How are the communication systems in your setting tg?

>>50204427
It's based on earth circa 1999.
Some of our party have cell phones our rich parents bought us, one NPC keeps sending us letters, the Internet is starting to grow and we all have email accounts.

Also we all have ancient smart phones created by a precurssor race over ten thousand years ago, disguised as gaudy, childish, makeup compacts.

Magical Girl setting.

I take it Miss Orange Hair is said megane?

There is a postal system connecting most major towns, courier businesses everywhere, rail networks are slowly connecting the country, those who know the right spells can send telepathic messages, telegraph has just been invented and our party has a baby dragon who can send messages with her fire breath to keep in contact with the Princess.

This is what happens when you ask you younger sister what she wants to play and all your friends are closeted Bronies.

Sounds like the D&D Animated Series.

Fragmented intranets with sort of terrible WiFi security

>>50204427
The most technologically advanced communication system in the setting would consist of messengers using a horse relay and well-maintained roads. Spirit messengers are sometimes employed by ritualists, and they are much faster, but they are considered somewhat unreliable for everyday usage.

Can somebody please tell me what's up with the Japanese and their creepy fascination with incest?

>I take it Miss Orange Hair is said megane?
No, they are from different shows, just both have an issue of a glasses wearing girl trying to be involved with their brother.

current setting is a hodgepodge mix of magic, postal and the rare digital communication
most of the magical communication is direct person to person but there are the occasional prerecorded messages and whatnot although large announcements are generally left to posters and town cryers with only the most vital of information getting a giant megaphone or something magically appearing over each town in the kingdom.

im gonna give alessio cavatores new game a try when it comes out and that will be pretty much all postal with maybe a few drops of magic.

The setting consists of isolated city-states separated by vast stretches of monster infested wilderness, so the main method of communication between them is via couriers on flying mounts. Very few mages are capable of casting communication spells and they are often busy with local concerns so they usually only use them in emergencies or when speed is paramount.

Japan is a fucked up nation

Interstellar internet. Nuff said.

>>50204905
also a few places have some basic morse code telegraph stuff

and of course carrier birds

Or it's the simple fact that porn delves into taboos, which humans are naturally drawn to. This concept is older than the bible. Hell, it's older than the Torah.

That sounds pretty dope. Some kind of millennium apocalypse angle?

>>50204802
>creepy
Fuck off, normie. There's nothing more romantic than incest. Except loli incest.

>>50204802
>why the fuck would a reclusive island nation be into fucking their kin

Next you're probably gonna ask why races like brits&japs look quite bit more inbred than their continental counterparts.

>>50204988
but how

>>50205187

Fucking slip space wifi mang.

>That feeling when your planets NetSat gets put down for repairs
>Can't watch that new anime made on Elysus while it's down

Such is life.

>>50205069
Yep.
We are trying to prevent an unknown villain from bringing about an ice age, like in Sailor Moon which was a big insperation.
We've faced off against both Dracula and the Illuminati who both had a connection to the BBEG and now we seem to be getting to the final few sessions.

The Church of Not!Hermes (I run a game with gods based on the greek pantheon) runs a pony express style mail system.

>>50204427
There are several public communication networks for civillians to use, about four times as many more for private, government and military use.
These are everything from cell phones, internet, sub-space data exchange systems to quantum slip-space corridors.

Also, a lot of effort goes into maintaining an exceptionally complex system of public transport so it continues to run at peak effiency.
This allows face to face communication for everyone no matter where they may live.
Also private courier businesses are everywhere. Ever since the postal service became a victim of the ongoing political power-struggles and remains in a barely functioning state, many people have found this an easy business venture. If not exactly a overly profitable one.

Because it's hot

Setting: Early Modern, High Fantasy RPG.

Displacement technologies are significantly more advanced than comm devices, since there's a enormous network build by a precursor race in the middle of the empire, the Fate Matrix.

This makes that a specific sort of teleportation, which is a location-based displacement on certain nodes (the orbitation spells) become expensive, but not outrageously so. But the arcane artificers don't know how to use the matrix for comunication, so there's post mail and a very, very unusual and expensive method of communication for key points of the Realm, the Oracular Orbs, which act as videoconference.

So: usually relies on couriers (months), unless important/wealthy people require fast communications, which means the wealthy person or a courier orbits to the closest node on the matrix and travels to the location of the recipient (days). If there's a VIP who needs to connect to a crucial point of the Realm urgently, he can do so extremely fast (instant).

Probably. Half my friends will likely buy it as soon as they can.

Capable of sending live coverage of the planetary invasion of the alien homeworld.

Local communications on colonies are like modern day set ups; there's a local internet, there are several phone services, wifi easily available. Long distance communications between colonies and planets is possible but very slow and bandwith is pricey; governments and corporations maintain relatively high speed communications but it's not readily available and many smaller colonies especially in the belts have limited access to it.

They equate love with copulation.
Ancient romans had a similar cognitive problem when christians came preaching love thy brother.

Ficto-1859, "Steampunk, but without the stupid stuff like needless cogs" setting:
The means of communications are the mails, telegraphs, and messengers.
In addition to these more traditional means, the brilliant inventor Adrian Alsetton has created a network of "speakwires," much like proto-telephones. The audio quality is lackluster and the coverage is limited, but you can speak with people at a distance! Only the well-to-do can afford them, but only the well-to-do have need for them.
There are rumors that Adrian made a deal with the devil to obtain his engineering genius.

Not-so Distant Future 2100ish setting:
Thanks to humans merging with technology, people have effectively developed telepathy. Some people are so engrossed with telepathy and "the new social media" that they have become a hive mind. A hive mind that really likes group selfies.
Of course, they ever band together and do anything useful. If they worked together for a cause, they could probably overthrow a nation.

People going in the right direction, usually traders and other logisticians, take a letter for you in exchange for a bit of pay. Or God could do you a solid and pass the message along for you.

>>50204802
The Japanese are basically like white people but even more.

>>50204802
A lot of it stems from the fact that male/female adoption can take place between families for many reasons. There are still cases of people being adopted into families because they take on certain positions or choose certain careers.

>>50204427
Semaphore system, carrier birds, messengers, and the occasional wizard if you're important enough to merit one's time and willing to risk daemons picking up a phone and listening in.
