[UA] Re: City Swop

[Robin Pfeifer]

I would like to contribute to (and make use of) any city swop project; as I am in Germany I lack information on American cities, but while I myself do not exactly live in the hotbed of Germany I can easily find out a thing or two about the country (and I have been to Berlin at least!). I'm not far from Cologne, Düsseldorf and the Ruhr Area.

I will start my first UA campaign today; my players wanted an X-files style game, and I decided to make them FBI agents in UA. My players don't know anything about UA, and as they won't touch the books they will only know what I tell them. I prefer guiding them towards new game settings that way. Power level is usually fairly low.

The first scenario I am writing involves the disappearance of a boy during a candlelight tour of the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose (thanks to about.com). I have a lot of info on that house, but not much yet about San Jose. I could use a link to a decent city map or online guide, or a description of interesting features by someone in the know. UA-wise I will have a cliomancer-in-residence at the house, but no-one very powerful. The house itself of course is full of trapped revenants, just as Mrs. Winchester's medium predicted...

And I have a specific question: according to my World Almanac of 1992 the FBI has (or had then) 56 offices in other US cities. Is San Jose among them? The PCs will operate out of the Washington headquarters (a picture of which would be nice as well), but if there is an office in San Jose I will have to create local agents as supporting cast etc.

If any other suggestions come up, I'll be glad to have them as well.

Thanks in advance,

Robin
