Here’s some of the world building I did for my players:
VISIT BEAUTIFUL DISTON CITY!!!
Welcome visitors and future settlers! I am the mayor of Diston City, Liam Deamhany. As the son of an immigrant couple I have lived in Diston my whole life. It is in my blood and soul. I have seen the growth of the city and have grown along with it. I would like to tell you about my great city.
As a member of the modern world we are very proud of our commitment to our citizens health and well being. We have two state of the art Medical campuses as well as several hospitals. Upir Medical Campus is a modern and state of the art facility, It has been nationally recognized for its ground breaking work in the field of Hematology. Upir boasts one the highest donation rates to national blood banks and has contributed to research in curing blood borne illnesses. At Hantu Medical Pavilion leaps and bounds have been made in working with amputees and in physical therapy. Dr. Pabaisa has worked his entire career with wounded veterans and helping them adjust to their altered lifestyle. And Hantu Medical Pavilion has been working right beside him.
Our manufacturing district has a robust and expansive ability to provide for citizens. The trucking industry that has grown to support the manufacturing district has created a boom of job creations. As well as keeping the spirit of the factory worker and the tradesmen alive and well for the future, With its location adjacent to our Wharf district it allows our city be a leading face in the export industry.
You can’t work hard if you can’t play hard, and Diston has a bustling night life. With several trendy clubs and lavish resultants. Chef Ulv is something of a local celebrity. He has been working with farms just outside of the city limits to build a sustainable farm to table menu that is out of this world. Working to not use factory farm meat, he has amazingly created a menu that highlights this. If those options sound a little out of your comfort zone we have several local diners and coffee shops.
Are you college bound? Looking for a great city with a nationally accredited program? Well look no farther than the H, Tung college. With a great curriculum and amazing instructors and several support programs to assist students. With ample onsite student housing as well as affordable apartments and townhouses make living near school a breeze.
I hope I have given you a a eye opening look into our great city. Maybe you have questions you’d like a local to answer for you? Well, my office is always open to answer questions and to chat with you about my city. As long as I’m not out helping my citizens as they need me. Feel free to stop by, and remember: if you lived here you’d already be home

Ever. Fucking. Word. This city is a cesspool of pain, suffering, and miseries. There are not jobs, the school is defunct and I wouldn’t eat at any of Chef Ulv’s restaurants. Unless you think you might like to try human flesh. The major is in the pocket of the blood suckers and more people go in to the Hospitals than ever come out. The police are useless or are also one of the altered. The enemy is so ingrained into this city I don’t think we’ll ever be able to wake people up. We all remember the nut case that burnt down Candle Light Theater. We remember the interview and how they tried to make him seem like a liar and a fraud. And wasn’t his trailer out in the White Pines blown to shit? And then nothing. No follow up investigation, no arrest file. They just made him disappear. And that’s what scares me. They can make any of us disappear. That’s why I keep an eye on my neighborhood. I try to at least try to make it so that the sheeple can try and protect themselves. I can’t open their eyes for them. But I can try and make sure that the shit the drug slingers are pushing doesn’t make it into my patrol. Hum is the maggot eating away at the rotting center of this town. We need to try and stop it. We need to try and band together and get this done. Or there won’t be anything left to save.
I’m not familiar with the setting, but I’m getting cosmic horror vibes.
It’s a TTRPG from the original World of Darkness product line, Hunter: The Reckoning. Think Supernatural meets late nineties goth punk horror.
This makes me miss WoD! I love flavour text for a TTRPG, my players always seemed ambivalent. Did you email this or read it aloud?
Texted it to them. I’m STing for my wife and a few of her zoomer coworkers. They seemed to really enjoy it. I’m going to be writing another item for the game tomorrow. My goal is to do a monthly game with a few biweekly games if I can get prepared in time. Last time was the session zero where everyone made their sheets and I explained the basic rules. They all seem to respond well to the looser class system WoD has. And they seemed to enjoy my way of STing.
