Dr. Orpheus: It's powered by a forsaken child?!
Dr. Venture: Might be, kind of — I mean, I didn't use the whole thing!

I’ve decided on my next blog article, it’s going to be about a Bad Place - a setting for a horror story. See GURPS Horror.
The Bad Place is complex or confusing, hard to escape, anachronistic, and unnatural and malevolent in itself.

I have not decided on the details and specifics yet. That’s where you come in, I’d like help and suggestions.

My vague ideas so far are;
Dormitory?
Underground Labyrinth?
Galleria with Arcade?
Artist’s House?

Ideas?

Reign of Silver

Imagine a world ruled by a dozen ancient oligarchs, kept alive far beyond natural human lifespans via medical advances, and becoming ever more disconnected from humanity. Their views of normal humans range from playthings, useful pawns, obstacles, threats, or merely things to be used or disposed of without any real thought.

Basically, take the core premise of Reign of Steel, but replace the AIs with humans (or perhaps former humans).
