Now, I am well aware some of you will try to defend this abomination: some players just don't like to flip their character sheet every now and then and prefer to see everything at a glance.
But please, do yourselves a favour and fuck off. I am here, planning the adventure, and have to manage 12 sheets of paper instead of 6.
My autism is getting me fucking cranky.
What's wrong with people who cannot print double sided?

What system does in your opinion strike a good balance between realism and simplicity when it comes to firearms?
How does it deal with recoil, bursts, reloading, aiming etc.?

Auto fire gives you 3 attacks at -2 to hit each
> bursts
give bonus to hit and damage

spend an action to get +2 to hit

no official rules but reloading is generally an action.

What's this again? Doesn't really ring a bell right now.
>So what do you guys want out of the Kamigawa Jump?
Ninja stuff. Preferably as an Origin, though I guess general perks would be okay if you don't have enough for that.
Also, Kitsune race. Did you just forget those? Because fluffy tails need to be in there.
An Orochi village/hatchery?
Land purchases. We need MOAR LANDS.
Mothrider stuff. And accompanying giant moth(s).
Oni stuff. Probably connected to the Oni stuff, but worth mentioning.
The favor/patronage/blessing of a Myojin, like Toshiro Umezawa and the Myojin of Night's Reach. Abilities like slipping through shadows, enhancing magic, and stuff for Night's Reach and thematic stuff for the others.
Speaking of Night's Reach... for the items, include the Mask of Night's Reach?
Some perk for doing stuff like the Epic spells?
Shrines, like the Hondens of the Myojin
Genju stuff, animating lands into spirits.
Arcane stuff, splicing those into spells?
Something about being an Ascendant, like the various [Name+Race] Ascendant/[Name]'s Essence flip cards.
Something to do with being a Legendary creature, considering Kamigawa's focus on those?

So I was thinking of running either a weird west style game or a Russian eastward expansion game where the players set off to some obscure frontier town and battle against the elements and natives, while slowly the horror of the supernatural seeps in. Was wondering what advice you might have for me in running a frontier style game and if anyone knows some interesting pieces of either Slavic or Native American mythology that would serve as good fuel for inspiration as I am more familiar with classical and Nordic mythology. Also which do you think would serve as a more interesting setting.

Unfortunately I'm not that familiar with both mythologies to give you any help in that.
My opinion is that Siberia would be the better setting for the occult and supernatural happening, as it is a much more foreign setting for most people and some real bizarre things happened there, even recently
Look up the Dyatlov Pass incident or if you can Russia's mystery files

>There's a supplement built for this
Gurps horror; great read on it own, full of weirdness you can drag and drop into your game.
Everything you'll likely need is in the basic set, plus Horror. If your players like gun and equipment porn? High tech has the old West covered(alongside Russia's stuff too, it's very comprehensive)

By the G&F novels we know that Belegar got a foothold in K8Ps, by the End Times we know that he died fighting against gobbos and skaven, but what happened before that?
Can the exodus from Karak Izor and the Vaults presented by TW: Warhammer be taken as canon?
How the fuck did this madman manage in the first place to sneak trough the Badlands and besiege K8Ps?
Also, fuck Grimgor Marysuehide

How would you go about designing a setting, and playing in a game, that had the potential for its heroes, villains and monsters to hold their own against the level of power a modern military could bring to bear against them? Note I don't necessarily mean it has to be a modern versus fantasy scenario, just that a warrior tank could hypothetically tank a literal tank, and maybe a dragon could dogfight an f-16.
Obviously this implies very advanced magical equipment and spells designed to fight far more powerful monsters than most d&d campaigns involve. Complicated and esoteric powers would distract from the theme here, so maybe something like Exalted doesn't work as well.
Thoughts?

Scion comes to mind.
Granted that brings up the whole mythology element and masquerade you may not want.
>>
>>52025209
Seems like you've already captured the core concept.
>heroes, villains and monsters to hold their own against the level of power a modern military
means that individuals have extreme power compared to what modern soldiers have, but more importantly that this setting's equivalent of modern soldiers do NOT have access to this power. It could be prototype tech, but it's probably not; whatever superpower source the individual characters are using, it can't be mass produced. Work from that.
Now, you said setting, and not system, but assuming you wanted to design a new system and are not one of those ludicrous bastards that thinks that system doesn't matter (if you are, just play Fate or GURPS depending on how crunchy you like your systems), you should embrace that theme of exceptional characters and create a base system a la nWoD that represents the power level of ordinary people. A simple, cynical, system where a person getting shot will be out of the fight and probably die rather than just lose HP. You know, a desperately un-fun system to run a lot of combats in. Use that as your baseline, and having established that baseline, make the PCs and villains exceptional as compared to that baseline.
As an example, my 5th level Fighter can take an arrow while unarmored, restrained and completely unaware of his opponent; that's normal for DnD, and it's a bit boring. But if you establish that there is no one in the world who can just shrug off being shot in the face, tying that perception into the world that we live in now and recognise, and then give a character the ability to ignore bullets, and then allow your NPCs to react to the fact that that's happening, then you've got a system and a setting that work together. You've also got a potential situation where you can have two of these guys meet on a battlefield after massacring each other's rank and file soldiers, recognise each other, and then drop their guns and draw swords.

What do you think of the newly nerfed Avowed 1 and 2?
How do you like Legalistic from Avowed 2? It's a level 6+ feat that lets you pick up Hidden Knowledge (permanent +6 untyped to all Knowledges and use them untrained) or Silver Tongue (permanent +6 untyped to Bluff, Diplomacy, and Intimidate).
