We have located a new zone. Information below. [OOG Note: Go here for Detective modules. Give Logan at least 2-3 days notice before any sessions are scheduled for the week before deciding to do one so he may prep.]
Fairly big PI organisation. Numerous people employed. Ran by Henry Young. Located in Ohio.
Deal with various supernatural threats that threaten to overrun Voras from various outliers of reality. Best not to tell the government about their work.
Employs several spell “dismissers” (magic users who have read those creepy books) to get rid of major powers. They are very nervous, paranoid, don’t sleep well, etc. They are unaware that they are DORAs.
Pays $15,000/year for a detective.
If you are hired, you’ll get a licence which is valid country-wide. You’ll need separate licenses for guns if you wish to have those.
Current year: 2580 AC (After Coins).
Similar to USA. White guys = Sleestaks. Other races = various other things. Different weird species also live there, humans with four eyes etc. Non-lizards are a minority but not so much that it is seen as too weird.
Generally friendly. Not many DORAs. Humans and other species visit occasionally. Warned not to get involved with the government or the police and not to tell people about DORAs and our affairs, especially when dealing with “otherworldly matters” as it could quickly escalate and you may find yourself the subject of interesting experiments. DORAs don’t seem to have any recollection of past lives, they simply “woke up” where they were.
Architecture is kind of cave-like but mixed in with “modern” 1980s styles as well.
They have cars (not nearly as developed as Earth) but no aerial vehicles. Afraid of flying. Have trains and buses. Roads are a bit shit.
Women seem to paint their horns different colours. Everyone has hair around their horns (human coloured). Females have breasts but not sure what’s in them, since they are lizards.
Fairly violent world. People don’t generally carry weapons around but they may pay for your execution to be shown on TV.
Voras is just one country, though sometimes new lands appear and disappear. Unsure why.
There is a Clem's.
Koben: God of Justice. Symbol is a guillotine. Told everyone to love each other so he was killed with a guillotine, of course.
Croesus/Croesun Anis: God of money. Won the Religious Wars, which is why their dates are called AC (After Coins). First year was when people came up with coins. Quite a few people follow this religion. Symbol: dot eating another dot a bit like Pac man. Believe it’s a dog eat dog world.
Great Green Arculseizure: Fear the coming of the great White handkerchief. Believe that the universe was created by a sneeze by Him.
Religion of Peace: most violent religion. Symbol: three crescent moons joined by one of the points. Hunted down and put to death when found out. Considered to be “very unstable”.
Older. White hair. Walks with a cane. Head of the Detective Agency. Is a DORA.
1980s. Third World level of infrastructure.
Easy test of will to cast non-elemental spells.
Moderate test of will to cast elemental spells.
Moderate test of will to use tech found after the 1980s. Will attract Agents as normal.
There are big scary magic books that tend to drive people insane which only non-DORAs can learn. Various spells. No collective term for such books (according to Henry Young).
1 gold = 450 VD.
From gate to Detective Agency via taxi: 40 VD.
Bus from Detective Agency to Clem’s: 60 VD.
Money is blue rather than green. Picture of a hairy Sleestak on it.
<location>: Temple in Lin Tao, Cyberpunk Hong Kong. Come out of a wall.
