#RPGaDay2022 11 - living in a setting

11 - If you could live in a game setting, where would it be?

Obvious bias here, but the Trinity Continuum setting is an upbeat science fiction spin on our world, with smart, brave, well-meaning people dedicated to making it a better place and making real progress doing so, with a little luck on their side as it’s a real thing in the metaphysics of the setting.

Sure, it has villainous groups, strange phenomena, creepy aliens messing with our psionic potential and in a few years it’ll have superhuman celebrities who nearly destroy the world, but you can’t have everything.

And I could help without being called upon to save the world myself on a regular basis.

Hanging at the Bronze or the Succubus Club would be cool, but the life of a PC there would be stressful and as an NPC I’d be killed by a haunted photograph at the gallery or something.

I would also be tempted to live in some cosy games like Chuubo’s Marvelous Wish-Granting Engine but that seems like cheating as I’ve never run them.
