[Changeling] Scattered Ideas

[atolnon]

I am, oh so tentatively, putting parts together for my Changling campaign set around St. Louis. I like how my last game went, a Mage game centered around East St. Louis and its devastating history. It's a game that could have gone better, but is still probably my high-water mark as an ST. Some of my initial goals were basically unrelated. It's taking place in the near future, probably the Spring of 2010 as the area sees flooding similar to 1993.
The themes are shaping up to be paranoia in a sweltering, humid environment along with the competing drives between the desire for a mundane life versus being pulled into a life of the supernatural by a combination of curiosity, need, and the desire to act on the behalf of others. Also features spys, privateers, number stations, and local areas of interest.

I'm pretty deep into the research phase at this point.

using the seasonal courts I assume? any idea what types your players may go for?

One's going to be a businessman and the other wants to be something of a vigilante. The first is looking to hide his light under the proverbial bushel while the vigilante embraces it. They're both looking to be Spring Court, and I've only got two.

For all my bluster, I'm pretty sure this game is going to end up looking like Tango and Cash.

ah the spring court. 2 of my Changelings are spring too.

The vigilante I am surprised did not go for Summer.

He's not a vigilante because he's angry, but because he finds it exciting and feels that it gives hope to others. Just like the other isn't Winter because he's not sad; he's following his path to be with his mother, who barely remembers him.

fair enough.
