Message: <blockquote data-quote="Decamber" data-source="post: 56381" data-attributes="member: 438">Hello!I was discussing with a player about how boring and unfitting our style the Forgotten Realms campaign setting is, and on that way we ended up in discussing another quality of a setting: A combination of fantasy and modern time.Imagine a Navy SEAL running around with an M16 and carrying C4 explosives down in the deepest of Temple of Elemental Evil, shooting at the demons and blowing the nuclear reactor with the bombs, making the whole system go straight to hell, but first having the wizard teleporting them away in safety..... Well, to not let us flow out in the deepest speculation on how nasty it could be... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />The point is, if you want to play a Nikola Tesla in Forgotten Realms, you cannot. Why? Because it's Forgotten Realms. And if you want to play a Kasparov being a master of psychology and intimidation (and chess...), you cannot. Well, perhaps the latter one was a quite poor example.I want a mix of fantasy - Bob the Fighter and Liela the Wizard - and modern - Rasputin, and Tanya and Yuri from Red Alert. Why can't I play James Bond who's on a mission of blowing the evil psion gnomes' base with TNT, without being seen? Covert operations! Well, I cannot in Forgotten Realms, as far as I'm aware!Gosh, can anyone help me? Kenneth S. Hood has done a great job with the firearms rules, which I'm considering implanting to whatever campaign setting if necessary for goaling my demands...Thanking you in advance...</blockquote>
