This page is about the season. For the location, see Bluff City (city).

Bluff City is a Patreon-exclusive episodic series focusing on the titular city, which lies along the east coast of the USA. The location of Bluff City is loosely-based on the real-life Atlantic City, New Jersey.

“

Welcome to Bluff City: Flickering neon reflecting off the waves, slot machine ring, boardwalk hustle, booming laughs from the corner spot.

Bluff City: Home of the lucky and their poor families too. A revving engine, the sounding of a harbour bell, a familiar wind, a gunshot round the way, the din of the casino floor, a bad plan misheard, America's favourite fling.

Bluff City: the light of a cigarette, the shape of a body or two, the red and blues of a patrol car and money man, money. They say there's a thousand highways you can take to reach this town, but there ain't no train to Bluff City.

One of them towns where there's a tale behind every hand of cards, a lie for every truth, a side gig for every payday.”
