This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Mordred Pendragon

I am seriously considering running a Vampire: The Masquerade game set in New York City circa 1978, when NYC was nearly bankrupt and a crime-ridden hellhole. The Big Rotten Apple.

Three points of divergence will be kept in mind....

1. Revised Edition never happened and never will happen. Demon: The Fallen is declared non-canon

2. No personal horror, this game is not for whiny crybabies or people who enjoy Type O Negative unironically

3. The Sabbat never controlled New York City in this continuity, but they are trying to take over NYC in the 70's.

I would like to see something Sumerian too.  One thing that I hadn't considered before is that while there may be many wild creatures/monsters running around and strange and exotic tribes dotting the landscape, this wouldn't necessarily be a "post-apocalypse" setting.  There is no predecessor civilization that left ruins and treasure laying around (unless, of course, you posit that there was one to add that element to the game.)  This would be an age of exploration and discovery as you learned about the world and all of its mysteries.

I do have Blood and Bronze but for some reason it left me cold.
