Game and Story Use

• Mexico is a land that is rich in spiritual culture. The "Dia De Los Muertos," or the Day of the Dead, is a holiday celebrated in Mexico to remember and pray for relatives and friends who have died, and Mexico City contains a recently discovered passage to the underworld. This would be an excellent setting for an adventure that involves archaeological discovery, cliffhanger adventures, and/or occult investigation.
• For action-oriented games, the War on Drugs and its repercussions offer plenty of opportunity for violence. And for horror as well - even without invoking supernatural elements.
