Message: <blockquote data-quote="s/LaSH" data-source="post: 532799" data-attributes="member: 6929">d20 Modern should cover most bases... but what about that Brady Bunch reference? If PCs ever got plunged into that continuum, there'd be some weird results. The BB Universe obeys some totally different narrative laws, which (as I'm sure you know) are more powerful than the laws of physics.The Universe itself would stop people going on killing sprees. Even the scariest monster is reduced to little more than growling in an intimidating fashion, because it knows that if it tries to bite the little boy it'll catch a cupboard door in the nose instead, and if it breathes fire it'll just set off the sprinklers. I suspect that gargantuan or bigger creatures may be able to resist this effect; the Tarrasque could easily rampage through the Brady's backyard, but the PCs would be almost powerless to stop it (OK, even more powerless than usual).Imagine a showdown with a villain in the Bradyverse. Or running into a horrible monster who just wants to be freed from this horrible plane, where it can't rampage (and can't plane travel to escape; perhaps it was exiled). Or the aforementioned stop-the-Tarrasque scenario. It's a pretty total change of pace. Maybe too silly for some, but if Ravenloft is the demiplane of angst and horror, the Bradyverse is the demiplane of the opposite. I think it fits in the cosmic scheme of things.</blockquote>
