So I’m perusing the threads at one of my favorite game forums, Fear the Boot, skimming topics and looking for places where my brilliance can help inspire/inform my brother’s in RPGing. I come to a poll written by an Irish GM trying to decide where to set his occult themed crime campaign. (the Dresdan Files series has inspired many into this trendy gaming niche) The options on the poll were: Chicago, Boston, Detroit and Other. … DETROIT?!?!

My hometown is known for many things, spooky it ain’t. (He considered us cause the The Crow was set here) A post respondent — from Detroit, likely a suburbanite since he’s a gamer — mentioned a few local legends I’d never even heard of (Nain Rouge the murderous red dwarf ???), but everyone pretty much agreed on the image of dirty decay in this urban stain I call home. (pardon me while I step away from the weed-dusted keyboard to sell some crack to the local rape gang on their lunch break).

“Yeah. You killed me. But where was I gonna go? Detroit?”

New Orleans, St. Louis, Baltimore, Detroit and Washington DC have been the leading hot spots for ganking in recent years — but Detroit is considered the Fallujah of America — it was before most knew the Iraq city existed. The others have reputations that eclipse their violence: the bead-throwing titty-showing city of decadence; home of the blues and barbeque; our nation’s capitol. Detroit is the home of the Motown sound where we string up white people Predator-style to blast like pinatas, but with bullets.

Racial tensions go back to the 40’s when southern blacks and whites migrated here for war industry jobs, then the whites fled to the suburbs (lest they suffer the bane of mulatto grandchildren). They took much business with them. Add a huge riot, divisive politicians, a gas crisis in a car making city, drugs, manufacturing outsourcing, and you get Detroit — the bulbous black butt of subtly racist jokes since the seventies.

The NAACP even buried the “N-Word” downtown  in a pine box last year (like it was born here)!

We are, however, on the mend and have been for near forty years. We’ve got art, music, business, and international appeal (Viva Mehico).

Baltimore — now that’s a fucked up city!
