The wind blows quite strongly on the city tonight. For some, it's merely an inconvenience, stealing away their warmth and disturbing their haircut. For some, it's a blessing, chasing away the smog haunting the streets they live in if only for a moment. But for whose who know how to listen, it's no ...

Welcome to Mirrors , a scenario for City of Mist , set to run from August 14, 2023 to August 28, 2023. It will take the form of a PBP LARP i.e. an asynchronous play-by-post game focused on PC to PC interactions. The main plot will be about investigating supernatural crimes. Themes of murder, violenc...

You look into the mirror. In spite of everything, it's still you. Human. And something else. https://i.imgur.com/M8Ek2h3.jpg Everyone is the sum of their contradictions. You take it a step further, adding to the equation issues – practical, psychological, moral – usually only relevant for character...

What is the most important thing I should keep in mind? Out Of Character (OOC) communication is everything. I.e. talk with your fellow players (and GM) directly, without the mask of your character. Ask people what they meant in that IC (In Character) post you have a doubt about. You're interacting ...

What is City of Mist? In three words: Queer. Supernatural. Batman. As for the long version: First, I'll advise looking at the Quick Start PDF , freely available on the official City of Mist website. I just won't be doing a better job at explaining the setting, system, philosophy of CoM than that on...

What is PBP LARP? First, not an official term. More of something that I cooked up after a theoretical discussion on the subject. But as for an actual definition... Well, an example of a completed game will likely be more telling than anything I can say in a few words here. But if I was to try, I wo...

What is all that?

The next planned game (and first so far) will be Mirrors.

Titan Hill Residential district (rich) https://i.imgur.com/jTM8Zu6.jpg Once upon a time, there was a small mountain range to the west of the City. It did next to nothing to slow down the City's expansion. At first, it was a glorified wasteland on the map, an empty spot forcing roads to bend instead...

The Weeds Resident district (poor) https://i.imgur.com/FI0cpKM.jpg Decades ago, the Weeds were just yet another apartment block, cubes of concrete big enough to host thousands of cheap flats. Not even worthy of a name or nickname, but a letter and a number on administrative maps. Then, one morning,...

Examples Private Message*: *Stripped down of salutations, valedictions, and co because the post was long enough as is. Tulip “Ishmael” Toan Art: https://i.imgur.com/wg4v4bo.jpg (source: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/48xwk) Concept: Tulip could never keep a job for long before. But since she's ...

The Jobsite Business district https://i.imgur.com/M5cU8zD.jpg The Jobsite claims it employs every single citizen of the City. This is obviously an exaggeration. But not by that much. Not only do you have the emblematic salarypeople, the white collars working from within the air-conditioned open-spa...

The City https://i.imgur.com/Ccusywd.jpg It would be as absurd to attempt to describe the City in its entirety with a few words as it would be to try to encompass the magnificence of the whole world in a single page of text. Maybe even more so, as the City is several worlds collapsed into one. Nobo...

Some piece of information about some of the other many people inhabiting the City.

Tell us about your character here.

First, look at the date. If it's the August 14th, 2023 or later, it's too late. Sorry. Otherwise: Create a standard City of Mist character, following strictly the base guidelines introduced in the Free Quickstart and expanded upon in the Player's Guide : 4 Themes – either 1 Logos and 3 Mythos, 3 Log...

For all informal talks.

Communicating with GM If you need the GM for anything, drop a message in that thread . If it's something private, write about it in your private forum instead, then drop a link to that post in the aforementioned thread. If you value the GM's sanity, only contact the GM that way. Not through PM, not...

If you've got anything to ask the GM about, here's the place (and nowhere else).
