Probably going to run sometime. Don't hold your breath.
Setting Elements
Supernatural Society
Techno Quiescence
Tokyo is techno turf, but recently their activity has declined for unknown reasons.
Undead War
The Kuei-Jin clans of Japan are long-established, but successive waves of Cainite immigration have carved out niches. Recent events have spurred a new hot phase of this cold war.
Urban Legends
On street corners, in hallways, in locker rooms, in comment threads; Tokyo is an endless marketplace of fanciful rumours.
Drift
The appearance of objects and phenomena from alternate histories. Banknotes from the Heisei era of Imperial Japan, refugees from brutal civil war, and newspaper articles announcing the death of Nelson Mandela in prison have all had their moments of unverifiable online fame.
Tokyo Labyrinth
Tokyo's transport network is larger than any human mind can grasp, but some say it is larger than even its creators and operators know. Crannies in time and space hide secret lines and districts, which few find and fewer return from.
Heaven or Hell
It's hard to get ahead in the Japan of the lost decades, but some down on their luck are given a chance at a new life. Participate in one of the bizarre secret games run for the amusement of certain wealthy spectators, and you can achieve your dream - or suffer a fate worse than debt.
Vermilion Air
Children have always pretended to have special powers, but more and more unsourced testimonials insisting that these ones are real have begun to appear. Enthusiasts declare that the spiritual alignment of modernity has created a 'vermilion air' that awakens latent powers... or something.
High Schools
Fujisaka Jogakuin (藤坂女学院)
Posh girls private HS. Has a ghost problem.
Shingata Rengou Koutou Gakkou (新型連合高等学校)
'Scientific' high school using new educational techniques. Backed by a combination of zaibatsu hoping to restore Japan's place at the forefront of modernity.
Sotei Gakuen (素亭学園)
Ultra-high-class private school for children of the nationalist elite. Sinister.
