DFRPG / Re: Dresden Files RPG in New Orleans

* Neutral ground: Jean Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop. It's one of the oldest buildings in New Orleans, and for a long time was run independent of the local powers because of Jean Lafitte's influence (he was a local privateer big-wig back in the day). It's also small, crowded, dark, musty, and thematically perfect for a hole-in-the-wall meeting place. Practically, you might have to invent a side room or second floor to segregate the supernaturals from the normal patrons, but that wouldn't be too hard.

Great place to go to, but I would never go there IRL, all the tourists go there, the 2x nightly vampire tour as well as the ghosts tours use it as a watering hole mid tour.
Kinda ruins the vibe.

In game it's easy to rewrite something as workable because in game you can say it's outta the way and no one goes there.

I liked it, but got frustrated at what was there vs. not there for pay / not pay - which is fair enough, they have to make money - but I ended up going with Wikia. I do like a lot of the pages I've seen there. Some of them have a ton of love happenin' in their designs.
Wikia is that designed for RPGs or a generic Wiki generator?

I had a GM give that a try.  I think it has a lot of potential, though we didn't end up making much use of it.  I'm not sure how it would help significantly with a hearing barrier at the table, though -- you'd still need sign language involved, I assume.


Well yeah, among the hearing players 1/2 of us are fluent in ASL.
I was thinking of this as a quick reference so the summary of the cities and PCs and known NPCs can be accessed easily prior to game time.

Oh as for ideas on your game.

Use the Bayou and surrounding areas.
There are lots of legends you could tap into as having never never connections.
The Fae, or even some Loa.
Plus you could have things that live in the cities of the dead famous to that city.

So, I'm trying to flesh out a game that I'll hopefully be starting in a month or so. Since I'm close by I decided to use New Orleans. A few nice points, a) The City of New Orleans website has .pdf's of the separate areas of the city road maps

I know it's off topic but I am writing a book based in New Awlins and even though my family is from there I am home bound now and can't really walk the streets.
What is that website you are talking about it could help me with the book.

Plus I think I will have my groups City based there too just because I love the city so much.

They started off mortal like the Erlking started off mortal, if I remember correctly.

Where do you remember that from exactly?

You know if it is molly.
That could be how Mab said you will bow before me and take the mantle of Winter night.

She already knew he would/did.
Plus that would allow her to have been speaking the truth too.

It is a paradox though. Molly, knowing Mab boinks Harry, decides to study rites of ascension for a few decades, study time travel (on the down-low) for a bit after to go back to the past, becomes Mab with her mom and grandmother, along and the Summer trio (in the process becoming inhuman to the point of almost evil), waits for millenia, and finally gets him on the Table for a single good time. I think it is a bit convoluted for Molly. She just needs to get him a big case of Mac's good stuff once he is back.

Where does it say Molly knows?
Only the Fae saw the show, and others only suspect massive power but know not it's source.

Even if Harry tells her one day I doubt he would describe the actual ritual that transpired.

You can change your screen name from your profile's account settings, if that's of any use to you.  Beyond that, I think you'd need an Admin's skillz.

Thanks, that is what I wanted.
That is good enough, I saw that, but didn't think that was what I wanted so I didn't try it....
Smart huh.
I swear in the real world I am a Physics major and Engineering major I swear....
