nWoD - Things to do in Ottawa when you're DEAD
Death has meaning. It's not just symbolic, it's a doorway. Once you cross through that doorway, you become something different. It could be your actual, physical death, or it could be the death of a loved one, or any one of the many thousand shocks that we deal with throughout our lives. Death is change.Ottawa is an old city, nearing 200 years since the incorporation of Bytown in 1826. It is a mix of the old and the new, with the downtown streets laid out pretty much along the same lines as the original streets, while the suburbs take on the latest and greatest in housing and building technology. It is a mix of Gothic, Neo-Gothic and postmodern construction, with hundred year old churches nestled in beside glass and steel towers.
Taking it's name from the Algonquin word adawe, which means "to trade", Ottawa was built on the watery crossroads of the Ottawa River and the Rideau Canal. The first major industry was logging, with many logging runs making their way down the Ottawa River and on to places such as Montreal and Quebec City. The Rideau Canal connects Kingston, Ontario to Ottawa, and was originally built as a precaution against war with the United States.
Due to its mix of old world and new, Ottawa finds itself a crossroads for all manner of things that go bump in the night. Unbeknownst to the mortal inhabitants of the City, vampires, werewolves, ghosts and worse make their home in the nooks and crannies of its old streets, and in the wide open parks and areas of forest, and the old graveyards and burial grounds.
Things to do in Ottawa when you're DEAD is an nWoD game, where players start as mortal characters who've experienced a brush with Death. And it's this brush with Death that opens their eyes to the things that normally remain unseen. It is a revelation that threatens to drag them down into the darkness... how will they choose to deal with it?
