it is an interesting setting, I've played in the location before & think Chicago makes a great place to live.

I really enjoyed reading Chicago By Night / The Succubus Club and planning to use it for a 1-shot at a convention. I didn't actually end up using it, because the players that signed up for it had to bail for a medical emergency. I liked how the club had various levels and each one had its own flair and feel.

@Samwise7RPG The Blood Dolls and the danger to The Masquerade was an interesting thing in the book. The players probably wouldn't guess that they are just teenie-boppers/tweens drinking each other's blood. hehe. It would be good if you ran this to have some Ministry, Sisters of Mercy, Bauhaus, etc. playing in the background. I liked the write ups in Chicago By Night of the various NPCs in the setting.

@Samwise7RPG I was going to run the protest adventure for the 1-shot, as it seemed the most interesting one in the book, and it also seemed like something I could finish in 4 hours.

@Samwise7RPG I can't say it enough how brilliant this book is.

I feel like I've been to this club in Chicago. I can hear the soundtrack of Sisters of Mercy and Ministry thundering ominously in my head. Not to mention the 'faux blood' drinks one can order at the bar... Some of the clubs (& bars) in Chicago are known to be haunted as well.

@23penguins32 They said in the book they were doing a stereotypical gothic nightclub too. It doesn't surprise me. I really do find this book to be brilliant.

@ExplosiveOrange I've not read it. From your description I got the feel of some of the Goth and/or Industrial clubs I used to go to in the '90's. And yes one could at least then see people with the prosthetic teeth and unnaturally-coloured contact lenses for their eyes. Had a few offers to have my blood 'tasted'. I must say I do like black hair :)

@23penguins32 Sounds like one hell of party. I guess there was some truth to the blood dolls, then? I'm glad I could atleast give one person a feel for this setting.

@ExplosiveOrange No worries. You just uploaded it. Give it some time. I honestly would go for the music, the not-average subculture and the fact we could in and often drink for free (working in the business-always a plus). If you're going to run this, look up Excalibur. It has an interesting history & is one of the 'most haunted locations' in Chicago. It is creepy. There are many others as well that have histories, especially dating to the Capone era.

@23penguins32 Thank you for the input. I don't know if I'll run a game(of any kind) anytime soon, but I will look up that club.

@23penguins32 I've always had a thing for goth chicks.  :)

@Samwise7RPG 'No, it's much too perilous !' :D
