DEAD SOULS

Common technology is roughly on the level of what was present in the early to mid-nineties; magical augmentation on occasion will bring their capabilities to present-day equivalents or beyond, but such instances are generally priced out of the general street-level populace - or obtainable by less-than-legal means.

'Kitbashed' magitech is an unregulated, open secret and has garnered something of a disreputable reputation.

COMPUTERS - Think MS-DOS, Windows 3.1 or 95. Laptops are present, and floppies and CDs are common methods of digital storage and recording. These are common marks for magitech kitbashing.

COMMUNICATION - Cellular phones are present, but are large and not app-based; they exist solely for calls and SMS texting. Video telephones are present. Dial-up is emerging technology, but this is becoming subsumed by magical equivalents. Email is new and rare, and fax technology is the predominant electronic text-based communication.

MUSIC - Cassettes, compact discs and vinyl records.

This is a divergent world from ours

movies, books, music and key historical events ran much the same way until the divergence point

HW Bush and before, 1992 was an election year

think Watchmen
