Spectacle SoC

Spectacle is a chronicle suitable a family-friendly environment. Players should be 13+ in age.

PG13 Roleplay Please
Posts can contains some suggestive dialogue, some profanity, sexually suggestive (but not explicit) and only moderately violent content. What adult players do together in PR isn't a concern for the troupe as a whole. However, everything played in public or posted to the archive should be appropriate for young teens.

Make Gorey/Gross/Violent Content Age-Appropriate
Don't make the violence or splatter any more explicit than it would be on mainstream TV or a YA novel.

Slavery & Bondage
Having the bad guys trying to kidnap children is going to be a big part of the metaplot. Don't make it sexually suggestive though. Bondage as restraint is okay, but a veto on it as a "kink". The villains might kidnap and terrorize children and treat their henchmen as slaves, but this should be against the moral code of the heroes. Ordinary people in this setting wouldn't be slaves or slavers.

Limit Inclusion of Social Discrimination & Bigotry
Don't white wash over the way ordinary people treated ordinary people of a different ethnicity, gender, age, sexual orientation, economic status, etc.,. but it is okay for the personal characters to operate with 2020 sensibilities in this 1970s world. They don't -have- to, but if your character is otherwise one of the heroes, let this be something they have a progressive mindset about.

Satire Is Okay
Satirical or tongue-in-cheek humor is fine in this chronicle setting. Building characters who are caricatures is fine.

Things To Include

 * Fae Folk who would fit in just fine to a game of Changeling the Dreaming. The Seelie Court should control Edinburgh.  The Unseelie Court should control Glascow.  The fifty miles in between should represent a gradual transition and maybe even a war zone.


 * 121 as the name of the ghost train the Unseelie use to travel back-forth between the territories. It comes from the Qintinshill rail disaster.  The rail disaster plays the metaplot.  So does the fact the soldiers were buried in Edinburgh Rosebank Cemetery.


 * Vampires, Ghosts, and Werewolves but in the context of the Fae Folk vs. different races.


 * Good way to customize character template so Fae characters can be easily made and played.
