[QUOTE="TaranTheWanderer, post: 7993939, member: 15882"] Yeah, I get it, but this isn't going to be a long term game and the players are totally new. I don't want to spend a whole session doing City Building. I'm doing half the work and they are doing half. I've got one Theme and they are choosing a Theme or a Threat. I have their High Concepts set and their Troubles but I've left the trouble totally open to interpretation. The Cop has a trouble that makes it hard for the other cops to respect/trust him(I forget the exact aspect off hand). I'm leaving it up to the players to decide whether that's because he snitched on crooked cops, is a crooked cop himself or something else I haven't thought of. I haven't filled out any of the other 5 aspects at all. I've got a few locations and faces done and they will bring a few to the table. After the first session, we will revisit everything. I just want them to be able dive in. The other thing, is I don't want to dictate a plot. I have ideas but I don't have a time-line or an idea how events are unfolding. Regardless of how the Characters turn out, it helps me to know what events are unfolding in the background. Given that they will add a theme or a threat or both, it will change things a bit but I'm the kind of person who likes to talk out his ideas. Since my wife hates listening to my RP stories, I'm using this forum. :) I like it. Although, I feel that 'Love' is not really in the nature of a BCV (if I go pure Dresden canon - although there are lots of exceptions in the fiction). There are so many cool creatures that I could easily abandon the Black Court idea and find a creature that is more fitting. White Court Vampires would work well. It does give me food for thought.
