Vampires and Werewolves in Boston

	The Boston region has some of America's oldest cemeteries, with a handful stretching back to the early 1600s and a goodly proportion launching well before the 1900s. The cemeteries also contain a huge number of notables: presidents, poets, war heroes, jurists, academics, athletes, musicians, Benjamin Franklin's parents.		The Boston region has some of America's oldest cemeteries, with a handful stretching back to the early 1600s and a goodly proportion launching well before the 1900s. The cemeteries also contain a huge number of notables: presidents, poets, war heroes, jurists, academics, athletes, musicians, Benjamin Franklin's parents.

	And there is one big problem with the cemeteries. They attract ghouls. The ~~gouls~~ are not native to our world, but something about especially the oldest cemeteries attracts them, and occasionally a pack slips through from the other side. Ghouls are usually not dangerous to living people unless starving or threatened, and prefer to avoid people. But the authorities are not happy about them taking up residence in the graveyards, so periodically they need to be eradicated. And for an ordinary groundskeeper this would be a highly difficult and dangerous job. Ghoul burrows are difficult to find, narrow and filled with traps, and ghouls can be deadly if they attack.

	A werewolf, however, makes short work of a pack of ghouls and can literally sniff out their presence. So the Grunwalds make regular circuits of the cemeteries. Often at night when they can work unhindered. This is occasionally a rude surprise for young mages who decide to take advantage of the ambient energies within the old cemeteries for some ritual. The groundskeepers won't allow that either. The smart mages depart peacefully when caught. If they are not smart, the department may get a nightly call to come pick up some very frightened young mages for trespassing.

And summoning them away from their native environment causes them physical and mental anguish and robs them of their freedom of action. So it did not take long for the Elemental Rights Movement to form. The summoning of elementals was banned in most parts of Europe after World War II, and in Canada not long after that, but in US an influential lobby group funded by wealthy mages and corporations specializing in arcane or alchemical products has resisted such legislation, citing the damage it would do to US business interests.

	During the prohibition era, the families of Spielman and Laskowski were notorious gangsters among the magical community. They did not involve themselves in bootlegging, preferring to avoid clashes with ungifted gangsters, and focused on crimes involving or targeting mages and magic. Smuggling of Other Side materials, unlawful alchemy, extorting mage entrepreneurs. Spielmans and Laskowskis occasionally clashed with both each other and the police force. They kept out of jail through force and corruption, resorting to violence when bribes would not work.

	Arclight, the occult task force of the FBI was founded during the Hoover era. They are well funded and provisioned, with their own separate budget and facilities. They deal with federal investigations, and on the occasions when there is overlap with local investigations, they have a reputation for being a bit pushy. On the other hand, sometimes there is a reason to call on them for assistance, for they have superior resources, including specialized laboratories and their own SWAT team specialized in supernatural threats. And on the occasions when their help is asked, they tend to be quite professional.		Arclight, the occult task force of the FBI was founded during the Hoover era.

Likewise, cases where civilians stumble onto the truth and attempt to go public with it are Arclight's problem and not something OCD detectives need to concern themselves with. On occasion, OCD has nevertheless decided to get involved in such a case before Arclight does. Because Arclight can be very ruthless about it. While they do not go as far as to kill witnesses, they can quite effectively destroy a person's credibility, reputation, career, and life. And will not hesitate to do so.

			===Criminal mages===

			Mages commit crimes just like the ungifted do. They just have a larger variety of potential crimes to commit. Very often, the motivation for crimes committed by mages are the same as for everyone else. Crimes of passion, underhanded ways to make some money, and so on. They just might use their magical powers to commit the crimes. But the mages also have temptations that the ungifted do not. Their motivation can also be to increase their magic powers.

			Most mages covet artifacts and grimoires. Items like these are either resource-intensive to create or originate from the Other Side, which makes them difficult to replace, and therefore valuable. Even the more commonplace tools of magic created by Enchanters can be expensive, and where a mundane might steal a smartphone, a mage might try to steal an amulet.

			Trespassing is annoyingly common. Some places have high ambient energy or auspicious flows of power that can be useful for certain kinds of magic, especially rituals. Many of these places are within private property, or within an area where performing rituals is not permitted, such as public buildings and graveyards. Younger makes are especially prone to sneaking in to perform secret rituals.

			Various materials can be used to boost magic, enchant items or brew potions. Some are relatively commonplace. Others are rare, expensive, highly taxed, heavily regulated, or all of that. Yet others are downright illegal, and so are items and potions made from them. Crimes involving these materials include smuggling, unlawful alchemy and peddling of fake materials.

			Proscribed Contact with Other Side is a classic crime where mages summon something dangerous or open a portal to a realm of terror. Other side abounds with powerful and dangerous beings such as Demons, and realms filled with malevolent energies. These crimes are in truth rather uncommon, because most mages are sensible enough to understand that the risks always outweigh the gains. But when these crimes do happen they tend to be bad ones. Bad enough that even planning such is a crime.

			Ritual torture and murder are amongst the worst kind of magic-related crimes that the police may have to deal with. Blood and death are powerful ingredients in some kinds of magic. Especially if the blood is mystical in nature, such as the blood of a mage, especially a full blooded mage. Thankfully, this is rare, for most mages are not depraved enough to perform human sacrifice. But the sacrifice of animals used to be legal in the past, and some mages feel that it still should be.

			When mages commit crimes, usually only one mage is involved, or a handful of partners in crime. There are no organized crime families in Boston. Mages may be in the employ of organized crime, or a mage may work his way to the leadership of a criminal organization, but an entire extended family or fraternity of mages dedicated to criminal pursuits is something Boston does not have. Not currently. But two such families did terrorize the city in the past. Spielmans and Laskowskis.

			During the prohibition era, the families of Spielman and Laskowski were notorious gangsters among the magical community. They did not involve themselves in bootlegging, preferring to avoid clashes with ungifted gangsters, and focused on crimes involving or targeting mages and magic. Smuggling of Other Side materials, unlawful alchemy, extorting mage entrepreneurs. Spielmans and Laskowskis occasionally clashed with both each other and the police force. They kept out of jail through force and corruption, resorting to violence when bribes would not work.

Graduaully, their income and operations dried out and their days as crime lords ended, not with a bang but with a wheeze.

	The campaign cosmology has Devils in addition to Angels and Demons. Anything rules related in the game rules that refer to Demons should be assumed to refer to Devils instead.

For example, Demon Blooded bloodline is Devil Blooded instead. Demons in the game are a separate bunch of nasties opposed to both Angels and Devils.

			===Tarot===

			The rules have a Tarot mechanic that I do not see working very well in play by post, so I am going to change it to work in the following fashion.

			Every character has a Major Arcana that can be chosen freely, ignoring the official rule that says that two characters cannot have the same Major Arcana.

			Once per case, each player can invoke their Arcana to do one of the following:

			• Automatically break or block a Spell
			• Instantly refill a character's Magic Points
			• Instantly find a nearby Ley Line or Dead Zone
			• Gain a Scene Point
			• Ask the GM for a specific effect related to the card (for example, a bonus to Driving for playing The Chariot)

			Invoking the Arcana is optional and has a price. If invoked, it causes an Arcana-related complication to the case later on. For example, Invoking Chariot could mean that an accident happens later.

			===Scene Points===

			Scene Points also have a minor difference since there will be an ongoing thread rather than weekly game sessions. Every character starts with a pool of Scene Points, usually 3. They refresh at the beginning of each new case, and during the case, can be used to do the following:

			• Add either +5 to a Skill Test or add an extra d10.
			• Instead of rolling an attack's damage, deal maximum damage.
			• Reduce incoming damage by half or spend two Scene Points to reduce it to zero.
			• Alter a minor aspect of the Scene. (Subject to GM approval.)
