In the style of many other Society Games, White Raccoon is a largely open ended game inviting players to create their own stories and plotlines, exploring the game's central premise and themes in ways enjoyable to them. text/html 2023-07-17T14:39:40+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://whiteraccoon.oxfordrpg.com/character_creation?rev=1689604780&do=diff Character Creation In White Raccoon, you play as a sentient, adult animal living in the City or the surrounding area. One of the main themes of the game is the idea of Home and Exploration, so there are some questions asked as part of character creation to get you thinking about how your character thinks about these topics. text/html 2023-07-25T18:36:51+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://whiteraccoon.oxfordrpg.com/city_centre?rev=1690310211&do=diff The City Centre "The bird who flies highest doesn't see what happens on the ground." -- A saying often heard around the Grey Trees ---------- At the very heart of the City lies the City Centre, the most populous area of the entire City and also the most visually striking.
