[h1]Rules[/h1]

1. The GM's, or any assigned Co-GM's, word is law.
2. Standard site rules regarding flaming and the like.
3. When choosing a power, follow the rule of thumb that stronger powers should probably have stronger or more severe negative side effects.
4. Also on powers, to have a stronger power would mean having been closer to the chemical explosion and vice versa.
5. I've provided some traits of Modern City courtesy of suggestions by various people in the interest check, but feel free to make more suggestions. I want Modern City to almost be a character in its own right, with lots neat little tidbits and things to make it feel more organic and alive.
