It’s been X… years since the Singularity, the Meltdown, the End Times, or just the End. Everyone knows what you mean, no matter what you call it. But no one knows quite how long it’s been, because it appears that time has passed at different rates in different parts of the world since then. It’s still fresh in the memories of most survivors, though.

==The New National Progressive Miners Union==
+
==Paris==
  
−
The Ideological Faction in Northern Minnesota that encompasses Virginia and Hibbing. labeled as "The New National Progressive Miners Union" on the map is where Neotropolis is located owing to Virginia, MN's many investments in renewable energy such as Wind Turbines https://www.duluthnewstribune.com/news/2247813-wind-energy-takes-flight-iron-range , its currently liberal leaning tendencies, and status as an economic hub.
+
[[File:Paris_RATP_1960_small.jpg]]
  
−
Hibbing has a cogenerating power plant that apparently is unreliable (according to Google reviews, they have frequent power outages).
+
(Btw the hi-res version of the map is here: https://rocbo.lautre.net/Paris14e/plans.html)
  
−
There is a solar panel manufacturing plant in the small town of Mountain Iron, a few kilometers west of Virginia; https://heliene.com/solar-photovoltaic-modules/
+
Metropolitan Paris in the early Fifth Republic, a period of political convulsion, national renewal, and vibrant intellectual and cultural creativity. Also a symbolic battleground for the ideologies of the Cold War.
  
−
==New Green Bay==
 
  
−
Specifically a "pirate" city out side of Green bay obviously called "New Green Bay". North of what used to be the actual city of Green Bay, but still within the relative seclusion/ protection of the bay. Originally founded by a group of bandits who bit off more than they could choose and pissed of the wrong people. It is now a sanctuary for the low lives of the Apocalypse; where they can come to trade, rest, or launch expeditions into the infection zone to the south.
+
==Paris Metro==
  
−
At first there was very little order with people openly stealing or killing each other, which tends to happen when you have lots of morally questionable people in one place. But as it grew into less of a city and more of a small town the larger groups started making laws and providing a semblance of order. So now instead of murders taking place in broad day light they happen in the dark of night behind close doors, unless they want to be hunted down by the town "police" supplied by the biggest gangs in the city.
+
[[File:1956_Paris_Metro_small.jpg|1280px]]
  
−
A wild west type town with loose laws but a general honor among thieves type of vibe. Just big enough that any other faction would have to use significant resources to get rid of it but not so big as to make it a target for the A.I.
 
−
 
−
==SciNet==
 
−
 
−
A dispersed community of scientists and investigators into the unnatural and the invading AI; motives vary but in general they are intent on finding out what they can about it, trying to communicate with the AI, and coexisting with it and the unnatural. They are ostensibly independent of any established “official” groups. Membership by invitation, communication is pseudonymous, though in rare cases members do meet in person. No guarantees that they have not been hacked/infiltrated, or that individual members may not have ulterior motives. Provides access to a pool of knowledge/resource on the unnatural and the AI, and potential contacts/information on areas where contacts are based.

'''Spending Willpower to Make Rolls Succeed'''
 
−
 
 
−
You can spend your Willpower Points on a 1-to-5 basis to improve most skill rolls (but not SAN rolls or damage rolls, or POW tests, or to change normally successful rolls into crits etc.): 1 WP = up to 5%. This represents making that extra effort of will to achieve a success. But in doing so, you're running down your Willpower Points, which can be dangerous. Also, you have to take the full 1-to-5 conversion - no fractions. If your roll has failed by 6%, you have to spend 2 WP for the full 10%.
 
−
 
 
−
Remember that you can also spend Willpower to project SAN loss onto Bonds, or to repress insanity. This is different to the above use - and a reminder how important it is to hang on to your WP. Fumbles can cost you WP; resisting interrogation definitely does. WP are needed to fuel hypergeometrical rituals and objects, and are sometimes targeted by offensive rituals.
 
  
−
Remember that you suffer an emotional breakdown when your WP hit 2 or below, and total collapse when you hit 0 WP. You regain 1d6 WP after a full, proper night's sleep. Exhaustion and sleeplessness cut into that.
