Hey, y'all. Somewhat new.

I am working up a campaign and I need some help on the larger context.

It will be 1849 San Francisco right before the Gold Rush. The players will be a conglomeration of Mexican, Peruvian, Chinese, Native American, maybe an Aussie, and English settlers.

I have decided that the Red Court are a New World power, and have not yet established formal diplomatic ties with the White Council. Stoker's Dracula has not yet been written. Many Native American Tribes have not made contact with the council either. Japan is still closed to the west, and China is mostly closed.

So a few things that will go on throughout the campaign is discovery of the Red Court, possible contact with the Jade Court through Chinese immigrants (they {will} feed off of people's knowledge), White Council trying to identify and assimilate American Indian practitioners, and Mab seeking to establish/write the Accords.

I have a couple of NPC's I may involve, including Ebenezer, Margaret, Luccio, maybe the original St. Giles founder, and others.

(1) I could use some thoughts on any of that. None of the group has read any significant amount of Dresden, so that will make the discoveries fun.

(2) Any good info on Luccio, Ebenezer, or Margaret? I don't even know when the latter was born. Probably not yet.

(3) Magicians v Tech probably isn't yet an issue, yet I think that the problems with curdling milk are probably long past. Any good ideas on what the Magician jinx is?

I may have other questions. I hope a few folks are lingering around who can help me out.
