Hey everyone, I will be DMing through FG a copy of my long-running in-person New World of Darkness campaigns. The setting is New York City (not the NYC from the Geist book though) and it's specifically designed for crossover games.
The basic idea is that, a few years ago, a Forsaken/Mage alliance drove most of the Pure out of the city completely. This led to a more general alliance of all the supernatural factions. None of them particularly LIKE each other, of course, but they recognize the value of cooperation.
The players would be part of a kind of small "UN peacekeeping force" that all the factions contribute to but don't particularly care about and it would be up to them to change that.
Characters of any major template except hunters would be allowed, and any minor template provided you can justify their inclusion. My NWoD games tend to be slightly more combat-heavy than most (though it's still secondary to RPing and character development) and a lot less brooding. Still dark, just no emo "oh woe is me" nonsense. The focus is on player agency and choice: I'm never going to tell you "No, you can't do that and ruin the entire game!" and I promise to roll with everything you do :P
I could post more specific setting information if requested. Would anyone be interested in this? I'm thinking maybe 4-6 players, FG only (no voice chat) with Obsidian Portal support. No prior experience necessary.
EDIT: As a side note, I also allow characters from the homebrew games Genius: The Transgression (mad scientists) and Princess: The Hopeful (magical girls), as they are both basically as developed as full gamelines by this point.
