This must be my Alex Proyas tape. Dark City was one of those movies that came up a lot on the old Kult RPG list I was on.
Connor thought it was cool, but had a lot of his own theories and questions.
As much as I talk about the Occult Revival 70s, there is also the Paranoid 90s. Everything is a conspiracy and THEY are always out to get you or keep you from the truth. You can see this in the X-files and movies like The Matrix and They Live.
Games like Kult (1991), Conspiracy X (1996), Beyond the Supernatural (1987), Chill 2nd Edition (1990), even to a degree Alternity's Dark Matter, all captured different aspects of this feeling.
I was involved in many online debates on what system would do Dark City justice. I had always put my chips in a Conspiracy X/WitchCraft hybrid.
