I think it’s a big tension throughout the game: is it about politics and community and a kind of The Wire-ish reflection on systems and factions, or is it about a party of urban fantasy protagonists who are in a team-up crossover novel to take down the evil sorcerer mayor?

I think both of those games are in there, and they war a bit with each other.

That’s not to say that you can’t get good games out of that mix. But I’ve always felt that tension with each US game.
