1. This is definitely a world where magic is generally hidden; one of the reasons why the fraternity exists is to give the families a place to be among those who are in the 'know' and who understand the many burdens involved in being in this situation. Closely kept but obviously, there's other factions and people who are aware of the supernatural side of the world.
2. I said 'slice of life' mostly to indicate that I intend to give folks time to have normal life foibles in between the supernatural nonsense that might come about. I'd be very down for horror but I admit for me, that usually comes with certain elements of dark comedy and probably some adventure. I think it'd be good to have a balance between characters having agency and reason to take action and times where actions will have consequences and there may not be easy (or even any) way out that isn't through.
3. I was planning on putting it on Earth but with the option for fictionalizing Earth as one likes: if you want to put Barovia somewhere near Romania, if Bruce Wayne apps they can be from Gotham, etc. Having Earth as the 'frame' but allowing for plugging in other fictional bits as needed.
