Modern Technology in Fantasy

Is she... Getting off with the butt of her rifle?

>not using schlicking for proper lubrication and rifle maintenance

I imagine Elves would be fantastic riflemen.

>>44733005
Hiding from a Minotaur at that precise moment in actual fact.

>>44733005

Where did you think rifle lube came from?

Sword World.

>>44732962
Shadowrun, you you just said is exactly shadowrun, aka the worlds best setting (and mid-tier gameplay).

>>44733402
I thought that was RIFTS?

>>44733402
Shadowrun is a modern setting which has fantasy elements added, rather than the reverse.

I don't know how successfully, but in a prior game, the DM incorporated a genderbent Stuntman Mike (I think) complete with car, in typical D&D fantasy. If nothing else it made the game pretty tense and scary at times, when being stalked by a car killer and all you've got is horses and wagons.

>>44733476
...huh, how was it rationalised? And how the hell did you deal with it?

>>44733688
I believe it was a case of magic portal fuckery, which lead to all sorts of wacky happenings and items showing up, though the car was obviously the most prominent example. The driver herself wasn't magical, she just ended up getting unwillingly portaled to the "real world" or the game equivalent of it, and while there got a car which came with her when eventually she got portaled back. Once back in the fantasy world, she kept her car for awhile till a magic user was able to create a magical source of fuel. After that she became a contract killer of sorts.

How we dealt with it, pretty badly actually. At least three of us were killed outright at different times in the game, and the rest of us injured to varying extents. Eventually we managed to catch her without the car and took her prisoner.

Literally GATE

No

You're kidding, right?
>I'm hiding from a Minotaur!
>You know, one of the beastmen types with unfairly stronk sense of smell!
>I'd better masturbate so he can find the scent of my eroticism from 2 miles away!
It's like she wants to take it in the butt.

Well, two pages later she does eject the magazine and drop the rifle on it's head, whilst trying to work out how to remove the safety.

Stupid and luckless. . .

Not exactly...

>>44734532
It'd be much better if it was.

>>44733467
Cyberpunk

>>44734548

Or the inverse. I felt there was too much to explore that wasn't for reasons.

>>44734532
Wow.
I'm genuinely surprised at this revelation.

>>44732962
I just finished reading a book series about the guy ending in a fantasy world and starting to recreate modern weapons and outfit elves and humans with them to fight Ragnarok.

It is cheesy and full of smut power fantasy but I actualy liked it.

Few chapters are freely avalible here

>>44732962
is that the only manga/story to have elves with sniper riffles.

I saw some pics on tg, were they from some particular book?

>>44734251
Is this more of that gate thing

Gate - Thus the JSDF fought there

/a/ and /k/ have been handling the scanlations. When it was first released, new chapters would be posted here as well. Though that was a while ago.

It's good fun, but it has its flaws. It's rather nationalistic in places, though not as much as the light novels it's based on. On the other hand, of you want to see a dragon get hit by an rpg, then this is the manga for you.

Oh boy here we go again

>>44737883
I knew there was some reason I stopped reading it a few chapters in... well several reasons I guess.

>>44733402
Exactly two halves of shadowrun are good. High tech corporate mercenary espionage with dangerous megacorps watching your every move, and magic bleeding through into the real world. if you take the ideas separately, and put the fantasy bit in say, the 11th century, you have two wonderful settings. As is, it's actual garbage
