Bluff City (season)

From fattwiki

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.

– Opening narration of Bluff City Episode 1

In 2020, season one of Bluff City was released for free as a way to help ease the stress felt by many during the COVID-19 pandemic; it can be found at tinyurl.com/freebluff. From 19 March 2023 to 30 July of the same year, season one was rebroadcast live on Twitch on Sunday afternoons and afterwards uploaded to YouTube. This was followed by rebroadcasts of the Live at the Table games set in the Bluff City continuity. This decision was made to give people a more convenient way to access the episodes.

The second season of Bluff City remains exclusive to patrons.
