No, that is not what I was looking for. Thanks for the suggestions, though. I am looking for ideas for a setting in which the fantasy elements are not hiding but exist side by side with modern technology etc. Basically our Earth in the 21st century but magic exists in the open, albeit only...

The RPGaDAY post has made me realize how much I'd love to give a setting with the fantasy races, magic plus the technological development of our times a try. Not Shadowrun, not Postapocalypse but a version of Earth in which the fantasy races we know have developed alongside humanity, maybe as...

20th century fantasy...hmmm...makes me think...that's actually something I'd love to see. What if the fantasy races had developed alongside humanity instead of suddenly popping up like in Shadowrun/Godless/etc.? What would have changed? I believe that even if magic were real, technology would...

I think it's just that they used an overused trope in fiction - amnesia - and applied it to their whole universe....which I simply find jarring, given how creative these people can be normally. Not a fan of that. Also, either there is a divine conspiracy at work as every god seems to ignore...

Likewise. Golarion disappearing...ok. But if we are talking about thousands upon thousands of years between Pathfinder and Starfinder, the Gap really isn't necessary. think about how murky our own past even a few hundred years ago is. And computers do not make this much easier, with...

Recently started a PF campaign set in Osirion that will feature a " be careful what you wish for" theme with a nod to Berserk. The Big Bad (must be someone/something with great magical powers) is discreetly handing out Behelit-like items that twist and change people into monsters according to...

Of course, all these factors will be an issue, although it's supposed to be a background thing and the reason the group ventures out. Hmmm...a random event system or one based on certain thresholds for Security, Supplies and Morale would make sense here.... Hmmm...makes me wonder if there are...

All true :) Caravan of hope-like scenarios (Organ Trail anyone) would also be fun and I am fully prepared to run that, too. In fact, I do not intend for the players (and surviving inhabitants) to stay at the settlement forever.

I am using the Madness rules as well as Lingering Injuries, Fear and Terror and Sanity. Probably also the grittier rest rules. Though the latter might mean I'd maybe have to tweak the regaining of class abilities for some characters... Level 0 has its appeal but the basic low level classes are...

The trigger mechanic would mean that things could escalate quickly if the characters left some problem unattended for too long... I like it.

The basic premise for my new campaign is that the characters all start out as normal inhabitants of some little backwater in some kingdom, having never really seen much of the outside world. It's a standard fantasy realm...until one day, the sun flares up, then goes dim...and a scream...

Hmmm...at this moment, I am torn between either Shadow of the Demon Lord or a modified D&D 5. Shadow has a lot of the intended grittyness already built-in...but I know D&D 5 really well and love the system. Plus, i got so many beasties for 5, I won't run out for a long, long time ;) I would have...

Thanks but I was talking about Dungeon Crawl Classics :) I already know WFRP

Have never played it...care to give me the rundown?

I just can't see it working...thing is, the characters should have a chance to actually succeed - sometimes, at least. I would like to stay with a designated fantasy or universal system. To clarify, setting-wise, I am going for a mixture of Berserk, Darkest Dungeon, Symbaroum, Dark Souls and...

Sadly, CoC is not really working for a fantasy game...

I recently got the idea of a specific kind of dark fantasy/survival horror style campaign stuck in my head and it will not leave me alone until i have done SOMETHING with it... The basic premise is that the characters all start out as normal inhabitants of some little backwater in some kingdom...

A world I am currently working on has as a premise that demons, devils etc. are not "true" Outsiders but beings formed from the evil of all sentient races. They have no existence as separate entities before coming into the world via summoning. Likewise, the "God"-equivalent in that world is...
