[QUOTE="The_Fan, post: 2336654, member: 11607"] I'm going to start running this campaign tonight, and I'm debating on what kind of tone to give it. Obviously, the city is thoroughly corrupt, possibly irredeemably so. Such a corrupt city can be treated several ways: 1) Ankh-Morpork: It is a city that is so comedicly corrupt crime has been unionized. In this version, Balabar Smenk would be played in a way reminiscent of Boss Hogg. Comparisons can easily be drawn between the lake and the Ankh river. The Dizzy Giant is proud of being the most reputable disreputable tavern in town, while the Feral Dog is proud of being the least. The Hungry Gar probably bears culinary resemblence to CMOT Dibbler's fare. Etc. 2) Sin City: It's a city so vile that the Age of Worms might be a godsend, eating out the cancerous filth of this city like maggots on a gangrenous wound. Purple Prose's prostitutes would be played like the Old Town girls. Balabar Smenk is closer to Senator Roarke. This version the lake would play a symbolic role showing how far the city has fallen, a rotting cesspool from which all manner of disease infects the city. Etc. 3) Deadwood: I've heard that this is perhaps the best tone, but I've yet to actually see Deadwood. Any suggestions on how to run it with this tone would be appreciated. How do you plan to run it? [/QUOTE]
