All folklore suddenly becomes real.
Fae woods out of nowhere, Wild Hunt come galloping down the main street, Wendigo prowling the forests, and Ifrits all around the equator.

Your only mercy is that gods are exempt, so Zeus won't be raping your sister/wife/mother as any kind of creature, nobody gets closure on christianity, and Loki won't be shitting up just about everything.

What the fuck do you do, guys? Especially if pic related is in your neighborhood park.

Die, most likely. Try and adjust as best I can otherwise, without making any kind of major impact due to a lack of any kind of applicable skills and knowledge. I'm too native to the old world; the skills needed to truly excel in the new one won't be found in anyone who isn't born to it.

Best-case scenario is that I become a completely average citizen of the new world.

And anyone in this thread who claims anything different about themselves is a bold-faced liar.

This depends entirely on how surprised they are.
That sounds powerful enough to penetrate passive defences.
Depending on the lore, a gun can wreck even the toughest fae, if they don't prevent you from firing.
Which most of the stronger ones can do pretty effortlessly.
>>
>>50112503
Yeah, but can a greater fae keep some dude in a bunker across the country from blowing it up with a drone strike?

Modern military technology would shit all over pretty much all American folklore and most of the European shit.

>>50112791
The wild hunt is Odin/Wodan/Wotan and his companions that are either dead or fairies or a mix of them (depends on local tradition) out supernaturally hunting. That's it, the god and his posse.
There are post-Christian versions were Wodan-analogues are used, but it's recognizable

If not, find something likely to give me a swift and painless death, or something that would do a lotus-eater sort of false reality, before something worse comes along and tries to torture me to death.

i figure merpeople must have mammalian reproductive organs, like dolphins but more humanoid. Otherwise, why the breasts? Breasts are pretty much the signature feature of mammals, so if the mermaid has them (and traditionally all mermaids do) its logical to assume that she's much more likely to have a vagina than a cloaca.

Not that a cloaca entirely rules out penetrative intercourse anyway.

Load the warhead with cold iron, or whatever that particular fae creature is weak to.

Napalm.

Okay, but what does that relate to what we're talking about at all?

I'd be more concerned about shapeshifting fae spies and infiltrators than direct conflicts.

It's a poetic metaphor for an iron sword; do you know a lot of humans who don't die from fucking iron
It's also from a 19th century poet about one specific fey.

>>50114315
If it does, then it also includes the SCP Foundation, which would render moot everything in this thread, so no.
>>
>>50114485
>cold iron is a phrase
Yeah, and it evolved into the modern phrase "cold steel." It's just traditional to refer to it as such when talking about the fae.

>it was about one particular fae
Yep. And then people ran with the idea, and now it's common folklore that all fae are weak to iron. Considering that OP said ALL folklore is real, it's fair to assume that isn't exempt.

I played a campaign that was basically this but grimdark.

The answer is to befriend the friendly, be wary of the neutral, and pack heat when you're facing the unfriendly. Of course, the most exceptional skill is knowing when each is in play or appropriate.

We ended up getting some close calls with the unfriendly, but quick-wittedness gave us an edge when appropriate. Even kept some unfriendlies at bay in humorous and creative ways.

When it gets down to it, when things get weird the people who can adapt to the weird have an edge. Especially when they make themselves just as weird in response. I would have to venture that after a successive generation or two in the feywilds, humanity would probably end up fairly adjusted to it. Give them a thousand years and you might have a people as indistinguishable from the feywilds as anything else in them.

And come to think of it, maybe that's what caused the feywilds to be so weird in the first place? It's almost parasitic, but perhaps softer than that concept. It absorbs and incorporates others into it, and those that can survive become its denizens. Maybe it's end goal is mercy, or perhaps the feywilds itself is a living, benevolent entity that strives to preserve all within its confines, forever eternal? Maybe it shifts dimensions or travels between planets, and absorbs its gaea into its own in a non-euclidian manner, more spacious inside than outside.

Earth has been chosen, and has been given a new domain should they choose to enter. Do they rebuke the accept embrace of this mother dimension, or rebuke it as a parasite? Whatever the answer, I suppose it's waiting inside, deep in the heart of the feywilds.

>But they can fuck with that incoming drone though.
Only if they know that it's even there. The thing isn't going to be buzzing the treetops. A Predator has a publicly reported service ceiling of 25,000 feet. The Reaper and Avenger have publicly reported ceilings of 50,000 feet.

>Also, explosions, napalm, and fire aren't as bad for them as bullets, fyi.
For a lot of explosives the explosion itself isn't the primary means of killing targets it's what's propelled by the explosion that does the work. That being things like explosively formed penetrators and shrapnel. The reason for this being that the force of an explosion is carried through the atmosphere as a wave and the intensity of a wave decreases by the square of the radius from it's epicenter. Projectiles thrown can carry that energy and stay lethal for much longer distances than the pressure front of the explosion itself. They also concentrate that energy on a smaller impact surface when they strike a target allowing them to penetrate and destroy things that an explosion alone would hardly damage at all.

I wouldn't worry about it.

Buy fucktons of salt, always have batteries, and start learning warding spells/charms

Also, gypsies will be a new world power, since they've likely kept their ways after all these years and know tooooons of spiritual mojo that lots of society forgot/ignored.

And I'll be avoiding the shit out of Australia, New Zealand, Europe, the American wilderness, Alaska, and every single part of Asia.

Not safe, man.
We need to start the /tg/ Antarctic colony.
No people have ever formed any folklore there, so we're safe!

fucking vampires everywhere, now you can't even die in peace. Also the medditeranean is fucking impossible to navigate now, seeing how it is filled with a fuckton of monsters. Also if greek mythology/religion is real you can actually go the the afterlife and bring people back. If you manage to become sue enough for death to let you

Something a lot of people seem to be forgetting in this thread is that a non-trivial number of mythological/folkloric beasts have very esoteric weaknesses. The main reason they were esoteric is because the weaknesses were commonly available back in the day, but due to the modern era's excesses that may not necessarily be the case.

Take, for example

>Monster that exists in the corner of your eye. It's summoned when a person in one's family committs a crime, and the family supports them even though they know that what was done is inexcusable. Thus, they and everyone related to them in percentages >3% are cursed. This monster slowly eats the soul of those so afflicted.

>Can be warded off with 1 year of dedicated prayer with a Shaman/etc & repentance. Must live in a house made with wood of tree XYO. Must wear a laurel up only of plants ADE, EFO, ZMJ & QUT. Else soul cannot regrow.

Problem? They're extinct. All of them.

>>50110068
I try to make my own setting like this actually, all the areas in the world are inhabited by creatures from the folklore coming from the real world groups on which the humans of that area are based on.
>>
>>50125099
We have two varieties.

The one based on St Nicholas who is a jolly old Greek looking dude with magical powers who hands out gifts to good little boys and girls.

The other is this Lappish looking man vaguely reminiscent of the All Father. He also hands out gifts but will ruin your day if he feels you deserve it. Also has an army of elves at his command.

Black hair, brown eyes here. Also Jewish. Aren't blond and blue recessive, or at least less-dominant traits, and therefore uncommon and less likely to frequently appear in a sample of people?
Pic unrelated.

>>50128730
I occasionally enjoy snek without vore. Snek curling around you for a hug or under you like a seat is nice, and I like to think of snek waifu doing the tongue thing in your face playfully, especially as a staring contest breaker.
I just also like snek with vore more frequently.

My autism was just about the drones and explosives. I know there's probably plenty of things you can't just shoot at to make them go away.

How old does something have to be to be considered folklore? Frankenstein, for example, is about 198 years old. Grey aliens are about 125.
>>
>>50129488
Recessive traits are not necessarily rarer than dominant ones, though I can certainly see why you'd think so. In "melting pots" the phenotype often become rarer if they're neutral, and with genetic drift it can disappear.

Dr. Frankenstein and his monster are entirely fictional. But what is really fucking scary is that he is based off of real life Alchemists of that era who performed experiments on trying to revive the dead.

One guy even took a criminal who was hanged to death, and managed to use electrical currents on the fresh corpse to make it breathe, move limbs, and have facial expressions.

These experiments are actually where the concept of using electricity to get the heart pumping again after a heart attack/whatnot came from.

So Dr. Frankenstein and his monster? No. But all of the ghouls and their Alchemists that Dr. Frankenstein was based off of? Yes.

Which is a shit ton scarier than the novel.

Does ebola-chan (and her cousins marburg, zika, black-death, aids and yellow fever) turn real too then? Because malicious disease embodiments would cause even more mayhem than slendy.

Grab a Chevy Impala, load up on rocksalt and sawnoffs, make money solving hauntings through vast and previously useless knowledge of folklore and mythology, go for roughly five seasons before jumping the shark into a kaleidoscopic fireball of weird shit.

On one hand, meeting a sphinx would be neat. On the other hand, I would probably choke at the riddle and die for it.

>>50122513
...I would absolutely seek one of those out. Ideally with someone else to let them go first, then maybe they'd keep me around until the other person finishes digesting and it's my turn to die in blissful ecstasy instead of having my liver torn out or whatever.

Liches ain't folklore. They're D&D.

>>50136922
They are russian folklore. A soul in a needle in an egg in a chicken in a hare in a duck in a fish in a lake in an island that only appeared every so often and only could be killed if fatally injured by the needle in the forehead
Or some variation of that. He didn't look like a skeleton tho, was just deathless

Reminder that the only reason it took that long was an attempt to please everyone and it still led to a civil war.
>>
>>50141123
Actually, the Civil War was more about state's rights, though the reason it kicked off was because the federal government thought that slavery wasn't a things for states to determine the legality of for themselves.
And no, I'm not a white supremacist. I'm just mentioning.

I guess I'm a bloodline werewolf now....hope I don't get silvered by the inevitable roving gangs of human monster slayers. I'll probably do my best to keep clear of the big bads and make friends with the standard humans and "friendly and not entirely lethal" forest and city dwellers.....anyone have any room in their post-magic conclave?

>>50141508
>Actually, the Civil War was more about state's rights,

The Southern States' rights to own slaves. And to go to Northern States and enforce their property rights to said slaves. Despite the fact that this infringed on the rights of Northern States to enforce their own laws against slavery and the emancipation of escaped slaves.
