Roleplay musings

Since out last game fell apart from RL issues it’s been a while since we played a game and it’s nice to start afresh now and then, so a new vampire game is planned. And I intend to report it here :)

It’s going to be different. For one thing, I have chosen a city that actually exists to be the setting (I’ve mauled it hugely and changed it a lot, but it’s amazing the amount of inspiration you get from researching a city and all the plot hooks inherent.) Yuma, Arizona (I’ve massively increase the population and tweaked the history for game reasons, though) because there’s something vaguely amusing about having vampires in the sunniest place on earth.

Of course, I was slightly worried when the players instantly checked out Arizona gun laws and came up with “you can carry just about anything without a permit so long as it’s not concealed.” To which one of the players added “how am I supposed to conceal THIS gun anyway?“ I don’t know what “this” gun was but I have the fear. I didn’t believe them but that actually does seem to be true and I have yet to find anything that proves them wrong. Oh dear, this could be a problem.


ETA: My knowledge of Arizona is... loose. If anyone with more info than me out there wants to drop some relevent facts I should be aware of on me (of Arizona or Yuma), I'd much appreciate it (because I is lazy and it is easier than fact checking) especially if something becomes obviously relevent in the game

But I digress: The Opening setting of the game:
