Question - Help for My Next Game

[Darrin Drader]

Hi all,

I would like to draw upon the collective intelligence of this great place and ask a question. I'm working on my next D&D game, which is going to take place in a magical industrial world that is parallel to our own. Various items will be familliar, but different in numerous odd ways. Seattle, for instance, is more like Waterdeep in appearance, though the space needle exists as the tower of a mighty wizard. Technology exists, though it is largely in the hands of the wealthy and the powerful. Motor vehicles are highly sought after, which brings me to my question.

The main thing I need to know is where the national fuel reserve in the U.S. is located, since that will play a major role in the game.

Replies to a thread tend to be proportional to reads.

So it makes sense that if you want people to reply to your thread you should give it a title that makes people want to read it.

You with me?

So I suggest you don't use such an ambiguous thread title and you'll get more replies. FWIW, I only bothered clicking on your thread because the first thing that popped into my mind when I saw it was "This poor bastard won't get much help with a title like that" and I'm in a helpful mood today.

As for your question, I've never been in North America and have no idea where the national fuel reserve is located, but I suspect that information might be classified.

Here:

Strategic Petroleum Reserve


Not only not classified, but they've got a nice little webpage with a map.

The Strategic Petroleum Reserves are located in salt caverns in Texas and Louisiana. A crude (no pun intended) map is included on the above site.

There are also the Northeast Home Heating Oil Reserve and Naval Petroleum Reserves.

I don't mean to be snippy or anything, but it's usually easier to find things like this on Google than ENWorld. That's where I found it.

I hope this helps.

There's also vast amounts of untapped fuel supplies in Alaska. That could make an interesting plot point.

Yep, you're right, it is a pretty lame thread title. I'll do better next time.

Thanks for the help to everyone who bothered to reply. This is the information I needed.
