If you can be specific e.g. "I like the Warforge because it lets me play a fantasy robot" "I like the tech because it's different than the usual sword and sorcery stuff." "I like that the Gnomes are spying sneaks." etc.

I have not, but I will. Thanks!

Yes. Okay, I'll try to check it out. Thanks!

So I used one of those city/town generators to create this (adding in my own coloring). Named (for now) "Bay City", it could work as a potential city for the setting. Might need to readjust the scale. I figured since this has a 30's-50's sort of vibe that a railway isn't going to be out of...

Depending on the type of damage bullets do, technically anything resistant or immune to it would work. Werecreatures are rather famous for needing silver bullets.

Not to mention that flame arrow is a thing and certainly variants could appear (possibly under "energy munition"). Research into attaching other effects (like fireball) would also be likely.

They're in your footer as a spoiler "Useful Threads". Unearthed Arcana has the Expert, the Spellcaster, and the Warrior with suggestions how to make each. I could do that here. There's going to be some overlap in concepts (Rangers are considered Experts along with Bards and Rogues, but Rangers...

I mean, it's sort of the point of this thread to allow people to put in their ideas on what this could/should be. The links you gave, for instance, are going to be helpful but if you have ideas for the streamlined classes, I'd certainly like to hear them!

Yeah, but that sort of goes with what I said about the country being a bit more chilling than the city. nods If there's interest in this sort of setting anyway. I'm honestly not sure exactly how much needs hard changed and how much is more of a "fluff" change.

Not sure what sort of interest there will be in this, but it's worth trying. Overall Setting: 1) It's likely going to take place in a city of some sort since, thematically, that's likely the first thing people think of. Something based on New York or London would do nicely, though other...

I think, even more so, is "does it fit here?" There's a large amount of Ren Faire in fantasy worlds. They won't make sense as applied to real history. As Remathilis mentioned, Eberron basically worked things backwards to get what they wanted. It could be the same for any setting that has any...

The humanoid pterodactyl looks at you and says: "I don't want to cure cancer! I want to turn people into dinosaurs!"

In even less serious science areas you end up with freeze rays and humanoid pterodactyls that can turn people into dinosaurs. There's really nothing wrong with wanting a specific feel to a setting (which is why I think that the inclusion of firearms needs to be appropriate for that rather than...

I guess my question would be: how to fix this for a setting that has some of the trappings of Solo Leveling (I find the Dungeons fascinating) while avoiding as many pitfalls as possible (especially the "Chosen One" stuff)?

I'm not entirely sure on that. At least, if one goes into scifi settings it seems there's a willingness to extend things a bit more (teleporters, wormholes, FTL, etc.) But there's definitely a lot of suspension of disbelief to allow dragons to exist and not cause troubles in ways folks are...

I don't really follow this. I said "magical innovations" not "technological innovations". I know perfectly well that if given one solution that's known to work (magic) it's not very likely that other solutions (chemistry/medicine/etc.) are going to be looked at quite as seriously. However there...

Fire lances were used by the Chinese from the 10th to 12th centuries which were effectively flame throwers with the option to do shrapnel damage (probably the equivalent of burning hands in terms of fire damage + some piercing damage if someone fails a DEX save). By the 13th century there were...

If you're not familiar with Solo Leveling, there's a wikipedia article and actual wiki on it. The basic premise being there are two warring factions of divine beings one of which wants to aid humanity and the other which wishes to destroy it. The ones that want to aid humanity create Dungeons...

"Welcome stranger, to the town of Bunnyburrow in Beatrixia!" A strange, small, Harengon greets you. He stands barely three feet tall and has immaculately white fur. He is wearing a red velvet jacket and watch with golden casing and chain. "I'm Peter the Greeter!" You're not entirely sure how...
