Asking for advice: Running ETU
Bullet points:
- I'm from continental Europe (Spain, specifically)
- I'm starting to prep a campaign in East Texas University (ETU) setting.
- I have a "university background" (spent about 14 years at 2 Spanish universities as a student and then a researcher)
-Continental Europe Universities (and European university culture) seem to be hugely different from their counterparts in the USA.
Asking for your help in finding:
- Simple, clear online resources that explain how the USA study plans work — with some detail and starting with the basics.
- Online resources about university culture in the USA — if possible, with some historical background
- Finally, resources about nowadays Texas idiosyncrasy and culture.
Final word
I understand that I don't need my ETU to be "realistic" but I find that every "slice of life" detail I add to my campaigns resonates in the players' minds and helps them to feel that the setting is alive.
