				Ok, everyone who is interested can toss out a&nbsp; few suggestions for fun places to set our game. As previously mentioned I'm ruling out South and Central America (Red Court stronghold) and Scotland (White Council HQ). Pretty much anything else we can discuss.<br><br>Ok, here is who is suggesting where:<br><br>Miami (6) - Muse (2nd), ReijiTabibito (1st), Schrödinger (2nd), Mad Panda (2nd), Imogen (2nd)<br>Seattle (4) - Archivist (2nd), Dizzied (2nd), <br>Denver (2) - <del>Paladin (1st),</del> Archivist (1st), <del>Jeramiahh (2nd)</del><br>Prague (2) - Muse (1st)<br>New Orleans (6) - Mad Panda (1st), Imogen (1st), Hairy (1st)<br>Bucharest (1) - ReijiTabibito (2nd)<br>Las Vegas (4) -&nbsp; Schrödinger (1st), Dizzied (1st), <del> Jeramiahh (1st)</del><br><br>If I haven't picked your city choice out the way you want, let me know.<br><br>Edit - Editing this post to reflect current votes.

				I'm game for the entire south coast of the United States - Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Missippi and Louisiana, really. There's certainly a charm to the south which could be a nice contrast to some of the stark and dark elements of the Dresden Files universe. Cities and specifics we can work out once we at least established location, I suppose?

				I prefer somewhere a bit further North.&nbsp; Kind of hard to justify the Winter Court in, say, Miami.&nbsp; Although I'd be game for Miami, in a Burn Notice sort of way.<br><br>For various reasons, I like the Pacific Coast (but concede that San Francisco and LA are overdone).&nbsp; Lots of old missions around, with who knows how many ancient secrets hidden away.&nbsp; Further North, Seattle and Portland have useful Undergrounds.

				I've always been a fan of Seattle, but I'll throw a vote out there for Denver as well. Colorado holds a special place in my heart, and I think Denver provides a nice mix of elements that tends itself to storytelling. Plus there's mountains, and there's always fun to be had in mountains! *wicked grin*

				I'd say any of the three cities mentioned, Miami, Denver, or Seattle, would work well.<br><br>I'd like to see a decent presence for at least one of the Faerie courts, I'm thinking about working whichever one is stronger into my background.

				Geographically, I could enjoy any setting.&nbsp; But I think I'd prefer an older city, with a richer history, than a newer one.&nbsp; I was going to suggest London or Paris, but on second thought, I'd rather keep it in America.&nbsp; (Since I'm not too culturally wise to European ways.)<br><br>Would Philadelphia or Arlington interest anyone?&nbsp; Lots of opportunities for national politics in the later.&nbsp; <br><br>Out of the 3 cities mentioned, though, I think I favor Denver.

				I have three locations as a suggestion.<br><br>My first one is Bucharest.&nbsp; Granted, it's not the US, but Eastern Europe, and that region in particular, have long been associated with vampires, and the legend of Dracula.&nbsp; Normally, that would be vampire central, but given that the Black Court is destroyed and fragmented, I would say it would be an interesting study - who tries to fill the supernatural power vacuum left behind by the annihilation of the Blacks?<br><br>Second is Miami, for the reasons I originally gave - hot days, hotter nights.<br><br>Last is Las Vegas - lots of showy things, street magicians (both mundane and magical), and a whole lot of fun.

				Ok, I think we have enough of a selection of cities now. I'll suggest everyone nominate their top two, and we'll see what gets the most votes. 2 points for your first choice, 1 for your second, and if necessary I'll vote for a tie breaker.<br><br>That sound ok?

				To play devil's advocate here Panda, all four of those votes for Miami are second choices. If you strip out the second choices entirely, you get this:<br><br>Miami (0) -<br>Seattle (1) - Mad Panda<br>Denver (1) - Archivist<br>Prague (2) - Muse<br>New Orleans (0)<br>Bucharest (1) - ReijiTabibito (1st)<br>Las Vegas (3) -&nbsp; Schrödinger, Dizzied, Jeramiahh <br><br>So either way, Las Vegas is winning at the moment.<br><br>

				I see your point actually.<br><br>To throw this in there, we're still missing Imogen's vote so at this point it's 7/8 votes cast... I'm not including Hairy in that because he said he'd be a tie breaker. <br><br>Assuming Imogen casts a vote for Las Vegas, it's 50% for Vegas.. if not, then you have about 38% for Vegas. By any modern voting system that's not enough, but it does force a run-off. At that point, since the other 62% of the votes are scatters over four other choices, we need to eliminate Miami and New Orleans as choices entirely, then re-vote? Keep removing lowest choices until we get a clear majority?<br><br>Those are just my thoughts.

				Vegas may very well be a white court stronghold.&nbsp; But I don't see it having any more advanced machinery than the next city.&nbsp; Slot machines aren't particularly advanced in their construction, and most tables in a casino are dealt by hand.&nbsp; Prostitution is legal, magic shows on stage are common...seems old-fashioned if you ask me.<br><br>I'm willing to compromise, though.&nbsp; Frankly, I don't mind where the game is set.&nbsp; The GM can decide if he wants to make things easy on himself.&nbsp; Iris can go wherever the trail leads her.&nbsp; :)&nbsp; <br><br>(If I ever run a game, it's going to be in Mexico city.)

				It's not much about advanced Dizzied, it's about quantity. The books make it fairly clear that even driving a car is risky business around a wizard, and casting spells works very well to erase anything computer related in a pretty wide area. Think about the number of computers, security systems, cars, cameras, slot machines, bank ATMs, etc... everything would have a meltdown anytime anything went down on the Strip. We'd basically have to RP out in the suburbs, and where's the fun in that lol.

				Maybe it's because I've never been to Vegas, but I still don't think the city would have any more of those things than, say, New York.&nbsp; I can't see why it'd have more computers or cars or atm's.&nbsp; Maybe security systems and things like that would be more common, but if Harry can walk into a museum of natural history, or go on a boat without causing it severe damage, I think we could get away with Vegas as a setting.&nbsp; I don't think the mechanics are a prime reason to turn it down, anyway.&nbsp; If its unpopular thats another story.

				If people want to change their votes in light of all this, I have no objections. Likewise you can suggest a city that isn't on the list. I was just putting up what seemed the most popular choices.<br><br>Frankly I'm good with anywhere that has sufficient background for us to work with. If I were to pick myself, I'd probably go with something like New Orleans for #1, and maybe Prague or even New York for #2.<br><br>I'm happy to work with any choice really, as long as we can work up good hooks.

				After a reconsideration of our current cast, I must blushingly admit that perhaps Hairy's suggestion of New Orleans is a good one.&nbsp; Much as I like Miami, it might be easier to use the Big Easy since it's a freepin' Weirdness Magnet to begin with.<br><br>Plus, if we start pre-Katrina, we'd have a Port Royal moment to deal with.

				Ok, here's a nice little Threat for the city - Supernatural Power Struggle<br>New Orleans was, and technically still is, a White Court stronghold. Not to the same extent as some of the larger cities, but House Raith always had a decent presence there, and the banquet that was Mardi Gras tended to attract plenty of their kin.<br>In the wake of the devastation caused by Katrina though, House Skavis has started to muscle in. Feeding on despair, it is in their interest to keep the recovery of the city to a slow crawl, full of red tape, costs over runs and uncaring bureaucracy. <br>Needless to say, House Raith is not exactly impressed by this, and while neither side would be so gauche as to outright attack the other, well, accidents have been known to happen, and their frequency is slowly, but steadily increasing.

				As a potential theme to NOLA, maybe something like "Waiting for the Other Shoe to Drop".&nbsp; Katrina was a huge disaster and while things have gotten closer to normal, there's this feeling that things aren't quite over yet.&nbsp; From the supernatural standpoint, Katrina was a great opportunity for anyone crazy and/or strong enough to harness it.&nbsp; What if there was some indication that it had happened, that someone had tapped into the hurricane, but there so far has been no indication of what that power was used for.&nbsp; So now, the Supernaturals are on edge waiting to find out what that power was used for.<br><br>I think it kind of ties well with the threat of "Supernatural Power Struggle".

				That does sound like a good city theme...but another possibility is Power Vacuum.&nbsp; Given the city's associations, the White Court would have been buried in every layer of the city, from top to bottom.&nbsp; Now, say, maybe Katrina caused a huge disruption and upset within the city.&nbsp; And while the WCVs are still strong, they've been dislodged a bit from their position of power.

				&nbsp;Thus allowing for someone with enough power to step in an d challenge them while us the wizards are stuck somewhere in the middle.

				Actually, Power Vacuum could be rolled into Supernatural Power Struggle.&nbsp; So not only are Raith and Skavis contending for power, a third and maybe fourth party is also joining in to seize ground as well.&nbsp; Hey, you know what, have it so that RCVs and BCVs are part of the struggle, since quite a few of the characters have a past with the other courts.&nbsp; Toss in an enterprising warlock, who may or may not have tapped into Katrina, and the stew gets really ugly.&nbsp; Maybe add in the Fae somehow or have some other kind of Emissary of Power add a little spice to the pot.<br><br>And here's a scary thought, following up from what Sessha said: what if Katrina was supposed to hit New Orleans dead on but something diverted it?

				That's the default, yes, but if we have a few more or less it should be ok. We also have 9 faces, but again, if we can come up with more interesting ideas, then let's use them.<br><br>As examples, our supernatural power struggle would be a Theme, though a hidden one. One one side you have House Raith, wanting to rebuild the city, and get the lust flowing again like it did before. On the other, you have House Skavis, wanting to delay that, and if possible bring people down further. Their battlegrounds are the areas hit worst by the weather.<br><br>Using bureaucratic infighting, red tape, inefficiency and so on, Skavis can delay rebuilding of peoples homes and businesses ... not enough to force them to leave .. they don't want their food source moving elsewhere .. but enough to keep them feeling ground down. <br><br>Until recently they've been making good progress in the lower rent areas of the city ... but now in at least one of them, the mysterious Mister Bokor has appeared, and Skavis agents that make themselves just a little too obvious in that part of town ... vanish.

				Balance of power?<br><br>Supernatural status quo looks like House Skavis is nurturing the despair and feeding off of it while House Raith is bringing things back to pre-Katrina.&nbsp; House Skavis looks to be like the only faction that wants to keep things as they are.&nbsp; House Raith and all the other vampires look to want to change things.&nbsp; Mister Bokor is a wild card.<br><br>We haven't exactly looked at the mortals so far.&nbsp; Depending as to how recent Katrina was in our game, the nature and rate of crime will change.&nbsp; Just off of reputation alone, I'm guessing the status quo is crime and tourism, with rebuilding maybe in the background if we get closer to the current time.&nbsp; Maybe gangs?&nbsp; Not sure about organized crime.&nbsp; Probably corrupt politicians if House Skavis is working the bureaucracy in order to slow rebuilding down.

				Ok, here's a little something more for the city.<br><br>Accorded Neutral Territory<br><br>The Place D'Armes Hotel is one of the most luxurious hotels in the historical French Quarter, it's 84 rooms divided amongst 8 historic townhouses which surround a lush courtyard. Of course, most people don't realise that one of those townhouses tends to cater to a more exclusive clientele than the others.<br><br>Inside can be found one of the finest restaurants in the city, if one of the least well known. The 13 guest rooms are always available to those who know just how to ask for them, and the meeting rooms are state of the art. While most hotels in the quarter will boast of a ghost or two, the Place D'Armes hosts the only one who still regularly entertains guests. Madame Emmanuelle Deneuve has been resident for some three centuries, going back to the time the Hotel was one of the most exclusive brothels in the city.<br><br>On any given night, several of the guest rooms will be occupied, and the restaurant will play host to a selection of the supernatural population of the city. The standard rules for accorded neutral territory apply, and the staff are prepared to enforce them, to the limit of their abilities.
