@Jumpscare The game-owner was Tek with a new handle on. The game went under a few weeks after they were outed for lying to everyone.

Are you Tek? https://brandmu.day/topic/53/mu-peeves-thread/1490?_=1760278262487

Oh, thank you for finding that! It explains everything.

@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.

InkGolem

@Redbird

As in the official tabletop system, or?

Redbird

@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.

InkGolem

@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 - GarouMUSH

@Jumpscare There was that shifter game set in Wyoming

@Jumpscare Aaaaaalaaaaabama, Alaska, Arizona (I almost marked this because I forgot Reno was in Nevada), Arkansas, ~~California~~ (Several), ~~Colorado~~ (Sheltering Skies, Shadowrun Denver, others), Connecticut. ding-ding-ding Delaware, ~~Florida~~ (I played on an oWoD game in Florida before I made it to CoH, but this was years ago), Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, ~~Illinois~~(surely there’s been Chicago, right?), Indiana! Ding-ding-ding…

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.

Hobbie

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!

@Hobbie said in Missed Settings:

Australia

Everyone’s dead by the end of the first week.

Hobbie

@labsunlimited The second someone spins up a World of Mild Discomfort set in Minot I am there.

somasatori

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.

Jumpscare

I’ve updated the list with the ones you all remembered the names of, haha.

InkGolem

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…

@InkGolem

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.
