Okay, so we're starting from the (almost) very beginning here: we know that we have a city, but not a real one because we're not from the same area, so basic geographic features need to be filled out. Like coastal, not coastal, rivers, etc. Big stuff. I'm in favour of having a subway.

And what type of game it should be. I'm guessing not a philosophical rumination on the nature of good vs evil or human vs monsters.

I say coastal, with a river running through it into a harbor, plus some sort of forest preserve outside the city limits but nearby enough to travel to easily for spooky woodland adventures/creatures nearby to hide in and come from?

Right, so we're decided on West Coast, coastal. Next order of business, general game feel?

Forgot to post here!

Coastal, less philosophy, medium action, medium investigation.
