@InkGolem I could technically run an official one, honestly, if I felt like it.
But I don’t have the coding expertise or the time.
-
As in the official tabletop system, or?
-
@InkGolem Well, the IP rights are no longer with Onyx Path; they expired and moved back to the original IP-holder, who I do work for.
-
@Redbird Man, have I got some Pucci stories from back in the day

From discussion on another thread, I’m now curious which US states have never had a MU* with them as their primary location. Here’s what I found from a cursory search.
California - Liberation
Colorado - Sheltering Skies, Shadowrin Denver
Louisiana - Black Bayou
New Mexico - Masquerade
Virginia - Keys
Washington - GarouMUSHGame-runner of Silent Heaven, a small-town horror MU.

@Jumpscare There was that shifter game set in Wyoming

Ding-ding-ding…Mummy Pun? MUMMY PUN!

I was working on a game a few years back set in Utah about the fight against a secret society of supernatural body jumpers hidden within a large, prominent religion here but in the end figured it would be more headache than it was worth, lol.
but I still think SLC would be a fascinating setting for urban fantasy/horror.
-
I remember a game in the late 90s that was set in a weird small town, and if anyone asked if the game was set in X state, the answer was always yes.
-
I’ve never seen a game set in North Dakota.
I was about to say I’ve never seen a game set in Australia either but an old memory is tickling my brain on that one.
-
@Hobbie Minot, North Dakota. Ground Squirrels of Darkness!
-
-
@labsunlimited The second someone spins up a World of Mild Discomfort set in Minot I am there.
-
There was a game set in Honolulu in the late 90s! I played myself (basically) and became ghouled to the toreador primogen.
-
@Jennkryst Idaho’s been done, as has Washington State. John Wayne’s werewolf game - I forget the name of it - was set in Idaho, and GarouMUSH was set in Washington State.
-
I’ve updated the list with the ones you all remembered the names of, haha.
-
I was going to make a New Jersey joke, but upon reflection, Atlantic City would make a great setting. Lots of class issues, places for things to hide…
-
Plus, everything’s legal in Jersey.
-
WoD North Dakota would be interesting for some spheres and not for others. It would work well for Werewolf and Mage, but to do Vampire there, you’d have to increase the populations and sizes of the major cities to support Vampires, and by doing so, eliminate one of the unique aspects of North Dakota as a state, namely the relative isolation and small populations of the communities there.
-
Vamps would have it hard, yes, hunting would be extremely hard. They would need to subsist on mandragora gardens, animals, and closely guarded herds imported for that purpose. The relative isolation does mean far less oversight, though, so it’s way easier to hide your underground dungeon full of blood dolls.
