>interpreting magical metaphsyics and cosmologies
Dont fall down the same rabbit hole i did man im like a junkie for any fucking magical lore i can get my hands on for any game i run, joke aside you just integrate it as best as possible squash the big issues and since the small ones are impossible to anticipate just do it on a case by case basis
>what makes or breaks a modern fantasy setting
tough one but in my opinion its phones and non heavily government regulated information
i mean you got to think if magic existed for a long time the government would be way stricter then they are now right? basically its a no-brainer that pc's will have to actually work for info instead of just being like "i google it LOL"

Let's talk about my reward...

Nice try, aboleth.

kek

I don't know the series but Strike! does fighty-shonen pretty well.

I wrote up a pitch here: >>54875732

>>54885324
I appreciate the simple and dynamic combat, but it's actually the friendship and motivation part that's even more important.
>Heroes are worthless but believes in themselves so they achieve everything and have endless potential
>the moral support from your group it what really gives you power, up to doing the genkidama
Stuff like that.

>>54884586
I thought it was unfinished because the creator abandoned it.

I drawfagged a picture for it in the long long ago.

>>54886220
still got it on ya?

And I mean, that's unfortunate. It seemed like a fun concept. Was any play testing done?

>>54886591
I can post it in about eight hours if this thread is still up. It's not very good.

So any generic fantasy setting?

>>54884127

You tell me, how many generic fantasy settings have this premise? Certainly not DnD.

>>54884162

If you really want to push it than Shadowrun technically.

I suppose to a lesser extent Berserk now that Griffith has basically broken the damn as it where allowing more magic and monsters into the world?

Rolled 5, 1 = 6 (2d6)

Test

I'm on my phone but there is a tool or two that lets you change and manipulate google earth maps. Might be worth a google.
Unless you're looking for custom art stuff than I am unaware if anything like that exists.

>>54883275
rejoice.

People usually say something about Strike! at this point.

But you need to consider something critical to RPG design: what does it mean if the protagonist dies? Do they warp through time and space to continue rip and tearing? Is the setting a video game with savestates?

It'd be fun to see the modern DOOM emulsified into a Fate Core hack. I considered some parts of it; you chain Boosts via stomping demons, all the while equipped with different Stunt arrays per weapon, and "conceding" means resetting the map.
One of Fate's upsides is its 4DF distribution. Keeping numbers low and narrative elements basic, I think it could be done.

If the PC dies easily I'd recommend some way to negate it or you'll have a party of identical grandchildren or murderhobos. Let them rez themselves, give them backup clones like in Paranoia.

Hell, make all the PCs revenants or something.

>Regen 1d6 HP per round.
>Even when dead.
>Die at 0hp
>Your corpse can take damage.
>Revive at 1hp.
>negative max hp = 3 days dead

Now if one party member gets mulched by demons, the game turns from pure rip & tear into "stop them from eating the corpse so Lt. Stalvern doesn't have a jesus respawn"

My friend, what you want is a megadungeon, also known as a campaign dungeon. They've been around for ages, all the way backto the genesis of the hobby and Gygax himself.

best thing to do with a big evil is imprison him in an objecy, like a ring, and put it somwhere sicure like a dungeon or unnoticeable like a pile of tresure or hidden like the bottom of a well.
adventure ensues.

I use the excuse of having a moon in my setting be a mega-dungeon. All monsters are spawned by one evil god, and he lives at the core of this red moon.

In Australia?

First and foremost, make it so that every army is a good choice. Don't be like here about what army your members run.
Second encourage painting. Don't restrict games unless people are just using grey tide armies for months

No, America. The college is shit, and doesn't have that many clubs, and the closest hobby shop is a 45 minute to an hour drive depending on the road you take. Sorry for the flipped photo, my iPad doesn't work properly in the camera department.

what type of game do you and your players want to play? ask them. find a theme. find something to hold on to. make suggestions based on the things you like, but make sure you listen to your players. that will give you a much better idea of what you're looking for.

Like I said they stick to Pathfinder and 5e, so they're probably most comfortable with generic fantasy and the surrounding neighborhood, but I know a lot of them and they're a pretty diverse bunch so I don't think they'd be scared off by anything outside that wheelhouse.

Sorry I don't have much more information to go off of, I'm more feeling out ideas of what I think I can pull off.

Pic unrelated, unless you somehow make it related...

Dark Heresy is fun as fuck, why not run it? It's even more fun when you don't know shit about 40k. When your players meet daemons or xenos it's even better if they have no idea what they're dealing with.

Playing DH with my brother is what got me into 40k.

>Playing at a friendly tournament
>Older guy I know is there, mostly plays Vintage
>In between rounds, asks if I want to play Vintage

Fun Game though.

December 31, 2017? No.

June 30, 2018? Without a doubt. the team trip PT is going to force everyone to finally buy in or pay the chinaman, and you can't get away with chinaman fakes at a PT.
