Hello fellow Guardians! Winchester here.
I run a tabletop RPG version of Destiny, and I'm trying to come up with ideas for what different cities on Earth would be like centuries after coming in contact with the Traveler, and then going through the collapse.
Unfortunately, as far as I'm aware, the Grimoire and old concept art only mention Russia, Old Chicago, and the Mumbai Push.
If you guys, my fellow nerds, could help me come up with ideas for what the ruined cities of Earth would be like, I'd really appreciate it!
For example, for Old Chicago, I already know that it's been overrun by swamp (according to an old interview and concept art), so I came up with the idea that it got that way because of an unfinished network of machines and satellites made for terraforming. In the Downtown area, a Hive seeder crashed, carrying with it canisters of a microscopic, parasitic organism released in the form of spores that affect humans and Hive alike, flooding all of Downtown with an eery yellow-green mist, filled with lumbering, jerky Hive monstrosities. Bridges and ropes connect the upper areas of the city skyscrapers, in order to avoid the gas below in the flooded streets. In Southern Chicago, there's a small human settlement called Ravenswood (real-world neighborhood in Chicago).
That's an example of the kind of stuff I'm looking for. Doesn't have to be super in-depth, just enough to give an interesting summary of the city's current state in the world.
If you, my fellow nerds, could help me flesh out the universe, I'd really appreciate it! I'm looking to flesh out the following areas:
-Canada
---Ontario
---Nova Scotia
-Alaska
---Kodiak Island
---Yukon-Koyukuk
-Mainland USA
---Florida Flood Zone
---Texas
---Old California
---New York Ruins
-Mexico
---(any area)
-Cuba
---(any area)
-Brazil
---Rio de Janeiro
-Peru
---(any area)
-Argentina
---(any area)
-Greenland
---N. Greenland (always in darkness)
---S. Greenland
-Europe
---Iceland
---London Dead ZONE
---Ireland
---France
---Italy
---Greece
-Kazakhstan
-Afghanistan
-China
-Japan
-Thailand
-Philippines
-Indonesia
-Australia
---Tasmania
---Sydney
-New Zealand
---Auckland
---Marlborough
-India
---Mumbai Push
---New Delhi
-Egypt
-Sudan
-Libya
-Morocco
-Madagascar
-Iraq
-Saudi Arabia
-Antarctica
I know this is a giant list, but I'm not looking for EVERYTHING to be filled out. I'm just throwing out options.
THANKS IN ADVANCE, FELLOW GUARDIANS!!!

2 RepliesWell, you have the ruin of London in the European Dead Zone, which is likely where Widow's Court and Memento take place. Also mentioned by the bounty bot are the New York Crater and the Manhattan Nuclear Zone.
