That sounds not that dissimilar to how I did my modern urban fantasy setup! Very fun.

Did the actual Session 1 of my new DH campaign today.

Motherboard setting with a heavy dose of Horizon ZD mixed in.

Used a starter adventure off their webpage and modified it a bit.

Overall it went pretty well. I need to keep it mind to get them to describe the world and their actions instead of doing it myself. Which has an extra layer of difficulty due to it being Motherboard thus wires and old buildings here and there plus no magic it's just tech that appears magical. "The lightning bolt arcs out of an overheard junction box!"


I kept in mind to not always use Fear to attack Which kind of worked because I was hurting for Fear here and there but it worked well!

The players seem to love it so far. Our youngest player def leaning into the narrative aspect of it. "The forest is purple!" thus The Purple Forest near town was born.

We finally had our Session 0 for my ongoing Edwardian Magitech Superhero campaign Arcanopolis Knights (which had its first iteration as a convention campaign last fall). We got to onboard a new player, get characters figured out, build connections and otherwise do Session 0 stuff. This game is monthly, so I have plenty of time to build a few villains and situations and then just let the heroes loose on their city.

I am using The Arcanopolis Eye as my way of doing session recaps for my Fantasy Edwardian Magitech Superhero game.

Does anyone here have Incredible Creatures?
if so, what do you think?

For those who might be running one-shot intros, somebody did an excellent job remixing the Sablewood Messenger’s adventure into something that far better shows off the system:

I do. With the caveat that I've yet to use any of those statblocks in an actual session yet and can't comment on balance, I'm generally pleased with the book. There are a lot of adversaries, covering a diverse ground. You'll see support for pretty much every Core Campaign Frame, I didn't see myself running a Beast Feast campaign, but after seeing the Pudding of Destruction ... I kinda want to. There's a couple of Colossi, if you are running any of the Core Frames, there's stuff geared for you.

The organization is interesting ... it's not a bestiary of alphabetical monsters. Adversaries are grouped basically into packaged encounters, for example, there's a Ice and Snow section with a bunch of arctic themed adversaries and a cold environment. It probably improves useability at the table, assuming you are using statblocks from these groupings, instead of having the Frozen Horrors from the "F" section in with the "Veiled Hag" elsewhere, for example. But it's trickier if you are crossing streams and pulling statblocks from different sections.
