"City of Love and Lust" is a great one. I'm a sucker for a good romantic subplot, personally, and while I'm open to vampires in Paris I want to make sure it's not just another bunch of vamps the same as everywhere else, you know?

Thanks for the link to the documentary!

Yeah, we have plans for the Catacombs, and I would like to use the Metro, Notre-dame and more. As I say, locations are easy to come up with.

It's Themes that are more challenging. But something about "Boundaries" sounds potentially useful, and one of our players had already clued us in to the spiral nature of the city's neighborhoods.

I appreciate everyone who has chipped in so far, and look forward to any and all comments. This is our first attempt at making a city.

Four friends and I are beginning a Dresden game set in the city of Paris. We have some ideas for the city already, but we're new to the FATE system and I'd love to see what you all think would make for good Themes or Threats for the city.

We already have agreed that Paris has become "the place where all the Black Magicians run to." We're calling it "Black Magic Mecca," and these Black Magicians have formed a sort of "do what thou wilt is the whole of the law" club. The White Council, busy with the Vampire War, finds it easier to contain these guys in the city and post an observer there than go in and try to root all of these guys out.

But we're looking for more Theme/Threat ideas. There's plenty of Locations we can use, but because we know so little about Paris's actual crime/social/economic problems, coming up with Themes/Threats that are appropriately dark and, well, threatening is a challenge.

Any ideas?
