Brief character intros for our session;

Von Raith (White Court virgin, not really related to our Raiths. but sorta).

Jakobs (Pure Mortal, bad ass for hire/troubleshooter for Marcone)

Lucy (Minor talent)

Kaleghr (Minor talent but much more talented than Lucy.  GM's character)

Owen (Pure Mortal, has a fiancee named Beru)

Alora (Changling.  Her other half is fetch. GM and I decided on this since she wanted to play a changling who knew NOTHING about herself)

Janey Doe (Werecat)

Eric (Werecat)



So we've been trying to find Owen's fiancee who was kidnapped by Black Court.  We find her chained to the wall in a room with Von Raith, who has more or less been mentally raping her, trying to turn.  The group is NOT happy with him, and have hence forth called him Von Douche.

Long story short, as we're making our way out from Undertown, the group gets caught in a fight with a Black Court Vamp, and everyone goes to attack... EXCEPT Von Raith, who decides to walk away from the fight, and try to finish the job on Beru.  Lucy is guarding Beru, and shocks Von Raith into a catatonic state for the remainder of the scene.

It was a real dick move, but him walking away from a climatic fight like that was hilarious.

Thanks for the help guys.

My character is more of a 'Kincaid' type; he is a pure mortal/muggle, but he has skill in the art of killing

I figured eventually, my character would see someone use a force ring, and I'd just be like, "Oooh! What's that, and how do I get one?"

But I'll talk it over with the group.  Thanks for the feed back. Cheers.

Greetings and salutations fellow Chicagoian!

So my buddy/buddies and I are actually playing a game within Chicago, and we're (my buddy and I are the 'GM's'.  I'm more of a co-GM, but still works) looking for new ideas/occult ideas to use. Great thread (or start of one).

Here's a link I found that direct to certain 'ghost stories', and I'll add other noteworthy places in Chicago/Dresden Books (like Saint Mary of the Angels.  My Great-Great Uncle actually helped found the Church back in the late 1800's. And I got married there too!).

Really though, those pictures don't do it justice.  If you live in Chicago, check out that church. (take the 90 to Armitage.  You really can't miss it.)

Other noteworthy things, not really occult, would be the mafia/Capone era.  It'd make for some interesting backstory/locations involving other characters (Marcone, maybe the other Vamp courts, etc.).

Parks in the Chicago area.

So there's a few resources for now.  Not a lot of occult, but certainly some places you could use to make it authentic.

Cheers!
