DUE TO HIGH LEVELS OF INTEREST here is a worldbuilding thread for Las Ballenas. Here is all the informal stuff I have going on in my brainmeats:
<ul type="disc]<li>I based it on San Diego and the Inland Empire and the name is an Anchorman joke because I am insufferable
</li><li>Much like Valesport, I like it to be slightly self-contained just to avoid any wide-reaching implications. Those kinds of things (far-reaching governmental and world politics changes etc) make for interesting novels but hella heavy lore for a roleplay. I prefer to keep lore light in general just to make things easier for newbs to jump in? So outside Las Ballenas the craziness of it is probably widely considered to be exaggerated.
</li><li>"TV rules" might be a better explanation for it, with Valesport analogous to Supernatural and Las Ballenas analogous to Eureka. Did anyone else watch Eureka? Whatever idc you get what I mean here probably</li><li>'Somebody Else's Problem Field' is another good way to think about the valley, although I haven't decided if there is actual fuckery in place or just human nature
</li><li>Any good comic has way more villains than heroes so that's probably true here as well</li><li>I have seriously not put very much thought into this at all aside from "it's a lot like my hometown but some of those assholes have superstrength"
</li></ul>
