Is there a specific state you were thinking of Scyon City being set in? I'd read a while ago about Gotham being set in Connecticut for one specific show, and thought that could be a good place to set up Scyon City, if you wanted an option.

I hadn't decided on a specific state, tbh, but you're most definitely in the right area! New Jersey, New York, Connecticut... right in there somewhere!  I don't see why it couldn't be Connecticut, so I'm cool with that if that's the way everyone else wants to go.

So driving 50 or 100 miles east you would be in the ocean  

Sounds about right, bud! lol

...I'm leaving on vacation to visit my oldest daughter and her husband in Louisiana this Friday. You probably won't hear from me much at all on Friday or Saturday as it's almost an 18 hour drive from door to door. It's possible I'll check in from time to time when we stop for gas/food/potty breaks (the wife LOVES those) but I wouldn't exactly count on it. I may pop in more frequently starting on Sunday but it will most likely be at night and, honestly, it'll probably depend on my level of sobriety. I'll be in Louisiana until at least Wednesday and taking a leisurely cruise back homeward at the end of the week (I've got some surprises in store for the wife on the return trip as next Friday will be our 28th anniversary   ). Anyhoo, I'll be fully back in the saddle, so to speak, late next weekend and, as I said, briefly checking in when I can.

That said, you guys feel free to post away, shoot me PMs, and all that good business in the duration and I'll reply as fast as is Eol-y possible.

Also, as this is freeform and, in my opinion, a collaborative storytelling effort as opposed to a game (role play vs roll play) I'd like for all of you to feel comfortable in contributing to the "worldbuilding" behind the scenes. C2P has already asked about "Chinatown" and "Little India" neighborhoods, for example, and I've given her free reign to place those things in the city as she sees fit. I'm guessing that Hammer was asking about outlying areas in order to solidify an appropriate spot for the secret holding facility and/or a base for Disturbance and his supporting cast - brother, feel free to improvise and insert as you will (especially if it's outside the city proper). As for me, I hope to have a few nights in which I can work on an actual map or two (and, possibly, expand on the details of Scyon City found on page 1 of this thread) while I'm away and, upon my return, get it all posted up for everyone's reference.

Anyhoooo... Now that the work day is done, I've gotta go drag the canoe off the rack, get it all cleaned up and strapped to the truck, and ready to go so I can paddle some gator infested waters!!! I'll check in again, soon!

Love and Light,

Eol

 ... so it may be a few days before I get my Second Post written

I have a Duel2 Play By Mail game where I just came back & have strategies to fill out & Spots to write for at least 3 Slow Arenas (a 28 Day Turn Around) plus figuring out how to create my Cleric character for Blacktooth Ridge

Enjoy your journey Eol

As I said, I'll be pretty sporadic in the coming days, myself, and I think we're still waiting for first posts in game from Silent and C2P, as well, so... no rush!

working on it now. 

Did a little bit of research over the weekend & am in the process of transitioning what I had from Eol's old Prometheus Reboot storyline that I remember into what can be written into Scyon City!

I have gotten the Post started & plan to have it finished & Posted sometime this week if all goes well according to plan!

Some real life interference has delayed my Post [but I did write one sentence today ]

Yeah my life got in the way. Ill have mine up soonish hopefully

where should we post the PL8s?

Will proof read my post later & get it posted later

@Espatier: Sorry, do you mean an application to play in the game? If so, a PM to Eol Fefalas is probably the best route. 

@Hammer: Nice post! I imagine all the Shakespeare references took a while to compile. I really like the Thespian alter; speaking in theatrical verse is a very interesting way to communicate!

Yes it took some researching this past weekend plus I discarded a few today while typing my Post in a Word Document. Been thinking about it a lot over the past few days. Not sure where I am going from here until others have Posted and Eol gets a 'Game Post' going!
