign and was wondering how you would clarify a good answer to the question.
Is a good nights sleep a compelling answer for a Oracle suffering terrible nightmares?
I’m running the game Andy Hauge is in.
I’m running the game Andy Hauge is in. We had some great moments last night. My favorite was the end of the session when Galina the Hunter and her mentor Alexis tracked down rumors of a demon possession to a beach house in Venice. Alexis was making vague accusations towards Galina the whole time, implying disloyalty to their hunting party. When they arrived at the house a party was going on which left Galina a bit confused about what was going on.
Alexis led her upstairs where they found Bella, the ghost-tormented twenty-something daughter of Ron the Tainted. Without hesitation, Alexis fired and struck Bella in the head killing her. This triggered the appearance of a demon Galina had a run in with earlier who subsequently broke her arm and set his sights on Alexis. Sensing his daughter in trouble, Ron the Tainted appeared in full demon form and crushed in Alexis skull to get at a protection amulet she wore with the hopes of aiding Bella. It didn’t work and Ron has to pledge himself to the demon to ensure Bella’s survival.
Galina sized up the Nameless Demon and realized that he would be vulnerable if she committed an act of corruption. As a hunter, her corruption move was to kill a mortal while in pursuit of a supernatural being. She eyed her mentor Alexis and made the decision to finish her off. For that brief moment she was infused with enough corruption to grab the Nameless Demon by the horns and snap its neck. In that instant, the Demon’s hold on Ron transferred to Galina. Now she is a hunter with a demon at her command. And that’s how the session wrapped up.

In my first session of a short-run game (which was brief, because we also had character creation), I was the stupid Aware who brought mage attention onto the Wolf’s turf.
In my second session, I dropped a name to get the mages off my back, waltzed in all cocky to the Wolf’s hangout, and then after the Wolf tangled with some mages outside, wound up getting to know the Night faction a little more closely than I’d bargained on.
I accordingly got to advance after the intimacy move with the Wolf, and decided to pick up the Wolf’s move Reckless.
I think I turned around.

Just kicked off a new four part campaign last night.
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.

Okay, with the upcoming Spirit of ’77 RPG (currently in Kickstarter), I’ll be starting to get into *-World games, and this one really caught my interest. I had no money to spare for it while it was in Kickstarter, and then I lost track until now.
So, Hi! And does anyone know where I can get a copy of the rules?
So I have the playtest docs but have never been able to find a group to run or play. Anyone willing to run a…
So I have the playtest docs but have never been able to find a group to run or play. Anyone willing to run a one-shot or mini-campaign?
I’m sort of new around here. Is there a list of city guides either developed or under development?
