What systems are good for idylic rural town fantasy?

Golden Sky Stories, but it's not a very good system.

Freeform
Roll assisted freeform
Ryutama
Maid
A game you could brew

Any game that has pretty and peaceful corner.

GSS is bretty gud.

>>53205986
>>53206094

Seconding these. There are a lot of Japanese RPGs suited to that kind of feeling. GSS is perfect if you want something more socially inclined and don't want combat. And Ryuutama works well if you want something that involves traveling over long distances (maybe the countryside?).

Maid is probably the least suited for this kind of thing, given that it's pretty comedic and prone to exploding into anime-fueled insanity. But this can be solved through the GM either not allowing that stuff, or creating a more serious playset.

Maid is actually quite... hrm, it happens a LOT of shit in a MAID game. Even without random tables. Not exactly the same pace of Aria, even without considering everything else.

To be fair tough OP didn't say he needs a iyashikei game. I guess you could have cute maids in a cute rural town, but at this point even DND does your usual idyllic elven village between dungeons, I guess.

The best system for an idyllic rural town fantasy is to go to an idylic rural town with a bunch of friends, rent a cottage, and fantasise. Go fishing, take walks in the woods, talk to each other.

This is not something so distant from our own experience that you need a game to do it.

What if I uploaded my consciousness to the internet and can only socialise through the medium of text rps?

>>53206429
this, same goes for cooking, making art, or any other kind of actual real craft/experience. Why the fuck would you want to pretend having experiences that are so easily achievable in real life?

>>53206429
Did you not get the fantasy part. There would be occult mysteries and stuff.

Have a friend move a computer to a rural town and turn on your webcam.

>>53206929
go to /x find some occult bullshit that take place where you live and go track it down. Guaranteed you'll get way more entertainment urban spelunking trying to find Stabbo McRapefist than rolling dice in a basement

Then he needs a system for occult mysteries, not one for a rural town. The occult mysteries are the game, the rural town is just a setting.

Nah OP, sometimes "you're looking for the wrong thing" really is the right answer.

But sure, if you must have a system, use d20 Modern. It is approximately bad enough to get you to go outside once in a while.

How would you run a campaign set in quiet, ldylic underwater city full of cute fishboys and fishgirls?

That's like suggesting to kill yourself if you want to play out a depressed character.

How about realizing that it's just a fantasy and that the people out in bumfuck nowhere don't understand why city folks want to move out there so bad.

Serious question OP, or anyone for that matter, independently of the system, how would you run a game or campaign in an idyllic town? From what I gather you want to do something slice-of-life-esque and i am intrigued.

Would there be any overarching plot? mistery? a dark side few people in town know?

I'd probably do it more light-hearted fantasy.

Bit of frontier style stuff, managing a farm. Basically Rune Factory.

>>53211373
At first I thought it would be amazing to run a "Wicker Man" story campaign on the 40k setting, but the more I think about it, the more I'm convinced this is regular ocurrence to inquisitors sent to investigate either Chaos cults or genestealer cults, so it kinda loses its charm.

I find the only people that really hate it where the poor, or the social outcasts.

>>53208911
Kids usually hate it
They want don't know any better and idealize the city.
Having lived in both, Im glad Im in the country. Its quiet, its peaceful, people are just considerably nicer.
2 things I miss about the city. The internet, its quite slow out here, and the community for tabletops. Country is better in every other way

>>53209654
I love the idea of slice of life with tons of occult. A really laid back vibe, just a group of friends investigating the mysteries of the town.
It opens to it to a lot of fun encounters, whether you want to take it in a fake side (no real occult, just misunderstandings) or actual occult stuff.
I think I'd throw in some real threats every handful of games but in general it'd be all just comfy adventures in ghosts and spooks

Burning Wheel could work.
