Excellent! I'm definitely gonna use that idea too.
Also, maybe a lot of of the early goth bands would play in Roanoke back in the early 80's and gave it glowing praise so it became like a pilgrimage for goths and punks to attend the concerts there, along with having a famous horror novelist to...
You know, the idea of making the WoD version of Roanoke into a kitschy gothic tourist town is a great idea. It'd be like a mishmash of Branson, Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, Asbury Park, Myrtle Beach, Blowing Rock, and the like but geared towards the goth and punk subculture.

I think it was emergent. The wargaming scene in the late 1960's and early 1970's had so many parallel developments that it was going to emerge no matter what. But OD&D was where it all came together into what would become the form we all recognize today.
If I were to guess what kicked off the...
