Hello,
I'm about to start a game set in Chicago. I'm also interested in involving the Milwaukee connection and the Weird/the Goblin Roads in-between in that game. (or at least give my players the option if they want to)
The only issue I have is, WHY would anyone use the Goblin Roads???
I mean they exist because supposedly the area between the two cities is very dangerous for Kindred to travel through, because of Lupine attacks. And there is something about parts of the area too that Lupines stay away from, which is what the Goblin roads exploit. But those parts are also weird to Vampires and sometimes the “Psychopomps” who lead others along those ways go bananas and/or vanish.
So why would you chose to use them? Let's stretch our suspension of disbelief an say that Lupines would track down and attack Kindred directly on the highway that connects both cities.
Alternatives besides the goblin roads?
Bus or even better Train, would Lupines openly attack public transport full of mortals?
Or how about just fly?
Yes crowded public transport holds it's own danger for kindred, but still seeing as to what the alternative is, again WHY go by goblin roads?
Also just grab a boat and ship across lake Michigan?
Edit: Funny side note, seeing as it is kind of ridicules to fly from Chicago to Milwaukee IRL (flight takes about 50min, plus you have to drive to and from the airport. While both cities are just 1.30 h apart by car) maybe Kindred are responsible for the flight route even existing^^.
