Stop me if you've heard this one. Really. I think I need a hard smacking and this may well be the perfect place to come.
See, I love the Anitaverse. I just can't bloody stand Anita anymore, or LKH's writing of her.
...Which is tempting me to start an RPG. All originals, or second string characters, but no Anita - Anita's dead, her triumvirate is dead with her, and anyway the setting would be Chicago and not St. Louis, so while some of the old favorites might transfer, most wouldn't.
Oh. And no posted smut that hasn't got a provable plot bearing (like a vampire deep-rolling someone, so they can control them later, or a lycanthrope dominance contest).
I've poked around looking for Anitaverse RPGs and they're as All About The Smut as the Anitaverse itself has become. So one must assume that an Anitaverse RPG that was about the world and the laws and non-smut character interaction would probably either Go Nowhere or devolve into horribly written sex, weighed down by its canon.
*bows* Please cluebat me. Hard. The brain keeps thinking this is a good idea and should be tried. The brain is very bad and needs to be taught a lesson.

Re: part 2
And, no, no problem. Actually, my high school (which was middle/upper-middle class on the area maps) had so many marijuana fumes blowing around in summer school that some of the students IN summer school had to win their grades through contact highs. And yeah to the drinking too, though owing to there being nothing much to do, most of the evening gatherings were in parks. Lie on somebody's car hood, drink and smoke and generally bitch at the stars. Designer drugs I wasn't into, but I know they were around.
The main weather notes for St. Louis are:
Spring: Tornado season. Seriously, it's not at all unusual to average one tornado warning every few weeks in march and april. And where it's not tornado watch or tornado warning, it's Severe Thunderstorm alerts. The Midwest gets the biggest, loudest, most ferocious thunderstorms in the world, and they're used to it. (I used to sit out on my porch during some of them - quite ruined my taste for the average showerhead. Thunder and lightning and POUNDING rain, causing flash flooding in areas...) I've never met anyone quite like a midwesterner for the casual attitudes toward lightning strikes and tornados. I care not what the meteorologists say. In St. Louis, Spring is March and April.
Summer: HUUUUUUUMID. Those two rivers really make it humid, muggy, and mosquito-ridden. Also sometimes with the thunderstorms. Don't-Breathe-Days. (AKA Ozone Action Alerts.) Weatherwise, Summer is May-Sep.
Autumn: humid and cool, really. Fog happens a lot. Very thick, can't-see-more-than-fifteen-feet-ahead sort of fog. Sep-Nov.
Winter: I used to think it wasn't a proper winter unless the city pipes had frozen. Used to get plenty of unscheduled no-school days in december and january when they'd freeze and burst...really water management tends to govern the year all around. Dec-Feb, but sometimes winter doesn't really hit until January. February is almost always an icy snowy bitch, though.
