[QUOTE="Whizbang Dustyboots, post: 8206852, member: 11760"] This is a [I]great[/I] idea. Singapore's a fascinating place in so many ways. I have only visited Singapore once -- I have family there -- so pardon my dumb questions. When will this be set? Singapore today, as you know better than I do, has surveillance cameras [I]everywhere[/I]. Will monsters not show up on them? Or is something else going on? Given how fast conventional crime gets responded to in Singapore, I would have to imagine the government would quickly become aware of the supernatural and have a response to it, since they want a very orderly society. Since it's the World of Darkness, there are some conspiracy-type options here, but I'd love to hear your thoughts. I also think the multiple diverse communities in Singapore are one of its strengths and most fascinating elements. I like the idea of having different factions generally sorted by ethnic background. There might be some Western Kindred vampires around, for instance, but they might mostly be among the descendants of Europeans, while the other populations have their own supernatural power blocs. (Given that most of these supernatural types can spread through populations, along with intermarriage, etc., I wouldn't make this a totally hard and fast rule, though.) Having said that. I would also work backwards from deciding what sort of supernatural critters you want to include and what [I]they[/I] would want before deciding who goes where, necessarily. What sorts of mages you include, for instance, would greatly affect what their goals are and where they'd want to settle down. The Syndicate, for instance, would likely have a [I]lot[/I] of interest in Singapore, as one of the major hubs of commerce on the planet, but what they'd want and how they'd behave is very different than, say, the Euthanatos, who might also have strong reasons for being there. Each would likely have separate enclaves and likely not run across each other that often, other than at hawker centres. I also suggest you cross-post this at RPG.net, where there are many more World of Darkness players and GMs than here. [/QUOTE]
