Hello everybody,
I am French (Paris) so sorry for my English.
I am preparing a big contemporary campaign (setting : FBI members in January – February 2017 - True Detective S01 style) with an important part going on in Nola.
I have read CoC New Orleans Guidebook, NOLA World of Darkness rpg, Hoodoo Blues rpg but I don’t found exactly what I want.
I have never visited Big Easy and I would like some informations to be more credible in my descriptions.
I've been looking for a lot of tourist sites too but I would like your informations as a rpg players living at NOLA.
So By the Garry’s Great Dices, I therefore invoke the Sacred spirit of the rpg and the solidarity of its gamers ! :)
If you have the kindness to give me info, it would be very cool on your part.
1) I use this map:
Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!! You need to
or 
Can you give me an opinion on these areas, what is there, what type of population, standard of living, cool stuff and, of course, dangers and all things I can add for rpg.
In short all, the information necessary for a gamemaster when PCs’s will go to these areas. I do not need 200,000 words each time. Just few keywords to know and understand the atmosphere will be great.
2) What is the NOLA situation since Katrina? Is everything rebuilt ? Do you still have many devastated areas ? What the majors evolutions for you ?
3) It is often said that NOLA's police are corrupt and racist. What are your impressions of the subject? I do not want to make a polemic on the subject. But when you live far from a city, you often have false ideas. For example, Paris is not a battlefield with ISIS terrorists on each corners and we live quite normally. Do not believe FoxNews! ;)
4) Same for gangs, drugs and violence in NOLA. If you have gang names and more generally information about criminal activities in NOLA... Don't want murder ratio but your ideas as true people and rpg masters and players who begin an adventure here.
5) my campagne happens during January-February 2017 : You talked about what to Nola at this time ? facts, events, in short the morning news ...
6) My PCs are FBI agents. If I have found a lot of things at the national level, I have nothing at NOLA level (except the address and name of the director). Do you know where I can find information about the local office, its structure, composition and what it usually works on.
7) Much of my story is going to happen in the 3rd NOPD District.
Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!! You need to or
Can you give me more detailled informations about this district (population, etc...) ? Same thing concerning NOPD 3rd district and the criminality.
Well, that's all for the moment...
Thank you by advance for your answers and Lâchez pas la patate ! :D
