I play and DM:

So predominantly #OSR and #NuSR.

Not here for political or religious arguments - I have other accounts for that. 😈

Even though I've been running D&D-type games for 30 years, I've never actually run a campaign that takes place in a city. Tonight my Mörk Borg group reach Schleswig for the first time.

So, my question: What tools do you use to run city adventures with minimal prep? Right now I know what's happening in the city, what they want to do, and I'm writing a small rumour table. Am I missing anything obvious?

Look, I bought it before all the kerfuffle, OK?

New research shows that the insects flying around the streetlights are in fact in a living hell that we made for bugs.

Essentially, their tiny bug brains think the light is the sunset, so they keep turning to keep the "sun" at the same angle so they can go "straight." No matter how far they fly, they don't make any progress. They are trapped in this little hell we made just for them, not understanding why they can't get to where they are going.

@Shkshkshk @science I read this too a few weeks ago, and it got the old noggin joggin'.

What if some higher lifeform has done the same to us? Our sun could be the gods' bathroom light.

    When coming up with a new setting, I just do flow of consciousness bullshit and try and pick out the fun stuff.

    "Management's quest to see how much more cheaply an increasingly poor product can be sold at the same price and under the same name as what came before is, at bottom, the story of basically every industry or institution currently in decline or collapse."

    @KeithAmmann couldn't finish it - the grammar was too poor.
