However, within the framework of 5e not a lot can be found with modern fantasy in mind.This is such a ripe and creative field to draw from and be inspired by, especially since I envision that all myths are true, and there are so many unexplained mysteries existing in the modern world. As all myths are true, so too are all conspiracies true. And if all myths are true, maybe none of them are true <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />One question to be asked is where did all the magical races go and why can't we perform magic now? I envision that some of the more magical races, like elves, had already left via great portals that once connected our world with Realms that have since been Forgotten and also ventured into other worlds through great connecting gates. Perhaps the lineage of these magical races still lives on in us. You can see a supernatural litheness in the gracefulness of a certain ballerina, or a supernatural strength in a certain wrestler. There are also rumours floating about of a certain SWAT member who can casually walk into darkness without the aid of a flashlight or night vision googles. And perhaps these magical races haven't really left, but still live and breathe amongst us even now. As for magic? Magic hasn't died, we just don't see it as we walk by, blind in our glass and steel world. Magic still remembers us and still loves us. Adventuring ideas in this setting could be that you are all operators working for an organisation designed to keep the supernatural quiet.  You could be monster hunters. You could be the Fox Mulders of the world and trying to root out and expose conspiracies and organisations like the Men in Black, Majestic 12, etc.You could be relic hunters, adventuring to sequester them in warehouses. You could be explorers wanting to uncover and expose cryptids and unexplainable mysteries and beasts. You could a student of a magic school like Hogwarts, or you could be a lone wizard adventuring with friends like Harry Dresden. You could be members of an organisation tasked to find out what the Dyaltov Pass incident was, or any number of unexplained mysteries. I think the 5e framework would work well with modern fantasy, and especially <a href="http://dnd.wizards.com/articles/features/my-new-d20-modern-campaign" target="_blank">these rules in addition to the base 5e rules.</a>Things like <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?656260-The-Yellow-Road" target="_blank">The Yellow Road and Mister Tall</a> could be things you might encounter.</blockquote>
