New generic contemporary/urban fantasy?

Was iHunt mentioned? Because I think it fits.

It really does feel like it would require going back quite a ways to find a ruleset that could work for this, which is kind of nuts.

I don’t mind rules lite, it’s just that these new games have settings that range from nonexistent to a couple pages long at most. I know that 90s ttrpg settings tended to be self-aggrandizing messes that were completely irrelevant to the actual gameplay, but that doesn’t mean the right answer is to go in the opposite direction and not design settings at all.

I like having a multitude of settings, like All Flesh Must Be Eaten’s deadworlds. The only modern game that I can think of which does that is Night’s Black Agents, which is great if I want to play vampire hunters but not so much anything else.

Check out After The Vampire Wars for Mythras RPG by The Design Mechanism. I feel like there’s a solid setting in there with room to set you’re own games in.

I see you've read Kids on Brooms, which spends more pages on player safety (which is a good thing, to be clear) than on what the actual magic school or larger magical society looks like. It basically is a few pages of mechanics and then a note saying "you'll figure the rest out."

I don’t touch games that have only one setting. I had awful experiences with certain religious fandoms in the past who viciously cyberbullied me for defying their sacred canon. Now it’s multiverse or bust. Only way to be sure the community aren’t nutjobs.

DriveThruRPG is the Mythras multiverse book, maybe paring it with After the Vampire Wars would give you the material you need (Mythras is similar to BRP)

Dreaming Cities is rather old, but it had four sample settings in it.

This is an original setting. I don't think it is based on any IP. I don't believe you will find any Mythras fans that behave or feel like this.
