I was going to buy into this, but I figured I might as well wait for the POD. I think that's as far as my interest levels go. I am very much looking forward to Mage and Promethean 2nd editions.

The poll's been upped for vikings/cowboys/israelites. For the first time in my life I find myself voting against more vikings.

And probably a third or fourth. We still have to see how well #1 turns out. Alternatively, they could just set up a subscription blog that just puts out the setting write-ups periodically and people pay a one time/annual fee to access the whole lot of them.

Holy gently caress. Vampires in 1920s Topeka, Kansas? Mage, but set in the 8th century in the Kingdom of Makuria? Promethean, but set in A Home Depot in 1993? Geist, but set one second after the Big Bang? Cannot wait for these hot titles.

Some of those actually sound interesting. I'm fine with a Home Depot game. Notably, said game won't involve pirates or samurai.

Wolves didn't even exist while Pangaea was around. My hypothesis is that Father Wolf was actually a dino. Please set a Uratha game during the Mesozoic Era.

You may accuse me of trolling, but I think "Is this Dark Age setting more interesting and evocative than playing Promethean in a Home Depot in 1993?" is a perfectly valid litmus test, and one that I don't think either pirates or samurai pass. I'm willing to be persuaded on the American Revolution.

Samurai might be a bit played out, and you can argue the same with pirates, but I will fight you if you so much as say a setting in sub-Saharan Africa right as the Portuguese show up isn't some rad poo poo.

Promethean specifically in a Home Depot is absolutely an amazing idea though, just so long as your antagonists are Pandorans (who would blend in perfectly in the racks --- who would know?) and not alchemists who stopped in on the way to a side-project of theirs that a full third of the setting write-up will detail anyway, regardless of how much the protagonists of the More Saving. More Human. chronicle would have to do with it.

Notably, I did not. I don't have problems with the Wars of Scottish Independence, either -- well, not much, because I have a sneaking suspicion I know which 1995 film spurred THAT choice. But I've resigned myself to never seeing those two settings, considering the poll competition.

Plus Samurai Era seems like a bit of a misnomer that's being used because the average backer doesn't know a lot about Japanese history. David Hill has been talking about wanting to do an Edo period section for a while now. Considering Tokyo has sort of become the unofficial 2nd Ed city, I am down with it. (Though I'm definitely down for Africa more.)

I'm fairly certain the only thing worse than doing a samurai bit would be promising a samurai bit, it winning, and then sneakily not giving people the samurai they so crave, ensuring absolutely no one but the writer himself is pleased. Especially not the people who wanted to see Werewolf: Braveheart or what have you.

I would play these three. They all sound way better than Samurai Japan (whatever time period that is) and Scottish Wars of Independence. You are terrible at coming up with bad ideas for settings. I mean, you think Promethean Mall Rats sounds bad?

But considering the 1600s are literally the start of the Tokugawa Shogunate/Edo Period I'm pretty sure that's what Hill was talking about wanting to do. Basically I'm saying whatever it is it will probably be deeper than "STUFF I SAW IN AN ANIME." (I hope.  )

Promethean set in a home depot could be an interesting idea: a monster trying to become more human while working a minimum wage job that explicitly dehumanized them, parsing the interactions between people privaleged enough to be concerned with home improvement, the most old white people of hobbies, with people underprivileged enough to work there. Set it in LA in the early 90s where class and race are about to come to a head and you have an interesting chronicle. This is all assuming that the World of Darkness analog to home depot is run by cthonic entities from beyond space and time, of course.
