Repeater-era Fantasy

How messed magic are you integrating into this? What kind of repeaters? Multiple barrel, harmonica, revolving, chain, etc?

bumping for curiosity. Tell us more!

As far as repeaters, lever-action rifles or early bolt-actions like the Vetterli, or revolvers like the Colt SAA, or Smith and Wesson model 3. Magic, probably pretty simple light-fantasy stuff.

The route they'll take leads them through a great desert, with ancient cities in the center modeled off of Samarkand (more or less). On the way, they'll run into railroad construction projects which are costing enormous amounts of human life, abandoned caravanserai, ghost towns with dry wells, not!Russian Okhrana agents, until they finally reach the colonial border outposts. From there it becomes a great race against time back to the capital, in order to prevent catastrophe.

I've been working on a campaign based on Steven King's "Dark Tower" universe, where the players are Gunslingers. It won't be related in any way to the books, I'm just borrowing the premise because I think its cool.

I'm surprised the typical "Guns? in muh fantasy settings!?" crowd hasn't shown up yet

Medieval stasis isn't a thing. People like Newcomen and Watt will always arise.

I think an age of steam sort of setting (but not steampunk) would be a great setting for an RPG, whether fantastic or not. For me, the big thing with that sort of setting is transportation. I have yet to see a game system that handles cars or airplanes elegantly, nevermind starfighters. But as far as gaming goes, trains and steamships are more of set pieces than vehicles.

It's a fun era, really. For your martial classes, you have so many options. Infantry, Cavalry, Lancer, Dragoon, Zouave, Sapper, Sharpshooter/Rifleman, and so on.

It is for popular table top systems like D&D. Speaking of which, looking back at the UA for modern magic my sincere hope is that they don't try to clone Shadowrun and do a modern setting that doesn't imply its the real world but MAGIC!

>Any input?
Deadlands. All of the stuff you just described? Deadlands. Railroads, ghost towns, deserts, revolvers, Deadlands. Magic is there, it's powerful but isn't skullfuck-reality powerful.

I've been working on a different flavour of fantasy/magic realism eastern, based around the Russian Civil War in the 20s. The setting is a mix of Central Asia with ancient cities, deserts and basmachi jihadists, and the independent buffer states of the Far East, with local tribes and not!Japan pushing their agenda. And the fantasy races are actually groups of humans with strange ideologies/religions who are just perceived as non-human.

Fuck that sounds good. Russian steppe-western movies are the tits. Shestoy's a good one, for this tone.

Thanks. Yeah, I drew inspiratoin from those movies and also from some books like Andrey Platonov's Chevengur.
