Neat. If there's one disadvantage WPI has as a setting for this kind of story, it's the fact that it lacks anyplace really dramatic for such a thing to take place. Alden Hall is nice, but smallish (like a good-size church), and you can't see into it from outside. Harrington Auditorium (which, despite its name, is a gym, not an auditorium) is, well, a gym. Ditto Alumni Gym. And there are no good rooftops or high places.

I may set a Rose Duel on the little paved area in front of Bancroft Tower (the same spot my Street Fighter: Warrior's Legacy self uses as his "home stage") sometime, though, just for the ambiance, and because I'm very fond of Bancroft Tower.
