[QUOTE="Hand of Evil, post: 5281282, member: 371"] Do a chart for events in your city. This is how offent things happen and creates a flow to the city. Morning traffic flows one way, evening the other, when is pay day, the holidays. What parts of the city sleeps and which parties? Where is the bad side of town, the high? All this marks what your players see, they are boundies. Other things to chart: [LIST] [*]Murder - how offent dose it happen, now break it down - knifing, shooting, being thrown from the top of a building, feed to the crabs, dismembment? This is news and life. [*]Smuggling - what goods are brought in? Why, okay to avoid taxes but could there be other reasons? New stuff hitting the streets or is there a dry spell and cost goes up? These make up the rumors players hear. [*]Thieft - Muggings, break-ins, art, bank, diamonds? Again, news. [*]Big Shippments of produce - things are made, stored, then shipped out and the other way coming in. Could mean more day labor on the streets and like a pay day, more activity. [*]Drug raids and other police actions? Always find New York interesting, it is 300 square miles in size and has a police force of 30,000 - that is a 100 police men for every square mile, why do they have crime? Once, you start to see how many are on the street during the day and the night, those that are protecting areas, you realize that the number is not that large. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
